One of those days...

I was so slow waking up this morning that I had to put a granola bar in my back pocket and eat it later...couldn't even think about eating! lol, I am terrible at eating breakfast anyway.

Morning chores went pretty normal. By the time I had them finished everyone was around and meeting up at the shop...today we tried to start haying. Note the tried! Right after chores I helped move Ross's pickup to the field he was windrowing and then got a ride back. My instructions were to take the hydrobed pickup (one of the 'good' pickups) to the field we started disking a few weeks ago and never got finished because of rain and then a flat tire. So I started over there and when I got there I had to wander around for a bit because I couldn't quite find the right field approach or remember exactly how to get there. No one was answering on the radio so I drove around for a while and decided I wasn't quite in the right place yet. I went to drive out of a field approach I hadn't driven in and...the pickup stopped. Yep, I had successfully high centered it on a complete three foot or so vertical drop off that I had no idea was that steep. So I got out, had a few choice words for the situation, and after trying I decided there was no way to get out without a pull. So, I called Merle who was headed my way to meet a well repair man right about then. He came over- wondered how the heck I managed to get the pickup like that- and pulled me out. All that I bent was the running boards but I was still mad! I mean really, how ridiculous! But, it is sorta funny. In the process of trying to bend the running boards back down we broke one, so I guess it'll have to go to the shop sometime this week. I hadn't really broke or bent much yet, so I probably had this whole deal coming. Merle was a little late meeting his well man because we were wiring up the running board, and I finally went on my way feeling as dumb as ever.

I finally did find the field and tractor and greased up and headed out. Meanwhile Ross and Jeff were haying and Tina was picking up four wheelers in Chadron. I disked all morning up until about 2:30 when I fuel gage started flashing at me. So I headed back home and got Merle out of the field so we could load up the portable fuel tank for the summer and bring it out to my farming tractor. By the time we loaded it, I filled it, got it out there, filled the tractor, and came back, it was chore time. Appartently things just didn't work out too well today. I high centered the pickup, the well man wasn't sure if he remembered to completely fix one well, I ran out of fuel, Jeff ran out of fuel, the baler had a flat tire and was never serviced this winter like it was supposed to be, and whenever we needed something it was no where to be found. I think it was just one of those days- I'm hoping we got most of the crap overwith for a while so that the rest of haying can go fairly smoothly! We'll see:)

We got evening chores done and then I went in, showered, watered my lovely dormant garden, and went to town for S-190 and S-130 class. Tonight's class was pretty interesting again. We learned a lot about gear and how to use tools. Sounds like tomorrow will be some more of that. It's lightning out like crazy tonight, hopefully we don't have any fires-but if we do you know where I'm headed! lol

I got to farm today, so that made a lot of the crappy stuff better, but hopefully tomorrow I get to finish the field and start another one- that would be cool!
