Moving Equipment Back








Well vacation is over and so back to work we go. Laurie, Howie and I started the morning moving the old Caravan and grain truck back to the farm. Laurie drove Howie's truck and picked up the decoys that tried to escape off the grain truck. The next trip was Laurie on the ATV

with the sprayer, Howie in the Ford pickup and me in Howie's truck picking up anything that should fall off the Ford. We looked like the Clampet's without Granny on top. LOL!! The final trip was Howie on the combine and Laurie in Howie's truck while I took the Massy up on the hill where we have the implements parked. I had to hook the chain to the grain wagon and pull it out of the field backward to the dirt road. The Other Bethmann's had the field planted with soybeans when we parked there and now they have grown up around everything. We are trying to remove the implements and cause as little damage as possible. That is why I was pulling it wagon out of the field. I was then in the process of pushing it further when Laurie and Howie joined me. We got it turned and hooked up to the Massy. I pulled it to the farm with them folling me this time. With the heat index in the 100's I was whiped. We quit there so Howie could get to bed, Laurie off to her busy day and Me to cool off for a bit.


Dave got home from the PO and went to Greens Bottom to get the planter. He said there is quite a bit of water in the field. While we were gone there was a heavy rain. Our rain guage had 4" of rain. The one at the farm had 3" but it could have evaporated some out.


As you can see we are slowly getting some of it moved back.


I will post more pictures later in the week.


Love,
Mickey
