and shoveling out bunks... and pulling out the chief... and pushing snow... and pulling out the chief again... and getting the skid loader stuck trying to pull the chief out... and praying the sun comes out to dry the calves... and wondering why the fuse on the skidloader wipers keeps blowing... and climbing onto the machine shed roof to screw down the steel roofing that is flapping in the 50mph wind before it and a couple others go flying ... and driving the tractor over to the chiefs house... and pulling the chief out again... and getting the skidloader stuck in the cattle yard... and bedding down the sows with dry straw... and battling the frozen silo unloader.. and freezing 2 pair of insulated coveralls solid... and pushing snow... and shoveling out every door on the place to get in... and "Grateful for the opportunity!"
As much as I hated day's like this when I lived on the farm there is still a part of me that wishes I was right there. Love the post of the steel flapping in the wind. That takes some major dedication! Miss you guys. Have a great Christmas!
