Talk about a crappy day

This heat is about to kill me and slowly dissolving what few brain cells I have. Started off this morning going to get elevator bolts for work well I thought it was elevator bolts drive an hour to the fastenall store walk in I’m here to pick up bolts we called yesterday you said you had them I need 50 bolts and fifty nuts stainless steel I may as well had 3 heads I didn’t get a call the girl looks around asked the other guy did you get a call nope . I guess the mystery person that said they had the bolts musta go nnalert overnight and died who knows who cares why didn’t they set the bolts out and have them ready ? Then come to find out I was just supposed to get regular bolts but stainless so call and cancel the special order and have them actually get the bolts ready this time we’ll have someone pick them up what a mess . Spent the rest of the day hauling fertilizer got home the weather Is supposed to be good for a few days so I decide to cut more hay couldn’t get the stupid mower on usually it’s a 3 minute job but it wouldn’t go finally get it on and got the little field of hay cut and decide I’ll unhook the mower and hook the rake forgot to unhook the hydraulic hoses start to drive away and look back the mower is trying to do a cartwheel as the hose jerk it across the ground just stupid mistakes all day long hopefully tomorrow will be better but my luck it might be worse

SV if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Mom told ya there'd be days like that. She didn't tell ya how many. RB
 
It can get discouraging but today's over and done with. Tomorrow's another day, new opportunities, new challenges.

I find as I get older that after 12-14 hours I start to make silly stupid mistakes, and even little things like bumping my shine on a tractor draw bar, small things that just don’t happen till the end of a long day. So realizing this , I now just call it a day when I start to feel beat. Better to retreat and regroup, and fight the good fight another day, than break some equipment or me
 
Fasnal has employee issues like many others. No one writes anything down so there is deniability.
Once things in a day start out with grief, the running thoughts can obscure good thinking for following tasks. normal reality is often 45% better off thought through twice. The young do worse. Jim
 
Yesterday must have been National Bad Karma day.

I had my share of misfortunes as well.

I agree with Bruce below, when I start making mistakes, it's time to hang it up for the day. This happens to me mostly in the summer heat. I call it "getting a case of the stupids".

Too bad I don't recognize the symptoms until its too late.

Hang in there, we're pulling for you.

Exactly Bruce, Especially running the dozer.....when I get frustrated pushing brush & it not going like I want it to. Shut down and call a time out. Took me many yrs. to figure that out.
 
The mower trying to do cart wheels is almost funny, but I know it wasn't at the time. Some days are just like that. Hurrying to leave this morning to another mowing job, to beat the heat, and not start another fire. I forgot to unplug my battery charger. Get to my job, and see the charger cord missing the plug, under the trailer tire. I have no idea why the charger wasn't pulled off the trailer. That screw up only cost a cord end. Could have lost the whole thing. On the way home I thought I would see my extension cord laying along the road. It was stretched out still home. I still have 6 hours to go. Stan
 
Jesus said, in this world you will have trouble, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.
I feel your pain. I found out today that I cracked the block on my backhoe.
 
RLP ..... if you hadn't had a crappy day yourself with your backhoe, I might have made a funny reply to your bible quote .... well, I would have thought it funny, not sure if you would have. Meanwhile though, good luck with the fix. I can't imagine anyone sabotaging your tractor but one never knows.
 
Not the brightest penny in the jar here but seems to me at almost 68 yrs that the end game for all of us is that we will bump our heads and fall and it will hurt. Hard lesson to learn but slower is better and cheaper all way around.
