Why is it that when you make plans to get things done somebody throw's a monkey wrench into the plan's? Monday I called my spray guy about when he could spray my ground sprayed for burn down for no-till beans, Saturday at the soonest as we are still spraying for corn. Ok Saturday it is. My cousin called Tuesday and said Joe can spread lime on Thursday if you want him to, Cool set it up. So Wednesday I spent the day getting things ready for both of these guys to do there jobs. Well Thursday morning my cousin started hauling lime in bright and early and had 2 loads in by noon (Joe will be there by 1 pm), Joe calls and the spreader is down and he's fixing it and should be there by 5pm. I went with my cousin to get the last load and the ride over was not bad but we waited for 1/2 hour to get loaded so no big deal. The ride back liked to jarred my insides out, Man that truck rides rough in the passengers seat. Well we got back about 3.30pm and cousin left and I went to work brush hogging and doing some clean up work. At quarter of 7 Joe rolls in with the backhoe and he looks like 10 miles of bad road and asks me if tomorrow morning is ok to start, Sure its ok as the rain will be tomorrow night. We all left for the night.
Friday morning, I get to the farm at 7:30 am it rained for 10 mins and quit, Not looking good. Joe calls and he will be there in about 1/2 hour, Ok I'll go to town and get another cup of coffee. In town I pass my spray guy going the other way, Oh crap! I get coffee head back and there both there in the field one spraying the other spreading lime. They kept getting in each others way so not my problem as the two of them are friends anyway and they worked it out. While they were doing there thing I got the skid steer out and cleaned out some brush in a ditch line I need to gravel to slow the water down. Well they got it sprayed and the lime spread and no rain so now all I have to do is run the harrowgator over the worked ground to work the lime in. Joe asks me if I can follow him down to his next job as his guy just had a wreck, Sure. 25 miles later he pulled the backhoe into the next field. Back to the farm so he can get his Tarrow-gator so he can take it and go. He leaves and I jump on Big Bertha (Case 930) to start harrowgating. Dead battery, Great! I left the key on. I took the truck over for a jump start, Get it started and head to the field and its getting dark like it's going to rain. It get done about the time the sky opened up. Got to the barn but was dripping wet. 10 min later the sun is out. Go figure! Got home took a shower and called it a day. One guy late one early and one screw up day. But its all done! Bandit

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
