Cold,rain/snow mix and some old coot drove through a 5 strand barbed wire fence.
I had put my heavy coveralls on figuring they'd soak up water before it got to my skin if I worked fast. I took a bale across the road,closed the gate and had to wait for a car that was coming before I could cross the road. An SUV. The old guy never slowed down,never made any attempt to turn,just ran straight off the curve,up through the ditch,through the fence and out in the pasture. I drove down there quick,had quite a time even getting his attention,he finally rolled down the back window before he rolled down the front one. Seemed real confused. Didn't have a clue why he'd done what he did. I told him not to try to drive back out so he tore up any more fence.
I came up and called the cops. While I was on the phone,he drove back down nose first in to the ditch. I hung up and shot right back down there on the tractor. By then he was hung up crossways with two wheels off the ground. I sat there in the rain for 20 minutes or more waiting for the cops. A neighbor stopped and I told him to wait there a minute,I'd get the wife to come down in the pickup and wait.
I was loading the second load of silage when a state cop finally went by. I shot back down and the guy was telling him just what he did and that he didn't know what happened. Handicap plate,walker in the back seat,confused as all get out and when the wrecker go his car out,the cop let him get right back in and drive away.
If he goes down the road and kills somebody,it's not on me. I called the cops. Now I'm just hoping the rain lets up long enough to fix the fence without having to change everything all the way down to and including my underwear again.

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
