I set a record yesterday that I don't care to ever try or have to repeat. I told a guy at the tractor club meeting Wednesday evening that there was no way I could rake 35 acres and bale it yesterday. I was wrong. The chance of rain jumped from 40% to 80% so I was motivated. There wasn't much dew, so I started raking at 8:30 and was baling by noon. I took half an hour off for supper and to load up with twine and got done at 7:15. 225 4x5 twine wrapped bales with that 24 year old Gehl baler that some people say you can't start a bale with. No miss starts at all. By 7 o'clock the fatigue was getting pretty serious, but I survived.

In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
