Even as dry as it has been

I have a mud puddle just magically appear between two buildings, so need to dig up the water line and do some replacing. To keep it kind of tractor related I am going to use the bobcat to dig most of it then finish with the Mexican backhoe. If I get to hot I will have a mud puddle to roll in! LOL At least it is not below freezing .

Yes, you are fortunate to have good weather. Go get yourself one of those easy up shelters to give yourself some shade while you work.

I dug up a hydrant in my barn in June to replace it. I hired a sixteen year old from the church to dig it up for me. Money well spent and we were both happy when we were done. I forgot that I put it 6 ft. down when I installed it 28 years ago. A little overkill for lower Mi. winters but it never froze.

I've got a hole in the corral right now. A pipe started leaking under the waterer. There was just about 10 feet of old galvanized pipe that hadn't been replaced with plastic and that's what went. The pipe's replaced,but I have to get the hydrant,lift pipe,shut off and insulated tube back in so I can get the hole filled back in and pour a new cement slab. It's been so danged hot since I got filling silo last week that I just haven't had it in me to work on it. I need to get at it in the morning and at least work until it gets too hot again. Supposed to start cooling down about Wednesday. I need to get some holes patched up in the east feedlot too when I pour that slab. That'll take another days work to get the manure dug out of those to get ready to pour. It never ends when there's cattle around.
