Waitin' On The Lady

I think I just plain chose the wrong darned week to do hay. :>(

We've got 3 tenths of rain over the past two days. Wind is blowin' at 20 knots, humidty is so high ya can almost wring the water out of the air and the hay just won't dry down enough to bale. Just feels "gummy".

Raked up 45 acres this afternoon, but nothing to do now except wait on Mother Nature and her dry ways to return to "normal", I guess.

Be my luck that it will rain again tonight after I've already turned the darned stuff. :>(

Where are you? ....or.... Have you moved? I thought Oz woz the only place big enough to turn around a rig like that :-).

Seem to remember that just the other day when you were asking for rain for your wheat that you didn't care if your hay got rained on. Maybe my old memory's gone south.

Your memory is just fine.

Could we just have rain on the one wheat field please? I gotta get this hay in so's the summer fallow doesn't grow me over. :>)

My only question is how do you get it thru a 16'-18' foot gate.

I would like to have a setup like that but my 10 hay feilds are all 9 or so acers with fence and 16' or 18' gates into them.

Always enjoy your pictues, just wish you didn't remove them after a few weeks/days. It sucks looking thru the archives and finding red x's

Since I don't have to travel over a mile and a half and since it is so flat here, I kinda just watch for any traffic and hope none comes along 'cause the thing sure takes up the roadway and there is no "backing up" if I meet someone either. :>(

In that regard, it is a real pain in the southern hemisphere, but it sure covers the real estate in a hurry when yer rakin'. :>)

The darned right-throws are right at twice what you'd expect to pay for a good left-throw.
