I was on the phone leaving a message for a guy I bale hay for, and I said I could dump the bales by the elevator with my new bale basket wagon or by the door if they weren't going to put it in the loft. After I finished the message and hung up my wife asked me, "They have an elevator in their barn?". LOL, city people!!

My SIL had to have horses. My brother put up a fence for them. He had to put the wood boards on the wrong side of the fence because that was the way they had the fence when she was a kid and he had to buy barbed wire, instead of the smooth wire, because that is what they had when she was a kid. Eventually she heard enough people ask "why" that she figured out that just maybe she should trust her husband a little bit more.

First time I took her to the country (in the summer) she asked about the hay bales. I told her that they were to feed the cattle during the winter. Her reply: How come they have put them out so early?

Earlier this year I replaced the old worn out fly masks with new ones on the horses. Brother in Law comes over and asks "Why do you have their eyes covered so they can't see anything???

Mine has a problem understanding "the right tool for the job". Had to bend a little sheet metal on some downspouts in order to get them to fit together tight. She said "I can do that". She went in and got a pair of hot dog tongs and started in on it. I had to walk away 'cause I couldn't stop laughing. Handed her a pair of lineman's pliers after she wrestled with it for a while.

my mom's "baby sittter" shows up here about 7 tonight, moms at comfrance in Virginia, anyway, she got pretty scared the first time I was here when I decided to mow the lawn with the "tractor" (rear engine mower). Next time she was here I was plowiwng. She stood and watched me for about 3.5 hours to make sure "nobody got hurt" :) Time after that I was bushhoggin' and got a real long lecture on how bushhogs were dangerous. Some people. :[

She usually just sits and watches TV and eats.

Fortunatly, I married a farm girl. Love may be blind, but it doesn't have to be stupid ;)

Her friend from work however, At a party we had this past spring, I had her convinced the hardest part about picking watermelons was getting them down out of the tree after I climbed up to pick them. She spent the rest of the day walking around looking up into our trees.

Perhaps at school they taught her right. That tats are STEM tubers? No, I doubt it. Not part of the syllabus now, knowing much about organs of perennation.

Sounds like mine. I bought a new(to me) hay cutter. A jd1600. Big 14ft hydo swing(by far my biggest piece of equipment). Had it parked in plain sight for a week or two. No questions. 2 Months later, after my (step)father in law told her i bought a new cutter(thanks a lot) I got in trouble for not telling her.

I explained I was hiding nothing as I had it parked in plain sight. She said she didn't know what it was or that it was even new....

So city girl wife and a step-father in law who likes to start trouble....

My wife pulls some slick ones too.

When she's not backing into the electric gat ( 4 times now ), she offer helpfull construction advice... here's an example.

On our back pasture, i was cross fencing to make a 3ac pasture for her new mule. I had a round pen setup for it, as well as a stock water tank. I put the fence up and while I was calculating the gate she heard me talking about the 14' tube gate.. and told me no, that she just wanted a small walk thru gate. i tried to explain that we needed a big gate but she actually got a bit mad. Ok.. NO PROBLEM.. I fenced another 9' and put my posts in and went and put her 4' gate up.

Next day we went out there to take some supplies out to the leanto and when i stoppe dthe truck and started grabbing the tack and buckets she looked at me quizzically and said ' don't hand carry all that stuff, just drive over there'.. i asked her 'how?' and then pointed at the 4' gate. You could see it on her face.. it finally dawned on her that the truck ( or tractor ) could now NOT get to the back pasture.

Spent the rest of that afternoon running to lowes to get a tube gate and another post and I 'convinced' her to stay out past dark to help me put the darn thing up ....

Some people ( men included ) just don't get the farm stuff..

Sounds like my BIL (on my side of the family) who asked my wife what she thought of the amount I paid for my JD 720 tractor. She said she didn't know what I paid and so he told her and she was throughly ticked at me. I had told her several times I was selling a forklift to pay for it, just never mentioned any price since it was part of business. I told my BIL to stick to causing trouble in his family. Thanks a lot.

No, she was blond two years ago. Last year she was a redhead, this year natural brunette. In a related story, when we first moved to the country, I told my wife that if a deer runs out in front of you, hit it, not a tree. So one night we were driving down a road, me behind the wheel. A deer runs out on the road an freezes and I hit the brake hard, but not locking it up. I stopped before hitting the deer, and my wife looks at me and says, "I thought you were supposed to HIT the deer". I said "NOT IF YOU CAN STOP!!" Sheesh!

John; that is what my wife calls "double talk" She claims I do it to her all the time. Like when I said pick up a bale of sisal twine on your way out to the farm. Got there, I said where is the twine, she said they would not open a package and sell just one, wanted her to buy both, tried to explan the package was called a bale but--. The nerve of those people! LOL
