On of the fellows wrote about how we have things that seem serious at the time, when working with livestock, that are real funny years later.
An example of this would be when my current wife was first married to me, is 14 years now. It was in late fall so it was cool but not frozen yet. We had several days of heavy rain. So it was real muddy. I had a pen of replacement heifers that I had shut out of a small pasture so the ground could dry up. Well some how they got the gate open. They where having a blast running around in the mud. Making a real mess in the pasture. The walk way back to the barn was a muddy mess a foot deep with mud and manure. I tried to get the heifers back in by myself but they where having too much fun running around to go in the yard/pen. So the wife came out to help me. She had a pair of slip on rubber boots. So we get the heifers just about back in the lot. She hollers out she is stuck in the mud in the walk way. I tell her to just stay put and I would chain the gate and come back to help her out of the mud.
Well she wanted to go before I could get back to her. You have to picture this. Her standing in knee deep mud with both feet stuck. When she would try to lift her feet her boots wanted to slide of her feet. Well she got to thrashing around some and lost her balance. So I look around at her just as she stands straight up and is windmilling her arms like she is trying to fly. About then she falls flat over on her back just like those old ice tea commercials. The bad thing is she is not in the swimming pool. She is in knee deep mud and manure that was just churned up by the cattle. She hit hard enough I saw mud splash up. She even buried her head a few inches into the mud/manure. She has long hair that is almost to her waist. So lets just say she was a real sight. I was having to bit my tongue as I was helping her up and out of the mud. Mean while my Christian, never likes to cuss wife was cussing like a sailer. LMAO
So to this day we all tease her an asked her if she wants to help sort the cattle. It still brings a few cuss words. LOL
I will see the picture of her hitting that mud the rest of my life.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
