Then a quick check of all the parts and add grease and chain lube where needed[doesn't take much as I put it away greased and clean].

These here baby's can and have made many a strong man bawl in misery.  Most cantankerous thing that is mechanical. 

Set your bail tension.

I'm thinking there are probably 10 coyoyes in these 2 square miles at any time right now.

And just as I get her in field position and ready to rock and roll.

Flipping unbelievable   :argh:.  We haven't had enough rain here this year to get a cotton ball damp and this cloud comes overs and just dumps enough to make the feed damp.

So I come home to chat with a few of these.

That bailer looks about like the ones I used to use.  Haven't baled in years and don't like the memories of being in the mow with the 120+ temperature.  Most people now seem to be going to either the large round bales or rectangular bales that are about three times the size of the one I used to throw.

P.S.  At least you now know what you need to do when you need a little rain.

You got to drive the tractor?  The only time I did was when the farmer got called away and I drove and had to let the bales drop on the ground.  Then I got to throw them up onto the wagon when the farmer returned.  That was worse than bucking bales on the wagon.  But I was getting $ .75 an hour.

Slag it's an old term and you can find out for yourself.  You take a good limb and whack a hornets nest, now count how many you get with each whack [when you're done could you let us know the results please] :wo:

Damn you were rich!  I can remember asking Grandpa if I got paid to help him.  His reply "Sure do, you get to eat tonight and you have a bed to sleep in"  I did end up getting paid thirty-five cents an hour.

Is that a common color phase up there, ever see a black one?

I understand frogs are in season.

John our coyotes don't vary much in coloration at all.  40 miles south of my house they do get a bit bigger and their heads have a different build.  These coyotes when you get a big pale one will sell in the top lot at any fur auction.   Around home we get more of the "bushy" coyote.   I have never seen a color phase other than these and even the coydogs I get have this coloration.  It would be neat to see a black one but I wouldn't be able to shoot it cause I wouldn't be sure.
   Yes sir guys certain frogs are in season year round just like coyotes and some people that lump me and frogs together.  I learned a long time ago that he with the most patience usually wins a battle. :laf:

You are welcome and I think your chances of being able to hijack a thread of mine are far more remote than your chances of getting a black coyote. 

Jeb I'm sorry but something got on my mind and I forgot to nswer you :doh2:.  I'm from Alberta, Canada.  That land north of most of you that holds the odd frog.

Al I think you'll like the story :wink:.
