Other than the tooth (OWW!) it sounds like a typical day in the country. City folks don't realize just how much work it takes to get food on their tables!

LOL my wife thought the tractor was a stupid idea till we got one. The 4-way bucket is ALL WIN! You can pick up logs and small trees

Here ya go Q4 !

ohhhhh .... that Looks GOOD!



Oh crap OS- you reminded me, its past time to give the mid day water to all the hogs. LOL guess I wont be sitting for a while. sad thing is- I have done very little home wise today- I have been trying to get everything together for shooting tonight. and just putting out the normal fires that arise with a farm.

DDog the tractor makes my life ALOT easier- my husband is strong, he can pick up anything. My max is a 65lb bale of hay for about 100 yards. LOL so, I use it alot- And since we buy feed by the 1/2 ton bag, it is a must. I especially like it for digging postholes, and moving trees and stuff like that

Clay, so far it isnt really hurting, its just ... gone and feels funny- But I fiqure if I let my Blood pressure get up too high dealing with these devils spawn, then it will start hurting sooner rather than later... LOL

We so need a Bobcat here....
The little Bolens just isnt enough...
Q4- what a woman!

 

[oldsoldier]

a swamp cooler float on a stock tank can solve the mid day watering problem...

 

[quittin4mykids]

I just wish I did have a stock tank for the hogs- but we havent found a feasable fix. they have very large tanks, but its a waller/watering tank, adn so we refill them a few times a day when its in the hundreds out there- The horses and goat, I never worry about- they have water tanks with floats.

 

[oldsoldier]

yeah I understand the situation. I never had hogs but my neighbor did. I welded up a guard for a float and attached it to the hog troughs. The first attempt wasn't well thought out and the hogs destroyed the float and flooded the pens LMAO!

Ok, just got back from the interview. It's a start up company that purchased part of Kodak that I know a bit about. They have no clue exactly how everything is going to work so they are looking for people who know what needs to be done and help put processes in place. After 12 years with Kodak doing what the new company is trying to set up I might just have a few ideas I'll know in about 10 days. The manager who needs to approve everything is on vacation all next week. Sounds like this could be a lot of fun, or a major headache, but most likely a combination of both.

 

[markfm]

That sounds like all any of us can ask for -- hope it works out

 

[classwife]

Carrie ! I hope you get it and that it is something you will love !

 

[CarrieM]

Thanks Mark and Classy, It's something I know a lot about and being able to help develop how things are done, instead of having everything dictated to me sounds like a lot more fun. Makes me a part of a team instead of a worker drone.

 

[keyzygirl]

Sounds Great Carrie!!

 

[CarrieM]

The lady that interviewed my made it pretty clear they don't know what they are doing, so I tried to emphasize a bit about doing the same work for 10+ years and that as a team new processes should be able to be developed rather quickly. There are at least 4 of us that were interviewed that have done that job. So if they hire a couple of us, we should have them up and running pretty quickly lol

 

[oldsoldier]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Carrie!

 

[CarrieM]

Thanks Sarge

 

[oldsoldier]

Don't thank me too fast - i found that it is really hard to type with crossed fingers... But I'll definitely keep sending positive thoughts
