So what have we been up too since it has been raining?

I am still weed eating road banks and fence lines. Homer usually goes out and gets into something. The other day he came up and said I need you to help me tomorrow. He was out and found some fence down in a very rough spot and needed to take the "man tool" as he calls it. Check out this post driver he made. It's made from 6 inch pipe with the ends and handle welded on. We have to use it to set some old road sign post we got from the state road. A regular post driver won't fit over them and for some dang luck it seems to always be in the roughest spot where we have to drag this thing too. After making it over the hill I helped Homer line up the post then we both put the driver over the post. I have seen a few people grab this thing and thought you could just fling it up over your head, I have also seen a few people fall flat on their a@@ when this thing takes you over the hill. After finishing the fence we then had to double team the ManTool and carry it back up out of the hollow. I sometimes wonder why a cow would even go into some of these places, usually they don't but if we have dry weather they do sometimes wander so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Here's looking from the 4 wheeler to the bottom of the hollow. I made this trip a couple of times getting more fence and of course you always forget something. After all of these I was thinking about going to the gym and working out a couple of hours, "NOT".

I'm glad you are working on this fence. I have so much of my own to fix and hobble it's unbelievable. At least it might take the cows quite a while to find the bad spot with all the pasture. That's quite the man tool.

Is that the woman’s tool laying on the ground? I can’t tell if it’s a sledge or an ax. I would guess ax, just because I always carry one with me when fix’n fence makes quick work of vines and small brush.

Teresa, Luckily there is only one other farm close to me with cattle but they aren't herefords. So if mine do get out they aren't hard to find. As for being a gambler, this hay thing can drive you crazy if you let it. Homer has gotten so mad at the weatherman before he wanted me to call the news station and tell them he should be fired. LOL

Jim, I haven't found a tool on this farm that doesn't fit in my hands. LOL That is an ax, and it stays on the 4 wheeler at all times. I make Homer use the post driver, because the last time he used a sledge to put in a post I got the bad end of the deal. Like I said, his eye sight isn't the best so I have to steady the post so you can probably figure out the rest. LOL

You guys really need to get away more often. Seriously, I know I don't have to wish you a good time, but ... have fun.
