Where is everyone #5

Oh heck yeah

 

Ya. This crop is in terrible condition right from the beginning. Light, ground up junk. There is going to be lots of bins going bad by summer. And when that happens guys start going in bins and getting killed. It's sad fact but true.
After falling off my trailer this summer and breaking my wrist. I started thinking how many times I've climbed bins in the middle of the night. I'm dumping hot, anywhere from 110 to 140 degrees in the bin. So the roof sweats, and drips off and freezes on anything it touches. My ladders will have an inch of ice on them all fall.
I bought a fall restraint harness finally. It takes a determined effort to take the time putting it on every time. But after having it the piece of mind is worth it.

 

Think they call it wisdom with age. Kinda like I use ta jump off my trailer deck when j was younger, now I climb down !

 

Empty in Brownwood tx. Found out I can load tommorow in Kermit if I want to load myself. Um yeah ! No rest for the weary !

 

I miss running at night.

 

I'm afraid we are gonna hear of bin accidents this year. Remember back in 09 when lots of high moisture crop got harvested and in 2010 it set the stage for record amount of entrapments and death?

You are on the right track to keeping yourself safe. I assume you will pass the farm on to your kids and we need to stay safe to do that. We are not getting any younger and when we do get hurt it takes long time to heal.

I used to do crazy stuff around here, but not anymore. Shortcuts will get you seriously injured or die.

 

@Rugerfan how are the kiddos doing? I'll bet they are growing up like weeds.

 

Wife just sent me this pic. It's old piano scrolls. That play on an old piano by air. My dear ole dad collected them. Anyone want them ?

 

They’re both growing like crazy. Both seem to have hit the terrible 2’s at the same time.

 

Cool!

Did you get moved in your new house? Before my leave of absence It was still in the process of being built I believe.
