Manure pit at a feed yard?

 

Yea I bet that soup pit smells great in the summer time

 

Oh no even better. You ever take a crap in a small town in northwest Iowa?

 

Not up there, but that means it's a few levels up in the manure pit hierarchy.

 

When I worked at the prison we loaned out inmates to surrounding towns for labor. Our town brought their guys back early one day and one of em was covered in mud. He knew me well enough to stand back when he told me he fell in the "pond." There's only one body of water in town. The town maintenance guy was laughing his ### off so I believed it. Told the inmate I didn't care what he was trying to sneak in, he wins, now go take a shower, bag up those clothes and toss em, them I took him to laundry and got him a new set. He didn't smell right for a few days.

 

I worked at a maximum security penitentiary when I was 17-18 years old. Just for 12 weeks. Some of the cells had plexi-glass on the cell doors. And some of the ranges had plexi-glass guard huts. The reason was that inmates would crap in a bowl for a week just to throw it at the guards when they got a chance. Gross

Watched the riot squad go running into a range one day (behind locked door), then watched them 5 minutes later run back where they came from. Guessing that wasn't a win.

Up here we have "commisionaires", no weapons, just retired guys wanting to stay busy working at prisons. Picture being 17 and being sent out to get a tool from the truck, next to prisoners, with just a 65 year old dude with a radio for backup. Not very comforting.

 

I've done it, never ran down the road that way because I do a walk around talking to myself checking things but I have hung them upside down.

 

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic looking through old pictures. I don't do much farm work anymore, just haul pigs. I miss the farm work and all the different things we did. Here's my truck after taking the pusher axle off and getting ready to blast and paint frame. Big tractor in the background missing front axle

this one might make a few of you upset I dunno. Moved this about 4 miles through Sioux city. Had all my permits but needed a pole car. Tank was 12 ft round so I was over 15ft. Me and guy I was working with ran the route at 3am with a piece of PVC pipe 16ft tall and checked every stop light or power line. He'd stop the pickup I'd jump out and grab the flimsy PVC and try to hit the lines. Think I moved 4 of those tanks. new pump tractor, couple guys that helped that year smoked and would open all the doors and windows and smoke while they loaded the tank, I cussed them for leaving them open many times but they always did anyway, then the very first day we had it, a hose broke all the windows and doors open manure was literally running out of that brand new tractor.
last picture I promise. Trying to decide which tires to run for the tractor pull

 

Awesome

 

We don't have tractor pulls anymore. At least not like you guys in the Midwest That'd be a lot of fun tho.
