What if it Snows?

Authorities investigate a worker’s death inside a grain bin in Dallas County, Mo.
guess where I am… not getting unloaded today. 15 of us here after guy died in grain bin.

 

Nice load. If in FL in the day. grapefruit, 90 pounds per box. Inconsistent 7 wide 8 hi stacks, box about 3 ft long, you estimate his trailer length.
How much has he got on? Use 57 boxes to the stack, and 3 feet long, say (53 footer) for 17 stacks. So possible 57 x 17= 969 at 90 lbs = 87,210.
Man don't want to make a second load apparently...
$2.00 a box, Lakeland to Minneapolis in 56. On to Hillsboro, ND and $3.00 a sack on seed potatoes back to Natchez. Rates,?? /But fuel < .35 gal.

 

Granddaughters at Clay, NY (Syracuse) 45" then, more since.

 

Recently a country music gal (not star, yet) said;

Those things on a violin are called "strings".
Those things on a fiddle are called "strangs".

 

That sucks all around

 

Condolences to any kin left behind.
I cannot begin to understand why any man would go into a bin without a harness, rope, and two (2) good men handling it.
When it is over , it is /was never worth the need thought to be at the time.

Was around them inside seedhouse ops in West Point, MS in teen years and silos (filling and feeding). Respected and still alive.

 

That’s a 42’ trailer max…. Maybe 40’

 

Need to do something with this. Just laid em on the ground last fall. Minimum effort and expense preferred.

 

Took mom to dentist today. She was in there for hour and a half.
Going to Little Austin tomorrow with sister for another dentist visit.
