    Hey hey now! No spoilers or jumping ahead.

    I want to hear the rest of the tale from Gran Pappy @Dale thompson

    ;)

    You need another beverage for us to get the rest of the tale? If so I got you. Don't worry it's not peanut butter flavored anything.

    Now the conversation with farmer Tom is if you don’t mind shipping short we can just go load and whatever fits is what it will be (thinking my dispatch needs a lesson) he says sounds good to him. Where is your hay at? He tells me turn right out the driveway go to next road turn right and you will see 3 hay barns turn in there. I back up 6 steps look down the road and say you mean those 3 sheds just to the right. He says yup I’m going to the store for a cold soda do you want anything?

    This is turning into a mini-series. Dang commercial breaks and all. Any moment now, some guy is gonna pop up and say he’s not a doctor, but plays one on TV.

    So I toddle up to the load shed about a mile and a quarter in less then 5 minutes farmer Tom gets there points to where he wants me. I slide the tarp to the back. Farmer Tom has a John Deere 624 with a monster clamp. He sets a 3 high stack ( bales for you non ag guys) and sure enough it’s about 6 inches too tall. ( I’m like great this POS Volvo will barely pull its shadow up a hill)
