The best pic from last week's vacation at the farm. Cousins calves he is wintering lined up at the bunk.TomSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
There is an old water trough by a pen that is no longer in use that started leaking mad water over the weekend while I was out at the cat ranch trying unsuccessfully to find pheasant. I took it apart and it looks like the "stop cap" on the end of the water pipe in the trough had split (was down in the teens at night) and was spraying water out like a fountain. It was the night before I left and I couldn't find an individual water turn off for that trough so I'm going to have to replace the cap on the pipe when I'm out there over Thanksgiving weekend. I turned the water well for the house/pens off before I left so we don't have a monster electric bill due to the pump running 24/7. My dad is currently in the middle of a 2 week long cruise and does not have cell service so I couldn't ask him what to do. How would you rank ben ji's city boy farm decision making abilities? (Important side note, there are no cows or other animals currently out there that would need access to the other non broken water troughs)
Benji, let me know if you want to kill a nice whitetail.
In my younger years, we were drilling an oil well in western KS and found an old house about a half mile away. We were slow drilling so we had some free time, but since we worked the morning tower which was 11:00 pm to 7:00 am it was dark. We had a spotlight and went into this house. The next thing that happens is I fell through the rotten floor and landed in the basement. When Tim got done laughing, he lay down flat on the floor and lowered his belt for me to grab hold of which I did and climbed out. That morning we went by the house after our shift was over and all four of us went in the house. We didn't spend much time in there because we saw a big old timber ratter crawling around in there. Needless to say, we kept the eff away from that old house.
Tom, I love the picture of the little guy sitting on your lap while riding on the tractor. Is he an official "farm dog", as it looks like he's earned it?
