Boys....

Daryl made his tri-state trek in the tractor to WY. in 19 hours.
Dirk and Seth made the trip with the pickup in 8 hours and 45 minutes with their stops to play some catch and enjoy the outlooks along the way.
Daryl was able to get alot of disking done.
He also had to attend to a flat tire.
Replace a bearing.
Chat with the locals.
Dirk and Seth both had to try thier hand at farming before heading home.
So Dirk disked.
Daryl and Seth removed old fence in the moonlight.
Seth also got to drive the tractor.
A first for him.
"The Land"
We have purchased some farmland in Wyoming.
It was to be sharecropped as an investment.
Then Daryl had lots of time on his hands to think, research, do the math ,and search on ebay so he came up with a splendid idea.
WE would work the land.
So half the summer will be spent putting up hay in WY and the other half will be (catching up on sleep) at home and still doing all the loads we can get to Utah.
So we sent three men off to WY to the land.
And got three excited boys back home.
It will be an exciting summer for sure!

Thanks for the visit to my blog ... I chuckled too at the cow poop ... had no choice since I love that man and these kids so much.

Good luck with your Hay venture! .. and for the record, if you decide to sell and truck to Indiana .. let us know.
