Had a good (but looooooong) day.... SWMBO says "I want to drive"... She can't do high bridges, so no autobahn driving. Beautiful cross country drive, but not when you start at 0230... Get about halfway into it and hit a detour and construction and the "I wanna drive flame started flickering"
I don't do oncoming traffic lights real well in the first place and the construction sites made things worse but we made it to luxembourg cemetery parking lot at 0830 (twice the time and stress (for me) of an autobon drive, but we made it. We were the only car in the lot 30 minutes before the gate opened and the director sent a guy out to get us. Gave us coffee and gave us a map to a couple particular graves a verbal tour before turning us loose. SWMBO took about a gazillion pictures and we were on our way to the airport 3 miles away to pick up the new boss...
That made the whole morning worthwhile. Stars musta been lined up right or sumpin... 30 minutes from signing in, we had been thru security/metal detectors, paperwork, loaded and back on the road.
Bought this little guy on a gut feeling and a few pics and are reel happy. He's a weanling that was seperated from his mom and started his trip to us 2 weeks later. Handled the whole thing like a champ. Walked on the trailer like he'd been doing it all his life and the autobahn trip never fased him. He is as big as our two yearlings also. No pics yet, but I'm sure tomorrow will see about a gazillion.
Here is a link to the cemetery pics if anyone is interested. The link says facebook, but you don't need an account.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
