First of all, I had a great day at work... Re-stacked 3, 102 bale loads of square bales, after they fell over in the barn... 75 lbs a piece, multiplied by 306, equals somewhere around 23,000 lbs of hay I think! THAT was in a little over 3 hours! :)
Next, me an the "boss" (a good friend) get to talking about my baler, the New Holland 68. He tells me he has an old trashed NH baler in the woods, with a Wisconsin on it, and I should go "check it out". Upon doing so, it turns out to be the IDENTICAL baler to mine!!! NH 68 hayliner, with a wisconsin engine! I tell him about it, and he said "well, every farmer needs a few parts machines, so just go ahead and take that one home with you!" YES SIR! :)
Next, I come home (totally jazzed about my new baler (not home yet) and the fact that I am going to get my Farmall M tomorrow), and there is a message on the machine from a friend of a friend. Lady is 88 years old, her husband isn't doing too well, and they are moving into town she tells me. Said that they had an old tractor, and she wanted me to come look at it before the rest of the tractor club heard about it. "ok!" (I am only 10 miles away) I go check it out, and it is a 1948 John Deere M Standard, with a cute little JD Loader on it. VERY complete original tractor, and I THINK it still turns over!! She told me if I wanted it, come get it or it was going to Japan! WHOA!!!! Yes Ma'am!!!
NEXT I come home, and find hot cookies for the stealing.... Man... Life is gooder than usual today! ;)
Anyway, just had to "spread the joy" a little! Had a good one, made some cash, and got some goodies to bring home! No. 17 that little JD will be... :o
Hope ALLLLL of you had a good day!
P.S. Today, when I met Dorris (the owner of the JD) she asked me "how are you today young man!" I said what I ALWAYS say when someone asks me that "FANtastic!" :)
She chuckled, and said "well, there is always someone..." ?? I asked what she meant, and she said "In my LONG life (hehe!) I have come to realize that there are many types of people, and every time you see one of them, you either what to talk to them, or you cringe, run, and hide. Then, there are another, small, group of people, that just make you smile. I think you must be one of those people...."
Lets not forget to MAKE time to smile everyday..... Bryce
