another job, less disgusting, but harder work, delivering blue seal grain for the local hardware store.
Delivering wasn't too bad. Load the econoline and drive it out to area farms. Eventually I got my license and could do some of the delivering myself.
What killed you though was when they got a delivery in.
Tractor trailer would back up to the loading dock, and a handful of us kids would unload the whole thing - by HAND. To this day I don't understand why we had to do it like that. I guess the owner was too cheap for a pallet jack - or even a hand cart. I was too young to question things like that - I just did what I was told. And what I was told was to take all these bags here - and put them in the warehouse over there... 100 pound bags. Run with it - stack it - run back for the next one.
I'll have to watch my language when I type about how much fun it was in the winter when the sweet feeds were frozen solid.
Those trailers sure do hold a LOT of grain when you're unloading one bag at a time.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
