I'm only 51, and have never worked as hard as either neighbor, just ask them!
This was the first year I ever hired some menial task performed other than hay making help. I just didn't have time or the energy to get the job done, and actually sat in the house one evening while the neighbor kid worked at it.
We are gearing up for a refueling outage at work, so there are several hundred contract workers on site. Each brings in their own strain of cold, flu, ebola, henta virus, leprocy, you name it. I started to feel a case of the Contractor Croup coming on Wednesday night already, but it hit hard yesterday. Not quite the flu, as I still had a great appetite, but fever, congestion, aches and a cough that wakes the whole house up.
Went out to feed the cows, and since we had gotten 0.3 inches of rain in the overnight, I figured to hit the rainy day list. First job was a new roll pin in the drive sprocket of the hay elevator in the peak of the barn. Despite only being high 70's, the humidity was definitely up here. I think five full trips up and down the loft onto the elevator and I had it done, about two hours. Soaked in sweat down to my pants. I showered and turned on the A/C in the house. Sat there not sleeping, coughing and not watching college football until 0400 this morning, alternating sweats and chills.
Now, gotta get after it today. And rrlund can tell you how well Sunday work usually turns out...

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
