This is kind of long, but I will try to keep it toned down a little.
I was working at a remote far that has a lot of timber, smaller fields and somewhat secluded.
The farmer was baby sitting a small cub bear that a construction company in my small town used as a mascot.
The little cuss was a real pain biting and scratching, getting into the wet cement etc.
A old guy that used to service our nail guns retired and the first day the replacement young man showed up, he was less than pleasant, and very high pressure for sales. He insisted my guns were outdated, and the air leaks weren’t worth fixing. I was busy, and told him in a few minutes I would show him where the o-rings were in his van, and how to make the simple fix.
We entered the side door with the door open, the little bear ran past the door. The guy was almost out of control stating he had just seen a baby bear. I never looked up or broke my concentration on the repair work, as I commented, yea lots of them in the timber. Then I stated, if you get near the cub bears, the old sow will bust out a windshield to get revenge, again without so much as a grin.
It was only five minutes later the dang cub jumped into the side door of the van, the guy went postal, and I kind of had forgot about my comments of the sow bear getting even. Well I joined in, started screaming, and pushed the cub bear out the door and slammed the door. In the mean time the guy had somehow got in the drivers seat by squeezing around the metal screen that keep the driver safe if involved in a head on from the shifting load.
He had that old van just screaming the tires on the damp grass, drove up to the barn, I jumped out with my nail guns, and he dug ruts in the gravel trying to get that van in a faster motion.
I called the lumber yard, and told the manager what had just happened, then asked if I should probably call his company (2 hrs away) He stated no, he is so high pressure, he would not be there very long.
I imagine the zit faced little creep is still telling everyone that a bear jumped into his van. WE HAVE NO bears in NE IA.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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.
