One outta 20 ain't bad.
Been a rainy week and a half. Some days with over an inch. Our 20th anniversary plow day was looking to turn into more of a picnic. Our first wash out...
It stopped raining at noon and a few of us decided to see just how muddy it could get.
We drank a lot of coffee, shot the bull, shot it again, and listened to the rain on the metal roof. A couple big tractors. Played in one field. No pics of them chasing water out of the furrow.
At some point just before lunch, it tapered off. After lunch, Jeff decided to just see if one section was dry enough to turn dirt. I'll be darned, it was close enough for government work
One young member had worked all week to get his ready and then couldn't plow with it because of a lift spring rod that was missing from the 'complete lift assembly' he bought. We made sure he and his Friend got a few laps on other tractors.
Obviously, attendance was down and no one expected otherwise, but we had some laughs and have some new stories to tell.
Got home, wet and tired. Put it away tomorrow after the rain washes some mud off.
