Guys didn't run yesterday; rain Sat. nite and some drizzly showers yesterday. They got the beans done on Friday, so it's "only" corn left. It will still take at least a couple of weeks to get done with that, even with 2 of the ginormous JD combines and 12 row heads. I had a gal contact me about a milking job Nov. 1-7. I had been putting her off till I kind of knew what was what re: the harvest, because if the weather is even semi-fit, we're going to take off for a few days in the RV. I asked DS#1 (who operates one of the combines) if they would be done in 2 weeks, because I knew I'd get a straight answer out of him. Nope. So, I took the milking job. This is the gal that milks at 3 am-3 pm. I am gonna DIE by day 7. LOL
I have all my plants moved to the g'house and all the client's plants picked up. Well, all but one, and she has not called me back. Grrrr............
I posted this over on the Grumpy thread about my "problem" with plant pickup at a client's place on Friday..........(copied and pasted here)
Went to pick up my first plant (as in 1, singular). I have to drive about 10 miles out of the way to get it. Down a long-ish driveway, trees on both sides. Nice house on the lake. As I drove in I saw the sailboat parked way far from where it was the last time and I thought "oh, how nice, it isn't beside the garage and it's alot smaller than I remember". Went just a bit farther.........holy crap on a cracker......they STILL had the big one, it was kind of by the garage, there were a few trees on the other side of it, and then a runabout boat. That was not the game-changer.........I'd have had room to back the trailer between the garage and the sailboat (would have taken a couple of tries to get myself enough room)...............BUT..................halfway between the sailboat and garage was a wellhead. And not nearly enough room in the front of the damn thing to even think about getting backed around. I was in and out of that stupid truck so many times to check how close I was to the garage I was ready to scream. I sent several "vent-texts" to the SU..........not that he could do anything, but more to just, well, vent. FINALLY got out but I'm afraid an oak branch took the brunt of it with the trailer. I drove in there at 10:41 and I drove out at 11:07. For one freekin' plant. I told the SU "That ain't gonna happen again, I am NEVER driving down there with that trailer."
