"Farming is such fun...." Sometimes it is far more fun than necessary. Last week my brother in law parked his truck and stock trailer in it's usual place in a flat spot on a little hill, and I don't know where his mind was, but he didn't set the brake, and he put the transmission in neutral. Minutes later he had poured himself a cup of coffee, looked out the window and his truck was gone! OOPS, BIG OOPS! Gravity at work. It took four corral fences and a power pole to stop all of that weight. They spent the next day repairing corrals and getting the power pole to stand up straight again. He'll never hear the end of it. The good part of this story is that it didn't run over any animals, and if it had rolled the other way it would have gone over a cliff.
Neighbors are shearing sheep today. Another way to have a lot of fun!
