Bought a real heater

It was done in the hottest part of summer and you had to wear long sleeves to keep your arms from getting all scratched up.  It was ball busting work and it took a whole crew.

Now one guy with a tractor can bale a field and then take in the huge round rolls without ever even getting out of his seat.

I did hay a few days of my life..Never did it again.. LOL
Anyone ever work on a trash truck back before wheeled trash cans? Back when everyone had steel cans and everyone threw away bricks every week? That was no goddamned fun..
