Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How was your day?

Started setting fence posts for a garden on a job, moved a bunch of dirt from back to front at home. Hauled two dump truck loads of black soil home for planting beds. Nice productive day. Supposed to get hot starting tomorrow.

Got a call around 7:30 this AM from the New Mexico Dept of Agriculture.
The weights and measures (scale) guy was in the area, and wanted to test my cattle scales.
Kinda tore up my schedule - threw a quick charge on the electronic scale head, and met him out at the ranch.
He tested that scale, and another - about 6 miles away - and passed them both.
The whole time we were moving weights on and off the truck - the wind was sustained 30 - 40 mph - with gusts up from there.
Brutal. By the time I got back home, I felt that I'd taken a beating. Ears even hurt from the rattling hearing aids!
Dry son-of-a-gun. they put out a fire, east of us ~ 30 miles - very near 23,000 acres.

Glad most had a better day!
