Sam,
There's an app on your phone for podcasts. Game changer for long hauls behind the wheel.
@jameslavish
If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation

Believe it or not the only thing I listen to is the machine. Every once in awhile you detect that something isn't right. Bearing going, header not jiving right, etc.
I do however sing to myself....alot....spare you the footage! My wife has this white-noise machine supposed to drown out me snoring, it plays raindrop sounds on metal roof, seashore, or crickets and rain frogs I cant sleep with that shît on After a while, on that crickets and frogs one, I can hear someone screaming at 6 second intervals. Its faint, really far off, but I can hear it.

That farming stuff looks like hard work.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

After a day in the swather all you hear when going to sleep in the whiny hum of the hydro.

Hardest part of today has been fiddle dicking this phone and not leaving skips. This last pass looks like Ray Charles was driving!

Sam, I’m the same when running a skid steer. I want to hear what’s going on.
You know it could be worse. You could be on an excavator all day running a breaker. “Tunk, tunk, tunk.....tunk, tunk, tunk”
He went over yonder way

I like it - good honest productivity of a guy's own doing. And, plenty of time to think - the deep thoughts about heavy issues, the long thoughts that lead to plans and accomplishments, the fun thoughts about lovely people and events. Looks to me like a good day - a good life.

My first thought, The field would lay down faster if the machine were moved to the right a bit, and the header lowered.
grins, appreciate the pics and videos Sam. My little place is so chopped up and hilly, I have to open six fields and spend 8 hrs to cut ten acres with a 14 foot John Deere swather. But I don't have to worry about getting bored.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

You know it could be worse. You could be on an excavator all day running a breaker. “Tunk, tunk, tunk.....tunk, tunk, tunk” Heeler, I couldn't do it. Do not put me in a back hoe, it'll get ugly in a hurry! Guess I could handle a breaker....maybe... SC, I hear you. Rinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg all day long. CCCC, it is funny what a guy will start thinking about. Sometimes you kinda go into a conscious dream. As for the work, I love to see bales on the ground. A big haystack is a good thing to have going into winter. LJ, I don't know about this movie star stuff.... Jim, didn't someone write a song about that? Speaking of the green, it is up there. Just barely hanging on though. Breezy this afternoon but I wasn't overly worried about starting a fire. (knock on wood) Idaho, hell all we use is that NH 2450 with a 14' header. Great machine, perfect for the irrigated river bottom stuff buy undersized for the thinner dryland hay. Lot's of guys in the hills are running +20' drapers with bigger tires and better suspensions. We need to buy a bigger swather for the hills and keep the smaller one for the heavy alfalfa. Gunner, I like it! Back in the shelter now though. Woman and the dogs are good too.... Doc, give me a minute to ponder that.... Hmmmmm.
