And "they" say being a farmer is easy lol.
I know better..plenty of friends that farm. I guess if it does not kill you it must make you stronger!?!?

 

oo oo!! My chance to hijack a thread!! yep, we work 6 days a week during regular schedule, but when we are at a show or the NCHA Futurity, its 7 days a week for 4 weeks and the same for any other show we go to. There are no holidays in Agriculture. But, you work for yourself and can take off for family stuff and such when its needed and important....most of the time anyway.

officially

I always wanted to use that smiley

 

Lol. Yes they do. It's amazing how many people think it's just looking at cows. They miss all the other stuff. Anyways tell your boss you need a vacation and work on your truck

 

Vacation = rre....in July! Till then...Nada ..put in 10 tester day and only 8 today. Prob not going to finish the zuki or work on anything j wanna do...another weekend wasted

 

Do I need to come down there and put a boot in your rear to get you motivated?

 

It is what it is man.I'm tired. Anybody wanna buy a stack of parts? Make somebody a real good deal!

 

Just drive it here and drop it off. I'll have her ready for RRE for ya! LOL!!

 

O I understand my parts sat for a while befor I got around to it. The time will come when you are ready to tear into it, and when you do it will be game on.

 

Try a job where you have jet lag for thirty years. On call 24/7 working every combination of hours you can possibly come up with. Then only eight hours off in which 1 1/2 hours of the eight hours is after the phone rings. That leaves 6 hours after the 30 minute drive home to do family chores etc. Sleep? Forget it!! A job I wouldn't wish on anybody, even if I hated them!

 

I know you would.
The bigger issue is this... I want the journey. I actually really want to be able to say I did that. Its something I look forward to. Just have to get past this crap. Hopefully tomorrow I'm rested and can attack the zuk and get it out the door.
Talked to dad and he still needs the dodge. Guess I'll be rocking the 30mpg zuk for a while.I guess I can't argue with that.

 

Um...yea. That sounds like no fun.glad I passed on RR work when I did!!!

 

I agree with the journey. I'm stoked to tell people I rebuilt my own motor. Most say "wow and its a diesel too" lol.

 

Not that it's year round, but pushing this snow has gotten old this year. Especially with the kid and trying to get this house done. I'm drinkin my coffee letting the truck warm up right now. At least we are making money. Lol

 

I'll give you $250 for it. I'll PM you the address....

Hang in there man, it'll get better in time. At least you're making some dough. When I get bugged about my job, I have to remind myself that I'm blessed to have a good job that keeps food on the table for my family and a roof over our heads.

I know the feeling of being tired though. We had an issue last night that kept me at work from about 7:30 pm to about 2 this morning, and then I went back in today to finish cleaning it all up. Sure beats standing in the soup line though.

I know what you guys mean about agriculture never resting. I had a part and then full time job at a dairy farm growing up. I spent 7 years working there and with all the long hours and back breaking work, I still look back on those days fondly now. On a sunny day, I still look longingly at a field and wish I was behind the wheel of a tractor, mowing, raking, chopping, baling hay, working ground, or whatever. I learned more about life and hard work in those 7 years than I've learned in almost 20 since. That's an experience every young man should have.

 

Hang in there Aaron it will get better. I know the felling on the Overtime we are working a lot too.
