Great story!
The man who mows our hay is 71 years old. His mower tractor is not air-conditioned. He will mow 7 hours straight and in his overalls he always has a bottle of water! His baling tractor has A/C, but he’ll work like a 20 year old, which has to happen many times with rain is forecast. Also, his mowing is amazing. He does not miss much and leaves a pretty pasture setting until it grows again! Sometimes he will go home for dinner around 6:30 pm and then come back and mow with lights!! We live on a hilltop so it’s fun to watch them mowing other pastures at night! They make round bales so there is no people hauling! God Bless Haymakers!!....for the rib-eye’s tonight and baked potatoes I am very appreciative!!
Love them rib eyes...
Gotta be over charcoal or wood, though. Gas doesn’t work best with a rib eye.
Gas is great with one of those Texas flat irons, though. It’s become one of my favorite steaks.
And global warming is causing deadly pesticides, too.
AAAHH; remember those good old days well, that’s why I joined the Marine Corps at 18 years old, I wanted an easier job.
