After a good day...

comes the sad part at the end.

I drove to western Pennsylvania to pick up my last ram Tuesday. 

I pulled out at 6:30am and returned by 3:45pm.

Much quicker than if Covid 19 wasn't a factor.

I breezed past and through Baltimore on 695 with no issues.

I do not think I even tapped my breaks till past that area.

This was the view as I left there long lane.

Commercial sheep lazing in the beautiful spring like coolness.

The view back up their lane.

It was over 1/2 mi long at least.

The barns and house are over the ridge out of sight a couple hundred yards.

This picture doesnt begin to show how high up the hill is leading up there either.

Gosh I miss the hills and mountains.

This flat land crap in DE doesn't compare.

Someday...

Today I dodged a stupid, pointless protest to go to post office and road paving to go to the bank.

On the way home I didn't dodge the irrigation pivot that was not suppose to spray the road.

I took full advantage to clean my windshield and truck.

I sat for a full 5 min under the spray.

When I went home I called the farm office and reported it.

I said ," Your irrigation pivot isn't turning off on ******** road, I don't mind as you washed my truck but the yuppies in the developments will probably complain."

She replied, " They have already complained their cars are getting sprayed with those chemicals we are spraying".

We both laughed and said goodbye.

No matter how you try to inform the public they just refuse to believe it's water.

My neighbor calls me to ask what poison is being sprayed every flipping time the pivot turns on.

I have answered it's water so often now I just say "oh it's a toxic one".

SMH as they say...

The sad end to my Tuesday was arriving home with our new ram to find our homegrown yearling ram Jack dead in the field.

It seems he had a heart attack.

No reason or rhyme to it but incredibly sad.

Having assisted in his birth and raised him for 1 1/2 years I was attached.

He was a gentle giant.

Not a "mean ram" bone in him to this point.

I put his picture with his twin as my header photo.

He was a few weeks old in that picture.

It was a horrible way to end the good day.
