2nd entry

Hughbert (Ethyn) overfilled the old manure hauling truck today. We've laid this truck over twice in the last two years hauling silage, so the in house joke is: the truck is like an old horse, whenever you put the darn thing to work it just lays down.

I feel pretty bad ass when I drive it though. Its an old conventional cabbed semi converted to a 20 foot tandem dump truck. The seat sits down low and the hood is way out in front of you. I drive it almost as fast as it will go (maybe 50), although I'm scared that I'll lose control because the steering is real loose. We've often thought we should apply to get it on "Trick my Truck" if they would do a silage truck episode. It'd really stand out with tall chrome stacks. ....

If you don't romanticize farming it gets real boring.
