That's even worse! Now you have to wash it off so the manure doesn't eat away the undercarriage. Have heard corral cleaning is very toxic on undercarriage and some guys have gone to rubber tire loaders or excavators because of it.

Just be careful because people are going crazy from being in lock down! Actually I've just been talking about this with the microwave, toaster while drinking coffee and all of us agreed that things are getting bad. I didn't mention anything to the washing machine as she puts a different spin on everything. Certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant. In the end the iron calmed me down as she said everything will be fine, no situation is too pressing. The hoover was very unsympathetic... told me to just suck it up, but the fan was more optimistic and hoped it would all soon blow over!The toilet looked a bit flushed when I asked its opinion and didn’t say anything but the door knob told me to get a grip. The front door said I was unhinged and so the curtains told me to ........yes, you guessed it .....pull myself together

Pretty well just On the home place, might be splattered in Beef excrement but no one else near. Have a CV19 case somewhere in the county but no one is noting where. Still have work to complete, still have a active livestock farm to manage while as even rented out. Still have all the chores that have to be done before mountain up such as those stumps and finishing Wife's landscaping. Most materials are here on hand so have to go nowhere except as appointments require, have one of those this morning on the Hearing aids, a brief review and inspect of the devices to see if are holding up(Two year Warranty).

Remnants of Dinner, and one of my Prized possessions, Mom's Dutch Oven. She passed Dad no longer used it and none of my brothers wanted to have to deal with Cast Iron.
