    Well I turned that into a circus .
    Went and picked up my ole JD planter yesterday from a buddy I sold it too 5 years ago
    Blew a wheel bearing hub on way home , thank goodness I know the odd guy . I pulled into a guys yard i know very well and got beside his shop on nice cement pad . Got wheel off , took back to shop , cleaned out all the grease and old bearing shrapnel out of hub , got all new bearings and such , put back together but the hub got wore on one end . So jimmy rigged it so seal would set with JB weld , let sit 5 hours and got er back together and home 12 hours later .. 3 hour job 🙄
    Well went to plant corn plots this morning, all planned out before rain …. Well dam meeter chain broke in the first 100 yards , rain comin , got that fixed , JD sucks with odd size bearings and chains BTW
    Got 3 plots in , realized the planter not going in the ground on unworked canola stubble consistently enough… at all. Harrowed last fall but ground way to firm and still too much trash
    Rain comin
    Well , went and got the coulter harrow to try to work the rest of the stubble to finish plots
    Well that was no good , so had to go to plan F , Fak it , and till the whole plot and have to re plant plots , then it rained .
    Love the rain but never rush to do a job half assed ….. just a train wreck .
    Then honesty, not even kidding , after I got home , my ole dog had to be put down , she been sick a few days but at 12 years old , the vet came out and said sorry .
    Just finished burying her an hour ago .😞
    Supper glad for the rain , but a frustrating, sad day .
    When I *** things up , I *** them up good
    Thankfully for an awesome rain for this whole area though 👍👍
    I hope everyone’s day was better than mine lol

    I swear I could literally write a country song Tonight 😵*💫
    Sorry to hear about your dog. We put ours down two years ago. Still find myself looking for him when I come home sometimes.

    Best friend ever.

      We put 120 lbs N down on pea stubble in 2020. Only place it lodged was where it was triple seeded. Maybe an area the size of the air seeder. Almost triple digit yield on the wheatland. If ur growing older or taller variety, may be an issue.

        Things when fairly well this year, always takes me a while to figure how things work from the previous year but usually have everything running smoothly just before I'm finished. And I can't figure how parts break just sitting there over winter?
        I did have the hydraulic lines to the fan reversed, so the fan was running backwards. Took me a while to figure that one out and then the flow was turned down. I can see now the first rows are a bit heavy in the middle and sparse at the ends. It always amazes me that everything works out as well as it does and the stuff even comes up.
