things to do to stay awake on the drill

Does Hursh actually drive a tractor, I guess he does. Maybe the topic should be how to sleep on the drill. hehe

I bet after the fire was out you thought "why did I put that out".
Did you get the latest round of snow?

Trying to find a spot on your motor hot enough to light a cigarette is always fun.

Rained near Kenosee Lake region last night, maybe 1/10th, and is dreary looking outside this morning, but a perky rejuventing arousal for the soil. Pars

Add up how much money we are spending/hr or $/day - Kinda scary!
ex: 320ac/day @ $125/ac = $40,000/day or well over $3000/hr. Oh man I hope it warms up soon. When you add up all the acres seeded already and the money spent in Western Canada to date it would be almost mind boggling to know how much is at risk from dampning off, freezing, ect. On the bright side it looks to straighten out by Friday.
One big farmer in our district is seeding about 2000 - 2500ac/day - 5 74ft drills, when they can go 20-24hrs/day. Makes my numbers look small!

Add one more to the list of auto steer and not paying attention to details. Yesterday, the neighbour managed to stop his tractor as a suspended well casing pipe just touched his drawbar. The casing sheared his connecting fuel tanks hose line, draining the just filled contents. Two inches higher and bye bye oil pan, not to mention the extreme luck that the well wasn't pressured up.

Actually relighting had crossed my mind.
