Well, today marks the first day that I can say I am beat! I even considered not writing today. About sixty trucks came through today with a total of 1,337 lbs of silage. Add to that the fact that it was HOT! Whew. I'm tired recalling it.
Friend(s) of the day award goes to my favorite trio who brought me a scrumptious s' mores blizzard. You know who you are and I'm thankful for you!

I need to catch up with my photos before I compose any other tales or else I fear I will get buried alive by all the pictures.  Figuratively speaking, of course. I may, literally,  get buried one day by corn silage but not yet.

Onto the photos...

This is The Weigh Shack... I live here half of the day. My blue chair is constantly chasing The Shack's shadow. 

This is the scale and printer... I put the tickets here are it prints the weight of the truck when I push the button. 

This is inside... my side of the office. Mr.Bossman and his associates use a desk behind me. (Mine is waayyyy cleaner.)

We started a new pit yesterday. This is pit 6. Silage gets dumped in the pit. This is where I come to get dry mattrr samples. 

This is pit 5. The silage has been packed and covered for safe keeping. 

Truck 855 made this for me on Wednesday.  I stick the ticket in the end so they can reach it. Genius!! Everyone loves it. Today, one of the guys who feeds cows locked his keys in his truck and used my stick to get into it. Very versatile.  

God is the best painter. 

Proper pickup truck owners put their muddy rainboots between the bed and cab for safe keeping. The rain also cleans them for free this way. 

Speaking of rain... check that out. It gets kinda intense sometimes.  

I DROVE THIS!! Up and down the mountain! It packs the silage. 

These next 5 photos were taken on the peak of mount silage #5. The show you how pretty it is at the farm in all directions.  

I got a shot of Jack the lizard today. His wife Loraine is much more shy. 

I also learned today how to get under the truck scale! So we'll see where that takes us...
