Free Write 2/14/13

Today is Valentines day. I wish I was cuddled up with that certain speacial someone this morning but I have to fill my brain with knowledge, oh well. Yesterday wasn't to bad of a day. I got to work about 7:45 and loaded the feed truck and headed off to go feed. Everything went smoothly until I got to one of our farms called J highway. Everything was flooded and with a ton of feed on the back I didn't think anything about being stuck. I pulled up to the feed troughs and I could feel the truck sinking just sitting there. I got the grain out and fed just fine, but when I went to turn around on the other side of the troughs well it sunk to the axle. A 1/4 ton truck with a ton of feed on the back really doesn't get around all that great. Well when I started backing up and going forward I was slowly inching my way out. After about thirty minutes of spinning and rapping a motor out in first gear I finally pulled out of the sink hole. Oh, and I burned a 1/4 tank of gas just spinning, the rooster tails of mud were going 30-40 yards. But after that the day went smoothly and it was all in all a great day.
