Getting Stuck

Neil was welding down in the creek and he had loaded his welder on Bob and needed the tractor down there as well cause it was pulling the generator to run the welder, so he asked me to give him a ride home to pick up his tractor.  So I followed him down the creek hills in his red truck.  He said there is a washout on the side of the trail so try to stay out of it by keeping left but not too far left cause there is a coulee there.  great just what I wanted, well it was all going good till a chunk of the trail I was on fell into the washout and pulled the whole truck over and into the hole.  Neil was quite a ways ahead of me so I had to wait till he came back to see what was going on, he picked me up and we headed back home to get his other tractor to try to pull him out.

I took Bob back down and he took the tractor and got the back end pulled out then as Neil was going back up the hill and down another hill I got thinking I shoulda took some pics, so we are half pulled out in all them.

He took so long I also got a bunch of pics of the other stuff down there and on the way home some of the cactus as well which was blooming, so not a wasted trip getting stuck, it just took like 3 times as long to get his stuff down there.

Sunday Stills -- Commercial Vehicles

Well this Sunday is all about commercial vehicles, but since I didn't go anywhere this week I am going to use some farm vehicles that are delivery vehicles as well.  I shouldn't really use that as an excuse cause 4 miles from us is the wide load highway in Alberta and coulda gone over there to get some pics but didn't.

First off is an archive pic from March when I took Shasta to get a video of her.  Its my stock trailer.  I have to use an archive cause right now its in the shop getting new u-bolts and bearing and brakes and lights.  Will almost be like new when I get it back (hopefully this week)  This trailer has been used to haul cattle, horses as well as for moving and many many other things, its just a handy size.

Then Neil's truck and a neighbors trailer he borrowed cause it was wider than ours.  He went to Redcliff and picked up a garden shed he found on Kijiji and is gonna use it to put over our pump for the stock waterers so it is not down in a hole where is gets flooded and is awkward to work in.

And lastly is our really old 3 tonne.  Neil was giving it a good washing and tomorrow he is gonna fill it with oats and go farming.  We only farm 60 or so acres so it don't take much seed or much time, but still gotta have the equipment around.
