I have been getting my Hay Machinery greased up, sharpened up, and hooked up..
I still have some Radiators to blow out and string in the Hay Bailer. I bought 12 bales of string for $48/ bale yesterday from a neighbor who bought a whole pallet.
I know things won't go smooth, because it's Farm Equipment and Stuff Happens. I hope for the Best and not get injured.

I believe you have hay fever ;) I have not one but two tractor tires that have little side splits and I need a tire repair man but they are like finding hens teeth around here.
All I would need is a pump to pull out the old calcium and pump it back in.
I have looked for one, but I cannot find anything that is cheap.

My raised bed taters didn’t seem to mind the frost but I don’t think it was as bad down here on the far western end of the state.

They’re really kicking butt now, starting to flower.

Doing a lot if cussing. Putting a fence up by yourself is a helluva lot harder than with 2 people. 1 side done. Long side done fell down on me 3 timed where I gotta walk back down and stand it up again. Got a come along on it pretty tight right now though. Should be done on this side in a hour or so

Handling a 330 foot roll of goat fencing manually is no fun, especially trying to roll it uphill

Was on my feet too darned much this morning and am paying for it now... Only cleared to walk 10.mimutes or so at a time for now & was outside helping hubby ID plants in our landscaping for over an hour. Not necessarily WALKING but on my feet and moving around. Hurtin' now.... Riding to & from Lville yesterday to see The Kid probably didn't help any. Those potholes on the Gene Snyder are hell when all the stitches in your gut are still healing!!

Cutting a little hay down, going to finish another 10 acres in the morning.
Soon as I pulled in the field I had a Flat tire. I had to go switch equipment and use the John Deere which was already hooked to the Bailer...
I DO have "Hay Fever" as @bigbonner said but this large field has a lot of Bluegrass (volunteer) and it will lose the heads in a few days. Some of it is waist high....didn't know it got that tall.
Other fields are Not Ready.
