Getting Hay, 2012

Usually this is an adventure. Yes, Monday was fun bc my DD helped me by tying down and driving the other (newer, 2007 Dodge Cummins Full ton doolie) truck. We also had to find the right route there--THAT was an adventure. But we're having a terrible drought this year and hay is scarce. I found a new supplier. The hay is really good, nice 50-60 pound bales and he's willing to sell me what I need for this winter. ANYWAY, my great Christmas camera (Nikon COOLPIX S6200)is along this year to document. I packed the usual 35 bales on my 1993 Dodge 3/4 ton Cummins. The tires wells won't allow 4 across the middle, so the bottom row has 11, then the next 2 rows have 12 bales of hay. UNfortunately, I didn't tie them down well enough, and lost 2 bales on the way home. THAT won't happen with the next trip!! This is where you start, 07-16-12"> 1/2-way done... 1/2-way done, Duck Truck, 07-16-12"> The other truck Truck #2 Load, 07-16-12"> carried 40 bales. Now, to prep the loft...
