ahhhh to be young......

1st project of the next few weeks is the roof on the workshop attached to the house... 1x2 meter asbestos cement plates to make up 1400 sq ft... Picked up future SIL and we got to the house at 10:00.. Put up a scaffolding, he grabbed the impact driver and hit the roof while the fat guy stayed on the scaffolding.... 12:45, both sides were off and in a wagon hid in the woods and I had swepped up the mess....

Ready tohave a couple cool ones and chill til the wife called for us to pick up the new steel panels and the neighbor kid's dad came by and said I'd better go pick up my hay before it gets wet...... He had cut and baled a place that I was gonna do next week.. I was hot because I was gonna have it rolled because I have no more room for small bales, but OTH I sure appreciated him doing it.... Kid says, let's go get it..... I grabbed 2 wagons from a neighbor and drove the tractor while he loaded... Got em home and covered just in time to pick up the load of steel roof (delivered to the wife's work and reloaded on there truck for me to bring home.
Truck won't fit in driveway, so hadda park around the corner and carry 40 sheets (2 roof projects) in the driveway one at a time.....
Done in time to scarf down dinner, grab a shower, and get to work at 1900..... He wanted me to pick him up at 0730 in the morning but I talked him into noon so I can sleep a little....

I'm pretty much shot now and him and the daughter are going to the disco........

Where did them days go?????

By the wayside like everything else, this is pretty much it, always work to do, home, job, friends, family, R&R comes at a premium, my problem is how many miles will be on the car and will it shake rattle and roll or run ok for its age when its time to retire ! LOL !

Had hay on the ground was going to bale it back on the ground today. Son who usually does the wagon work was on weekend vacation in Upper Pennisula. Wife offered to drive the tractor/baler/wagon if I wanted to load wagon right off the back of baler. Dumb me, I took her up on the offer. THREE wagon loads later I'm WHUPPED! Son got back as I was loading last ten bales - outside windrow. Tomorrow I gotta start mowing it --> throw 20 bales on the conveyor, crawl up in the mow, stack, repeat, repeat, repeat, I haven't bothered to to figure out how many times. That's a bit much for a 65 yr old. Weren't we supposed to retire?

If that is the same Kid with the fixin and repairin and doing all things on your tractors, you now know he is rich enough to invest in his future tractor!!! Jim.

Would I be right in saying that is a cavalier way of fooling with asbestos, what were your safety procedures,?
This stuff can guarantee you won"t get old.
