The almost part was a result of guy bringing lunch every 4 hours. Each time he would take tractor for one fill up of starter fertilizer. That took an hour so I ate lunch and had a cat nap on pickup seat. He was the cow milker, so had to get on his schedule. He played out on me the last 4 hour shift, sent my brother Frank. Frank came with a 40 of Anne Bonnie Rum. Made for a warm finish with temps hovering around 28F, at around 4:30 am.
