Kyle's Saga Continues

So he fell in the sink hole last week.

Then on Tuesday he came home for his
DOT physical for his CDL license
and had a flat tire in Linda's truck on the way
back up to the ranch.
Drove back here (he was 1.5 hours away so
less than half...), swapped for his truck
and drove back to the ranch.
LONG day.

Yesterday the bearings in his disker froze up.

He spent the afternoon finding, buying and

fixing that.

Got it all fixed and this morning he 

FINALLY finished the big 33 acre pasture.

He had to stay up at the ranch this weekend

because the concrete guys were coming

this morning to form so they can pour

the concrete floor in his building.

So... he decided to go across the street

and get the new 20 acre parcel they just bought

mowed so he can start plowing it and 

getting it ready for seeding.

On his first lap he brushed up against

a tree and must have hit the perfect

"sweet spot" because a branch hit his

exhaust stack, whipped around and

broke his windshield.

Into a hundred gazillion pieces.

And it's Saturday.

So all the tractor places are closed.

But meanwhile, his big flatbed trailer

is here at our farm.

He's going to need that to haul his

tractor into wherever he's getting it fixed.

So it looks like another trip south.

Guess I'll make another batch of

blueberry ice cream.

Poor guy.

At least he has a big new building with a 

roof that he can park under.

(And they told him today he has to bring

in $800 worth of fill dirt to bring the

floor up / level before they can pour

the concrete, so he doesn't care if the glass

gets on the ground there.

They are just going to cover it with dirt

and then concrete...)

Always looking for the silver lining.

UPDATE:
Kyle drove home Saturday afternoon, getting
here about 6. Earlier in the week Linda ran her
diesel mule (side-by-side ATV) out of fuel, so
he stopped at her farm first and got that fixed.

Then he headed here and we had BBQ steaks,
onions, veggies and fresh blueberry ice cream
for dinner and then we all headed to bed.

This morning he got his big trailer and hooked
it up to his truck and headed back to the ranch.
Just as Rod was leaving church (I had to stay to
do a Needs Analysis on a ward member), Kyle texted
to say he had a flat on his trailer.
Luckily he was all the way up at Ocala,
was able to pull into a Lowe's parking lot
and get the tire changed.
He is now safely back at his ranch.

GOOD GRIEF!
I'm pretty sure he would appreciate being
remembered in your prayers.
And he'll be glad when May is in the books.
