Men Make Me CRAZY!

Okay-not these guys...

But the rest of them are about on my last nerve! Last winter the guys that pasture cattle at my mom and step-dad's place used his tractor and hay processor. They left it a muddy mess!! We got the pleasure of washing it because when they got done feeding for the winter they just parked it in the shop. NICE!!

The hay processor...

Was filled with twine...
Okay thats a bad picture because you can't really see how big the pile of twine is.
Imagine having to sit down in this thing and cut twine out of it. Yes, those are moving parts and the blades on the sides are sharp...
Hours of labor and a lot of irritation could have been avoided if those guys weren't so damn lazy and just cleaned the twine out of it every time they fed. Would have taken them about 15 minutes extra. Whoopee-Oh...Sorry...does that cut into your coffee drinking time at the local corner store? Ughhh!!

The boys were hot and decided to get in the water tank where we were washing the equipment. They smelled bad...so they got to be real ranch dogs and ride in the back...

In the ALL the way back...

Tomorrow, we get to go to the ranch and help my brother finish putting up the temporary yard fence. He is having a cow because he thinks I made the front yard too small and wants to tear out the corner posts I already set. Give me a break...Its TEMPORARY. Ya think he would be a little more concerned that a horse could fall in the cystern by the house, but NNOOOO we have to have a fit about the size of the damn front yard. Sheez!!
And Chris went on a 4-day motorcycle trip with some friends of his. Funny, they ended up in Rapid City-only 150 miles from me. I didn't get an invite to come hang out with him for a day and his phone has been off all day(???-WTF). That means he lost it again, he is dead or he is up to something he shouldn't be. Great-like I need something else to worry about. Thanks Honey-you better be dead!!

The boys were glad to get their seats back. Red Dog wasn't too sure about being a real ranch dog, he rather prefers his captain's chair...

ROTFL!! I am still laughing! Girl, I know exactly what you mean! I think it must be in the water everywhere!
We share/have a joint feed truck with hubby's cousin. Said cousin puts out hay and throws hay twine into bed. Okay glad it is in the bed and not the pasture. (I am anal about that!) But when you get back to the farm throw it away! UGH! I agree WTF?!?! I guess women can only think of these things!
Sorry you didn't get to see Chris. Hope he isn't dead, he may wish he was when he finally talks to ya! LOL! Give him hell girl!
Still laughing! Thanks for posting this today, I needed to laugh! It has been hell the last couple of days!!!

Sometimes a good rant can do wonders, eh!
Hope next time someone borrows, they have the decency to clean up after themselves!

Those bikers get into a road trip and forget about everything but the road, the meals, and the boys' day out. Hope you have a good evening in spite of all of it, and the dogs are cute as can be!
