First of all...yes...I know it! Adventure #9 should come before #10, but for some reason I forgot to post #9 before I posted #10! No biggie...here it is!
This new adventure was one of those 'on the fly' adventures...not at all planned, but an adventure none the less!
In September, two of my sons, Ross and Andrew, decided that it was time to take Grandpa Wolf (age 88) to Nevada to visit his brother, Howard (age 90). So the four of us, (I wanted to tag along!) loaded into my little 'bumble bee' and headed north. Before we left, Grandpa rounded up some cash, gave it to Ross, and designated him 'the banker' for our little trip. My Dad ALWAYS wants to pay for EVERYTHING whatever we are doing, so this time, we decided to go along with it...this trip was on HIM!
Our two days and one night with my Uncle Howard and Aunt Barbara were wonderful! They are the parents of five of my cousins, and it was fun to spend time with three of them, Joanne, Gayle and Danny, and this adventure is about 'baling hay' with Danny!
On our second day on the Wolf Ranch in Fallon, Nevada, Danny was headed out to bale some alfalfa hay that will be used to feed their cattle in the cold, winter months ahead. When I saw the big tractor and baler, I just knew that I HAD to get up in it and take it for a spin! I explained my "60 New Adventures" to Danny, and away we went!! He patiently told me about all of the 'gadgets' in the cab that would help me straddle the rows of cut alfalfa, pick it up and bale it into HUGE bales of hay, weighing almost a ton each. I loved it!!
After making a couple of rounds, we stopped our rig and got out to see how well I did! We measured the moisture content of a couple of the mammoth bales to make sure it was dry enough to be baled...it was...and to make sure I had picked up all of the hay that was in the rows...I had! Adventure #9 was a success!!
Of course, Ross and Andrew both had to take turns baling a little hay, and my Dad and Uncle had fun watching the show from their little 'gator'. It was a good day in Fallon...brothers watching their kids and grand kids 'working' on the family ranch!
My Uncle Howard, Dad, Bob, and sons, Andrew and Ross!
