First it it blazing hot and does not rain for a month, then we get over 2" of rain in 30 minutes,
washed out the driveway, I have a box scrape that i use but I have too much gravel on the sides that I have to pull back down on the driveway, the old shovel and rake don't cut it, so, I went and bought a 5 ft scrape blade that I can change the angle on, spent the last 4 hours, going to get the blade, getting the tractor started, and scraping the driveway, and now the bottom fell out again, I am sure we will get another inch or so before it stops...And I will be scraping the drivway again..

I was supposed to be working on the gyro!

Use a larger gravel. A bed of clay works to hold the gravel. Mine too has washed.

Welcome to the farm life! Ha. Way to get the equipment to fix it.

At least you didn't have a cow hit by lightening. I had to rent a backhoe.

Still...it improves my local image. One of my neighbors saw the new mound in my pasture and asked if I had caught someone else trying to break into the tool shed in my barn.....

I never knew how much I needed a tractor, untill I bought one! I sold the harley and bought a Massey Ferguson... LOL.

Jon that is not a bad image to have, keep the rumors going.

Oh man, that sounds terrible Jon... Can't even imagine what a mess that was.

We get a lot of lightening hits. I heard that nearby Berry College lost 21 cows to lightening so far this year. They run dairy and beef operations as part of their agricultural studies.

It is prolly really aliens zapping them? Like on the movie 'Mars attacks'
