Dear all
Back on the farm and today [despite the heat wave) we received the first of several deliveries of Hay that we would store in the upper barn to allow us to get through winter.
Hay bales are sadly a little larger than acorns and the process of 'storing' requires a couple of days of carbo-loading, equivalent to that needed to run a marathon.
We assembled the conveyor belt [rather haphazardly] against the shelf in the barn and once turned on, it resembled a roller coaster from the 70's: Dangerous, with a chain liable to snap at any time from undue force.
I was in command of throwing the 200 bales from the truck and trailer to the ground at the bottom of the conveyor belt. I loved this job even in the heat and we got through it in about an hour with mum and dad arriving in the last 5 minutes and lending a hand too!
