OOPSIE WITH THE FARM TRUCK

So this happened...


A couple of weeks ago, after a heavy rain but a few days of drying, I thought I would take the truck over to the garage to load some things into it.  I started to drive away and the back end started spinning in place.

I got out and looked and oops!


Yeah, that's kinda stuck.  We had another overnight rain shower and...


...it sank a little deeper!  A few days later, it was dry again (or so I thought) and I decided to see if I could move it out of the hole.


Big mistake, THAT only made things worse!

With a week long stretch of rain in the forecast, we needed to get it moved.  "J" recommended we call her ex to come help since he has a BIG truck but we didn't want to bother him and would rather "save" that card for maybe something else, ha (in case I get the mower stuck or something).  So, yesterday we called a local wrecker company to do a winch out and about 2 minutes after they got here...


It was back on dry land, the driveway, ha.  They were awesome by the way, and right after they left, I moved the truck... 


...to the driveway!  It will stay there through this rainy stretch we are about to have.


Good timing because this was about 2 hours after they left.  Rains are coming!

Bill the Farm Truck had an adventure (against his will, ha) and will need a bath, though the rains might help with that, ha.  For now, he is safe and sound on concrete.
