Yesterday I was able to borrow the truck! I called my friend Wayne and set up to visit at lunch time. He has a big farm over in Northfield and said I could come by when able, to buy some manure. He loaded up the truck using his tractor which took less than 5 minutes. Wish I could unload it that fast.
After the much slower drive home I backed it up near the garden to unload. The kids call the truck "The Beast" as I always have trouble with getting the darn thing into gear and the steering wheel locks up every time I need to start it. Frustrating.
Anthony immediately wanted to help unload, Navarre joining us later too. Love how involved the boys want to be. They are wonderful helpers!
The last 2 feet seemed to take forever! Then I decided all the grooves in the truck liner were designed by someone evil. Still we got it all clean. A quick hose off and it'll be cleaner then before.
I'm happy to have this off my list. The manure is nearly at a state where I can use it so once Spring comes around it will be perfect Black Gold.
