So the last few days have been really, really bad. We're trying to get the second cutting of hay done and things just seem to keep breaking down. First, we couldn't get a really thick grass/alfalfa field to dry out, then we couldn't get any dew on a different alfalfa field. Finally things looked good, but the parts we ordered for the rake we're the wrong ones (not our mistake though). We were able to borrow a rake for a day and things looked up again. We got our rake fixed with the right parts, only to have it brake down again ... this time badly. Spent Sunday working on the rake, got the bearings pulled and put into a different piece only to have the part break on the last bearing unit ... ugh! Finally after starting at 1:30 AM this morning, things looked good again. Only have about 13 rows left to bale in the alfalfa field and BOOM, the freaking front axle broke. Yup, broke! So instead of getting a little sleep today, I'll be back working on equipment. {sigh}
Not like things weren't bad enough, Saturday night Ruger's brother Remington (the new pups) was diagnosed with Parvo, so now we're on Parvo watch with all the dogs. Thankfully Remington is already back at home with the Beebe's, but I'm still worried about my little guy ... only time will tell.
The Moxee Hop Festival went really well. There were lot's of people and we had a good time (up until taking the dog to the emergency vet clinic at 7:00 PM Saturday night). I spent an hour in the dunk tank as a fundraiser for Wellness House and it sounds like they made a few hundred dollars over the course of the day.
