<p>In my case it has aged me more than is should have. I broke my
back falling off of a load of hay at 17yrs of age.... <br>
<br>
The mud here just sucks the life out of everything that crosses
it..... In 3 steps your boots are 4 inches taller. If you
wear rubber boots, it will pull them off your feet. It also will
freeze your feet if you have bad circulation. A lot of 4wd
vehicles are stuck in just 2 inches of it... You have to have
enough power to spin the mud out of the treads and enough tread to
dig down to solid footing..... It is greazy slick. I went to
shut a gate Friday evening, and one foot slipped forward on the
mud so far that I sat down on my right foot. That is the leg with
the knee that does not bend!!! I spent another hour cleaning out
the truck from my muddy clothes. Then spent the night with Ice on
my foot and my knee.....<br>

<p>Spent 7 hours on Friday getting the E110B Cat
excavator running. Our 15degree nights and 30 degree
days were too much for the summer blend fuel.. After
setting a 500K BTU torch under the engine for 2
minutes it fired up and run. Gasoline was the best
starting fluid as ether was too hot for it.... We had
a water line leak in a place that was nearly
inaccessible due to machinery, etc. Tree roots are
taking a toll on the 35yr old glue joint PVC pipe.
Noticed water leaking on Tuesday when we were trying
to get shale spread to take care of the worst mud and
wet spell ever. Finally cut the water off on
Wednesday it was just too much. Thursday was 20deg
and 40mph wind so could not do a thing. Friday was
the excavator problem. Saturday we dug out each end
of the line at the valve and where it had been
repaired last summer due to tree roots. The house was
shut off because of the way the lines were set up.
still had sheep pen water, and water to Dad's old
double wide, but not to my home. I checked the
distance on Google Earth and it showed 275 ft. I
decided to cut each end and feed a 3/4 inch Pex inside
the 1inch PVC 200psi. It had 1/4 inch difference.
Saturday I had to quit due to exhaustion when I got
the lines exposed and reconnected valves to serve the
house and separate the lines to the cattle water. Had
water in the House now. Sun morning, We ( me and my
wife) tried to such a baler twine thru the pipe with
the shop vac after sucking 10 gallons of water out.
The line would no quite go thru. Fired up the old
Ingersoll D250 compressor with the 4-53 Detroit. It
nearly had fuel gelling, but I had filled it before
starting and the fuel tank now had some Howe's
conditioner in it. Blew the remaining twine to the
end of the line!! Victory!! Then we pulled a 1/4
inch nylon rope thru the pipe. I drilled 2 sets of
holes thru the Pex pipe perpendicular and used some
baling wire to make 2 loops to hook the rope in. Then
I taped the Pex and rope with duct tape to make a
tapered end. We pulled the pipe thru with the 4
wheeler while trying to keep the 300 ft roll of Pex
from wrapping itself into a knot. Almost did it. Had
to stop and Untangle once. How it wrapped around
itself 3 times I don't know. Got pipe pulled in with
about 6 ft to spare. About 4pm had water to the
cattle tanks. Now we still have a day of back filling
and installing access manholes to the valves. <br

<p>Somehow, the cattle knocked the floats on the tanks
and water is all over the corrals this morning!!!
Life on the farm!!</p>
