[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 1004399, member: 14334"] Yesterday we went and unloaded the trailer full of square bales. Went down with the truck and then unloaded that. I told hubby that we deserved to go out for lunch for our hard work, so we rang our friend and invited her to go with us. She said she didn't deserve to go with us because her husband took her out to a BBQ and she didn't turn up to help us with the hay. LOL we wouldn't take no for an answer. So we went down and picked up another load of hay with the truck. That left about 20 square bales down the paddock, but we came and had a shower and picked her up and went to lunch. It has been over a year since we have been there for a paid meal and we go to their free Christmas Party BBQ each year, so it is fitting to go there for a paid lunch when we finally get around to it. From there we dropped our friend off and went to the Supermarket and bought some stuff. Home and we took the trailer down and on picking up the 18th bale there were 5 huge rain drops on the front of the tractor. I put it in to 10th gear to get up to the shed as quickly as we could. On seeing the 19th and 20th bale on the way back, we stopped for them. Half way up we pulled off the track and hubby pushed off the broken bales. It was now just starting to spit, a tiny bit. A drop here and drop there, but the hay was so dry that it was absorbed without being noticed. Getting up to the shed I wanted to drive in forward, but nope hubby wanted me to back in which did take a couple of extra seconds to drive up away from the shed and back in. Into the shed and it started to sprinkle more on the roof. A second later it was raining and 5 seconds after that it was pouring with thunder. This morning 30 mm in the rain gauge. They only predicted 5 - 10 mm so they got that totally wrong. We haven't brought up the round bales yet and we didn't do a load this morning as we will let it dry out a bit first. A huge fog this morning and I had to take hubby to pick up a car to take to his work for a Service, so I have done some washing instead of doing the water hyacinth (all the mud caked clothes from pulling out the water hyacinth!) and have had quite a sleep today. Now I am off to help my friend whose hubby has bought a new mobile phone and they can't work out how to use it!!! [/QUOTE]
