Hotter than haides and humid today, for this part of the country, after the multiple, un-predicted thunder storms and hail yesterday. But our hay-moving crew was working. You can tell the young ones . . . . would rather get up and move at 9:00 AM rather than 6:00 AM when the forecast is for HOT. That said, the old guy truck driver and 3 young guys got 10 ton delivered and stacked in the barn today . . . . had elevators along, everything they needed. But what totally amazed me . . . . They got a big, newer sleeper cab semi, with a 40 ft. trailer backed into a space that I have to twist my brain with on a 16-footer. Got that big Bertha in on a curve through a 14 or 16 ft. gate, and backed through to a 10 ft. gate into the barn. Truck driver, 3 younger tough guys, 10 miles pick-up to delivery, 100 degree heat, stacked in the barn -- $375. I'm sure I underpaid. It was their price, not mine.
