Worn out co-worker

[HOSS]

I had a co-worker who wanted to try a "day on the farm". To see what it is like. He is a marathon runner and in great shape. We started at 6 this morning putting in fence. 5 strand barb for starters. He got a good dose of t-post driving, fence stretching and wire clipping. Add that to tree cutting, hole digging, setting in utility pole fence posts and cementing those in. We worked until 4:30 and he said that he had never been so tired in his life. His face turned white when I told him that my normal saturday is to work from 6 am till dark doing the same work. He says farming is not for him :roll:

That's pretty funny! I think Farming is one of the best ways to stay in shape there is. I have people ask me all the time why do you work so hard. Heck, I get enjoyment out of it, plus you can sit back and look over your place when the day is done with a satisfaction second to none.

Hoss, I bet that Boy will sleep like a rock tonite...AND be sore tomorrow!

Crowder, don't forget all the money we save not having to work out at the gym!

I remember driving my first T-post

That was last year at the Belt Buckle Bonanza(a livestock show) I had to drive it through some old asphalt. 1 was enough for me, I let the boys finish the other 2 after that( we put the posts up to secure panels to so we cuold tie our calves up)

Hey what you need to do is charge them for the workout they get. There may be a money making side to this farming thing after all.

Crowder,
Feller came in to work this morning and said he was so sore the next morning that he didn't go for his morning run but took 4 advil instead

He was also complaining about chigger bites........I guess I shouldn't have sent him back to the truck via the shortcut through the hay field instead of the 2-track road

That's what he gets for showing up for farm work wearing a pair of shorts!

Yea farming and ranching is a great way to get in shape. Unfortunately for me that shape keeps getting closer to ROUND!

Most folk just don't know how to pace themselves to get thru the day.
