Eventfull Tuesday! Hand shoveled 2+ yards of "free dirt" onto my trailer. Started for home 30 mi away. About 6 mi down the road swung out to avoid debris at edge of road just below crest of a hill. As I pulled back in to avoid on coming traffic inside trailer wheel hit the debris pile with a resulting big bang. Using a combination of a bottle and scissor jack got the tire changed but not before hitting upper lip on edge of the trailer as I tried to get the bottle jack piston to retract. Jack slipped and I fell forward. Staff at local resturant "China Dinah, China, Maine" provided me a bag of ice for the lip. Still swelled quite a bit (daughter's comment when I got home "You look like the mayor of Whoville!" Oh and to round out the trip just as I fdinished changing the tire it began to rain adding more weight to the already heavy clay mix dirt. Sadly the anticipated "seat time" to unload and spread the load had to be post poned.
Better day Wednesday:thumbsup: Got the wet soupy mess unloaded and spread. Had to mix in some dry onsite dirt to keep tractor from sinking in past the front wheels.
I pledge to learn to post pictures.
