Well yesterday I decided to horse around with the tractor at my Mothers place. I wanted to move an old pile in the field that had some brush and bags of old material to be burnt. The field appeared to be dry until I got below the garden and dug into the pile with the FEL. This sunk the front wheels into the mud, All I could do was spin when I try'd backing up.
Well, to top it off, I had uncovered a nest of angry yellow jackets and got stung! Believe it or not just once. In my hurry to evacuate, (not that type!) I shut down the Ign., set the brake and got my shoelace caught on one of the controls as I tryed to jump off, causing me to trip.
As things appeared to quite down, I was able to push my seat forward to keep dry and said the HECK with this until another day.
I awoke this morning, knowing that we were going to see more rain and this might be my one shot for a while. I decided to pull the tractor out with my P/U truck and Grade 70 chains. I started at 7AM, hoping the bees were quite Needless to say the bees were still there but were less mad. Trying to pull a small 2305 up a hill is not a fun task on muddy terrain. The tires just spun on the truck, and getting on the tractor to operate it was not going to happen. Finally I hooked a cumalong to the tractor and spent an hour getting it away from the pile and the Yellow jackets. Took a couple of pictures for the memory and wanted to share. And now, a better day and stiil one bee sting. (and maybe a little bit smarter)
