Our friend baled my hay today. I got 4 round bales off my front field and 14 bales off my neighbor down the road. My neighbor is 1/4 mile west of me on a 45 MPH road. I have a blind hill about 100 yds to the east of me. So for the last 23 yrs when I'm going west I always drive down the left side of the road so I won't get hit from the idiots going too fast over the blind hill. It has saved my ass several times over the years.
When on the tractor I do the same left side for about 500 yds and I'll be damn 50% of the drivers come over the hill and have no idea what to do. I'm on the wrong side of the road and they are on their right side I try to wave them past and some get the idea and some don't.
When I leave the neighbors drive to go home I can see 3/4 mile and if no cars coming I go in 6th gear about 23 MPH. And wouldn't you know it out of 14 runs I had 3 cars behind me before I get the 1/4 mile. One guy in a junk pickup is blowing his horn for me to get out of the way as he was smart enough not cross the double yellow line. OH well I'm done for another year.
Ranting over until next year.
