Days 5/6

First thing yesterday morning we put the chopper back together. After which we managed to cut about 4 loads before it all flew apart again. So we worked on it again and fixed it more better. This time it stayed together. Unfortunately it took quite a bit of time and we didn't get started cutting till 12:00. About 2:00 the high pressure hydraulic line running from the hydraulic oil pump to the steering column started leaking. This caused another 30 min. delay. The around five the wheel bearings went kaput in the chopper axle we had already replaced. I think it ruined the axle. Anyway, we took the other axle off of the other rusty chopper to replace the axle that had already been replaced. We then ran steady till dark (9:00).
We have two loads left to cut. I am planning on heading to the field here in a few minuets to cut them. Later on today we are leaving for Friendship Village in Bedford, PA to camp with my wife's people. I am looking forward to this. The family is in quite an uproar. Rod's are trying to get things down before leaving for Mexico and Dad and Mom are trying to sell their house so they can move to Heralds Of Hope. It has been a very active summer and a busy fall is in the making
