Surplus!

    As I was driving to the field to pick rocks a young women from the two goat house was raising the hood of her car. Stopping, I asked her is she needed help, "Did you want a jump start for your car?"  "Yes, please." Ah, a damsel in distress. Using the ever present jumper cables in the truck her car soon started. All the while she was on her phone. 😀 

    An Al-ism, "Always have cables in your vehicle. Caught with a dead battery, attach the cables and wait for a good Samaritan."  An un-named family member, intending to cross Lake Michigan on the ferry, left a light on in the car. With a dead battery the cables hooked to the battery soon brought help, the car was started and.... This winter I jump started a vehicle for a nurse's aide at the OFH.

   This started out to be about picking rocks but got side tracked. Now, with hay baled on some grassland, it was time to look for rocks. That glacier, 10,000 years ago, left a surplus. Armed with only a five gallon bucket and the rod once used to stretch corn planting wire I soon found a batch. Several were too large to pry out with that rod so tomorrow I'll return with a real crowbar. 

Takk for alt,

PS Unusual for August there was moisture to the bottom of the holes.
