Why My Job is Cooler Then Your Job

Or, el cuñado de Pablo está loco!!! But more on that in a second! It wasn't a bad day today, the nice thing about my job is that I can choose if I am tied to my desk, or I can be in my truck driving around or I can be out playing with my cows. Usually it's the weather the helps me decide! Today it was rather foggy and cool this morning so I decided to stay inside and catch up on the ol' paperwork. By lunch time the clouds had lifted and the day was improving, on it's way for the 42F high that we were supposed to be getting.

Well my calf guys Luis and Oscar, my sick-cow manager (Pablo) and my boss (Smitty) thought that lunch in Sioux City was a good idea, so we headed into the Mexican buffet place called De Anda's. I had a couple of other stops to make so we hit those as well, and made it back to the dairy around 2pm, just in time for naptime for Emma. I had told Bran before lunch that I would take Blake out and let him run around the place. Just as I stopped by the house I noticed across at the dairy that Pablo's brother-in-law (cuñado) had a little mishap with the sand wagon. See pic below! The sand wagon is used to throw sand in the little beds that the cows lay in. It holds several, several tons of sand... Well he was over on the road a bit too far and blip, over it went! We had the local "long stick" come and make everything right again. The good thing is that no one was hurt. The second good thing was that the equipment was ok. The third good thing is that my little man Blake got to watch the whole thing go down by his daddy's side, and that was so much fun!
