[QUOTE="Shari, post: 424849, member: 1848"] Oh, he told the counselor he is just always so busy... Rarely gets by with "just" 40 hours a week. The first time we went? He was working longer days. It lasted 2 weeks. Before then, and now, he works 40 hours. And then he made the "the farm takes so much time, always checking the livestock" blah blah blah. You know what? Last year, all calves hit the ground and were days old before he knew they were there (and I was the one that found them - yet this is "his" job). The mean cow? He had no idea she'd had her calf this year or was even close to it. We have a cow now that appears to be 2 weeks overdue. he hasn't checked on her in 8 days. Last year, her calf was probably a month old before we saw it, and he thought she hadn't had it yet, so its entirely possible in this case, too. If the livestock is in the small lot locked up and need hay put out with the tractor? he checks them. If they are out on pasture and require opening and closing multiple gates to get to them and running around to locate them and it takes more than 5 minutes? This is what he does. He is NOT busy. If you can[I] average 4-6 hours of tv per day, [/I]you're not busy. He sees his parents' cows FAR more than our own. He fixed the a-arm on his truck yesterday. But the axle was also broke and he gave up at that point, so its at the mechanic. Mechanic just called and it needs ball joints now, too. He said they are shot. And they weren't even loose 4 months ago when it passed inspection. It would appear chasing that horse with this truck is going to end up costing about $400. [/QUOTE]
