This was very new to me, as I had never witnessed my husband hugging his faithful, blue steed. I stood their for a minute, or two trying to figure this out. Just as I had it figure out, I saw him surrounded in smoke.
I'm assuming he was choking (ha, he goes from hugging to choking) his tractor, somehow, to get it started since it was fairly cold this morning. He's not in the house to ask all the particulars, but that has to be it, cause shortly after, he was out discing/disking the field. And to be honest, I'm not even sure that is what he was doing!
After living on a farm/ranch for 38 years, you would think I would know all this stuff...wouldn't you?!
UPDATE: My husband just came in the house because it was snowing. Yes, we live in Idaho, where one minute the weather is fairly good and a little over an hour later...............Boom!
I asked my husband to come to the computer where I showed him what I was posting. He said, "oh, you shouldn't show those top photos because what I was doing was actually a little dangerous". My question, "then why are you doing it?"......oh, boy!
But, in answer to my question as to what he was doing in the field, he stated that he was lightly aerating the pasture because it is sod bound. Are you confused yet? I am!

Hi Marsha!
Do you know what's funny about this post? Last week, I saw my husband ding the same thing with HIS trusty steed!! And, yes, it's dangerous!! Bob told me yesterday that her needed to go out and put that, thingamajig, on the tractor and go around the field to break up the soil. Is that aerating?
Its not snowing here yet, but its suppose to at some point. I have loved all the green grass...it gives me hope 😊
It all confuses me!
Enjoy your cold, blustery day!
Hugs and Love,
Barb
Looks like a hug to me are you jealous Ha ha just kidding...Max
Hi Marsha -
Interesting post. I know next to nothing about farming, but sounds like your hubby knows what he is doing. I am so sorry we couldn't get together when you were here. Charly and I had committed to going to temple that day and we ended up doing 40 sealings for family members. It was wonderful. In the temple parking lot, we discovered a problem with the battery in the key fob to our car, so we had to take care of that so we could start our car, so I wouldn't have been able to make an afternoon meeting with you, but I am still hoping we can meet up sometime, so don't give up on me and let me know next time you are coming down here. Hopefully this summer, when I am out of school...
Have a great rest of the week.
Debbie
