Skid Steer Leak

After church yesterday we all went to mom's where Mark grilled hamburgers for a fathers day dinner. We stopped off at the farm and noticed muddy skid steer tracks all over the nice clean gravel and realized Ralph must have used the skid steer to clean out his paddock. On Saturday I spent an hour power washing the machine until it was spotless (almost) and getting filthy in the process which made me want to check to see if it had been cleaned and what a nice surprise to see that Ralph had power washed it when he stopped using it. We met Ralph coming from the barn as we were going in to care for Samantha and he gave us the bad news that we had a huge hydraulic leak, he cleaned off the skid steer to try to find the leak but wasn't able to see where it was coming from. It may have to be hauled in AGAIN for repair.
Right now another huge storm is moving in, almost continues thunder in the background and the sky which had started to lighten is pitch black. The rain drops slamming into the windows are like bullets. At least the rain will clean the manure off the gravel.
