Mowing Adventures

Such a beautiful day for mowing. The Kabota was picked up after the walk and driven back so the fields could be mowed. My phone was in a shallow pocket where it could fall out too easy, so it was placed inside my shirt, Beth showed us where a phone is always safe and if you want to know where that is, ask HER, then the tractor started. This Kabota runs hot meaning a close watch needs to be kept on the gauges. About 6 rounds into the first field, the tractor seemed to be getting too hot, it was turned off and let sit for an hour. The radiator was filled back up and this time I was able to finish the first field. It was also running low on diesel fuel and starting to warm up on the second field. All of a sudden an alarm started going off, panic set in and quickly the machine was turned off. The gauges checked and still the sound of ringing filled my ears. Finally figured out it was my phone which I completely forgot was in my shirt. Once the diesel fuel was purchased and 5 gallons put in the Kabota along with water in the radiator it only took 3 more times of letting it sit to cool before finishing. Spark and Jay came over to take it back, they needed to move a railroad tie. Once the field was finished, the boys were allowed out of their paddock into the first field. They ran and bucked about 3 laps, settled down to graze, then took off running again. After they had settled down the second time, I went in to eat lunch, came out 15 minutes later and both boys were gone. Had to start calling their names loudly and they come running from the cabin field neighing all the way, run to the gate opposite the cabin lane and ask to be let in. Once that gate was opened, they ran straight into their own paddock. Until we find where they got out they must stay put.
A gentle rain started falling around 5:00pm, Sanna's filly was having a blast running out into the ran, whipping around and barreling back into the arena. Too bad Sangria isn't here with her filly, she needs someone to play with.
A vet appointment was made June 27th for sonagrams for Eliza, Airiah, Kay's mare and perhaps Kim's mare.
