Laws of Harvest

1. A 20% chance of rain means it WILL rain.  The rest of the year a 70% chance means it's unlikely, but during harvest......

2. If it can break down, it probably will.

3. If you blow a tire, the tire shop will be out of the size you need.

4. Don't plan on getting anywhere quickly.  Every road, trail, and highway are filled with moving, hauling, and cutting equipment (all of which can squish a normal sized vehicle like a tin can and not even notice).

5. Do not plan on seeing your husband except early morning and late night.

6. Do not plan on eating supper before 10:00 pm.

7.  When you're sent to look for a part, take it with you-much easier to explain the thing-a-ma-bob you need when you have it in hand and the salesman doesn't look at you like you're a nin-com-poop.

8.  Buy LOTS of allergy medicine.

9.  Never try to plan a vacation around harvest.  It will come earlier, come later, or last longer than you expect.

10. Be thankful for all the grain going into the bin!
