Earlier this year .. we stumbled upon a garden 'gold mine' ...

Yep, it was poop scoopin' boogie time .. at the local livestock yards!

And we dug in! Welll, 'we' didn't ourselves - but the cute lil pooper-scooper
did - fer us! Got a good load (almost TOO good fer the tires) .. and brought it home.

Tried to talk the feller operating her .. into jes putting the lil poop-scooper into our trailer on top of the pile.
But he said, his boss prolly wouldn't like 'at too much ... (hey, it don't hurt a body to ask!) .. heehee ..

Had somewhat of a scare coming down the mountain from Compton tho'. With all the weight
of our black gold, pushing us downhill .. the brakes sortee decided to take the day off!
Good thing we had a standard transmission in ye faithful Ford diesel - for gearing her down
was about the only thing we could count on, to keep us somewhat 'slowed' ...
Dang sure couldn't afford to risk burnin' up the brakes on the tow vehicle, no doubt! For then we'da
surely been 'up the (proverbial) creek without a paddle'! And would certainly add more reason to
actually doing the poop-scootin' boogie, no doubt!

Care to guess at what just happened to decide to function during the very last leg? Yep .. And not a moment
too soon! Yep, the brakes came off their 'break' .. jes as we'd started down our steep driveway! .. Whew!!

Twasn't no shovelin' fer us tho' to get the trailer unloaded. Fortunately, the Great Pumpkin (Kubota tractor) helps
pay fer herself .. and well! Using the GP .. we were able to reach into the trailer with her front bucket and scoop
this heuh black gold out .. and pack and dump it .. then, get it all spread in the garden.

Nope .. haint took no look at the trailer brakes yet either! hmph ..
We's some brave hillbillies !!) .. heehee ..

In due time, yep, in due time.
