Another one of those days

I had another one of those days where I left the house to deliver lunch and arrived home six hours later.  M and C were close to home while R and J were about 25 miles away.  I went west to the boys and after lunch helped R move a couple of pickups since J should be finishing up where he's at right now and moving some time this evening.  There were still three trucks to go, but J was going to have to fill his drill at least one more time so we couldn't take them yet.  Not sure how those are going to get moved.

As I was on my way home from there C called to see if I could help him with a computer problem in his sprayer.  The data card was full so the system wouldn't let him do anything, and he couldn't figure out how to clear it and didn't have another one.  When I got back to Richland where he was, I tried to help by reading the manual to no avail.  He was finally able to get in touch with someone at the John Deere dealership in Glasgow who told him he was going to need a new card since we would need a mobile device to download the information to in order to clean up the card.  It's all very high tech these days--nothing is simple anymore.  I was afraid I was going to have to make a flying trip to Glasgow (150 mile round trip) to get a new card because C needed to get another load sprayed off so that he wouldn't get behind the drill.  Luckily, it occurred to me that my sister-in-law might be working in Glasgow and on her way home.  She was and was nice enough to pick up the new card for us and bring it back to my mom's which is close to where C was moving to anyway.  She was back before I could have gotten there and back.  Thank goodness it all worked out and the timing was perfect.  It's not uncommon for the parts stores to leave parts outside in case someone needs to pick them up after hours.  It's also not uncommon for parts to find rides with whomever may have stopped in the store that day and is heading the right direction.

My mother-in-law was so relieved when I called her this morning to let her know I didn't have to go to work today or for the rest of the week.  She's tired and ready to call it a season so I'm trying to do what I can to relieve her of some of her load.  I felt bad that I was no help on the weekend since I had to go pick up my mom on Saturday and then on Sunday had a migraine and didn't leave the couch until the afternoon.  There is light at the end of the tunnel since we should finish seeding in less than a week.
