Rainy day welding

I love the smell of ozone.

Dad and I spent the morning in bro's welding shop working on a 3-tier spring tooth crust buster. We put together 6 pieces of 3 inch thick wall tubing to make 3 pieces of tubing 10 feet long. Dad did the cutting I did the welding. That will be the part of the machine's frame which holds the spring tooth fittings and two four foot pieces of 2 inch by 6 inch square tubing will form the sides, probably by tomorrow afternoon. Should be done with the whole thing by Thursday and then we'll start on some fertilizer spreading attachments for the tractor and corn seeder.

A little note of support for our blog-friend Rae Ann, who's father-in-law is very ill and possibly hovering on the edge of that inevitable journey. From each of us a prayer to help her and her family through this difficult time.

The rain really started pouring about 10am and hasn't let up yet. These rapid air pressure changes always make me a little queasy and achy. Supposed to thunder and lightning a little this afternoon, that should be fun.

Joy and happy spring rains to you.
