Hauling Corn

Last week Jaylon was hauling semi loads of corn from grain bins about 15 min. away, to the farm.  The one morning I rode with him in the semi while he went for a load of corn.  Its always fun when I get to spend the day with Jaylon while he's working  :)

                                                             Riding along in the semi :)

 Pulling up to the weigh station.  He has to weigh the semi when its empty and then weigh it again when its full of corn.


   This thing tells Jaylon how much the semi weighs and then you have to fill out a card with how much it weighed before and after.


                                                       Filling up the semi with corn

                                                 Checking to see if the semi is full


                          While we were driving down the dirt road on our way back to the farm Jaylon saw a rattlesnake along the road.  So of course he had to get out and kill it.  That's one less rattlesnake in the valley lol.

             This one wasn't just a regular diamondback rattlesnake, it was a Mohave rattlesnake, which is more poisonous than a diamondback.  Jaylon was careful when he killed it and kept a safe distance, he has alot of experience killing rattlesnakes.  This was the first time I saw a rattlesnake in AZ lol

                       Last week was the Cochise county fair.  On Saturday night Me, Jaylon, Justin, Joanna, Joshua, and Joylin went to the rodeo.  We had alot of fun :)
