It was a dark and stormy night... oh, wrong story. Well, OK, it was a cloudy and windy morning. Lil' Bob arrived in my driveway about 4 PM, light rain started about 6 PM, heavy rain right now.
I climbed up on the delivery guy's trailer and helped unstrap Bob, then climbed inside while he attached the ramps. I barely touched the key and Bob started immediately, ran very smoothly, lower noise level than before, everything worked perfectly. I backed it into the garage and covered the interior with a tarp so the chickens won't shit all over everything. After 4 1/2 months, I feel like a few tons of stress weight have been lifted off my shoulders. Now if the hay guy delivers, that will help more. If the roof would quit leaking, that would help more. If... if... if...
