the manure and straw was packed in 3 feet high.

My Technique?

I take a deep breath. RACE in with the pitchfork. BREAK a Layer loose.
And run for the door and Fresh air.

DALE LAUGHED.

And then he told me, "I don't have to do that anymore. Explained his barter deal.

Hi Glenn,

Thanks... This reminds me of a story my late Dad once told me.

My father grew up on a farm in rural Michigan. Being on a farm in the 1950s, he had to tend to all the usual farm chores that went with running a farm.

One of the jobs he had to do from time to time as he was growing up was shoveling pig manure!

Those days made it a little hard to go on dates...

No strength of cologne can mask the smell of pig manure!

Best wishes,

Dien
