What We Do in Our Other Life



Dave and Turbo on the loader.

If you have been reading this blog you know we farm and raise beef and chickens.....but what some of you don't know is that we also work other full time jobs.

My desk in the scale house












Trucks I weigh









This week I had to lend a hand to Dave, when Shirley, the Scale House Operator, took a day off from work.





Transfer facility
Dave is the Manger for a Trash Transfer Station. They collect trash from local municipalities and then transfer it to the landfill. He is also in charge of "capping" the existing landfill at the facility. They no longer accept trash there and now it as to be covered and sealed according to EPA Guidelines. I filled in for Shirley in the scale house, weighing in trucks. I get to take the dogs along for the day. They like to go to work and ride on the machines with Dave. Mick and Chris also work there, running heavy equipment and making repairs on the semi trucks and equipment.
It is a very impressive operation. As you can see by the photos, you would never guess what was in this building!

That's really neat to learn that about you and your family Berni! I had no idea that you all had other jobs as well...you sure keep busy. :)
