A flat tire on a car during road travel is a real inconvenience. A flat tire on a tractor is a real hassle. A flat tire on your hay mower-is devastating. Dear Farmer got a flat tire on his hay mower yesterday...
It was the phone call in the middle of the afternoon that alerted the Wife to a difficulty in his workday. It started with a man on the other end of the phone that sounded really tired...it ended with a "can you pick me up?" Both Dear Farmer and Wife had a little drag in their step for the rest of the day. This was not a good day to be put a day behind...the sun was shining, it was a good day for mowing. Dear Farmer had to do other things-basically there is no lack in things to do!
Not people to drag long, it was a pick-me up when Dear Farmer was able to invite a fellow-farmer over for dinner("So, I got a flat tire today, want to come for grilled pork chops?") see: country hospitality:example B . The next day the tire was fixed, and back on the mower...and it rained. Now rain...that's a whole 'nother monster!
