It All Started With Lunch

I was done...

It took one look and I was screwed. She had that worried look... After I answered the call I had to immediately rush to the emergency room. My dad was working on the combine and severely injured himself, he broke his back again. I had to figure out what to do... It was in the middle of bean harvest and dad was bed ridden. I was so in the moment, I forgot what time it was... It was 11:00 and I was still at the hospital, I snapped back to reality. Sharie needs to get home NOW. I left the hospital headed to her house. It was a 30 minute drive, I was kinda ranting about dad, it's not the first time he over used his self, now I was the one running. Sharie helped me get over it, I dropped her off and just sat in my truck for a while, her dad come out and asked if I wanted to talk.

I couldn't turn him down, I told him that dad just had his knee surgery and was healed, I had been taking care of stuff at the ranch and on the farm, dad had done some stuff even though he wasn't supposed to. I had been helping harvest ever since I was little, and I was so worried about making it work, Ernie told me "you've done it before, now you just have to do more of it". I couldn't argue, he was right. I've ran the combine before and I know how to drive the Mack semi, there was one problem, the Mack wasn't tagged let alone DOT approved, I could go to jail for even driving it. Look at the picture, it's kinda rough. There is this great thing called power steering, all newer vehicles have it, this truck don't. I have driven the truck bob tail(without the trailer) but the trailer was another story. I'm more worried about the DOT than the truck, I have A turn signal, to turn left, and I had head lights. My ma called and told me to go home and sleep, I had school the next day, then I go to work, and at 9:00 I crawl in the combine and cut beans.
