    So there’s an auger that goes up to the top of that hopper bin in the foreground and drops the milled grain in the bin. The actual mill is off to the left and out of the picture.

    Left the mill running, got distracted, the bin filled up but there’s no sensor to shut it off (yet) so it just kept pumping grain out and it all slid off the top of the bin and spilled on the ground. That was probably about 4 tons of oats on the ground.

    There was a shovel party to clean it up.

      Now my sides hurt from laughing so much at you.

      The shear amount to shit your going to get for this one over the years. I would ask you “Is your mill running?” Everytime I saw you or called you for decades.

      Damn, what a lovely way to spend a day. Even with a handful of fellow shovelers, that’s 4 tons! That’s a shit ton of tons!
