A close call

We know some of you remember us in your prayers, and we thought we would let you know that you can punctuate them with a big "thank you" tonight!  Quentin is certain the Lord was watching over him yesterday.  He was hooking up an anhydrous tank yesterday when he noticed a fertilizer tower on the strip-till bar looked a little crooked.  Now, he got a little technical telling the story, and I am not mechanically inclined so bear with me.  Let's just suffice to say where there should have been two U-bolts holding a massive amount of weight, there was only one.  The other had broken.  We do not know how long he had been running like that, but if the one remaining U-bolt would have snapped under the added pressure, half the strip-till rig would have been in serious peril.  Not to mention, if he would have been running at speed, it also would have probably torn up the anhydrous tank he was pulling.  It would have been a very extensive, expensive and potential dangerous accident.  Whew!  We are counting our blessings today!
