Oh Rhett, you wear me out! Lol! Funny kid! After he got his walking boot off they put him right to work. Rhett had never drove a manual before so this is the summer he learned how. They had him just drive back and forth in the field and Dallin and JD would trade him trucks to go dump. It was a pretty good system.
Rhett's not in this last picture (he was putting tools away), but I wanted to remember the story so I have to add it here. The first day Ryan was teaching Rhett how to drive the grain truck, as they were coming out of our Avery 2 field Rhett got too close to the fence post and popped a tire. Ryan was in the truck with him but didn't see what was happening until it was too late. Of course Rhett got his butt chewed by all the guys because no one has time to fix a popped tire during harvest, but it has to be fixed because we don't have another truck to use. He was feeling pretty down about it all. While him, Stan and Ryan were working to get it changed Stan told him (in his loving, teasing voice), "Now Rhett....don't be asking anybody if your grandpa's ever done this. Don't ask Dallin or Ethan or anybody, do you hear me?" Apparently the day before Stan pulled too close to the truck while in the combine and hit it with the header. It was so sweet of him to point out to Rhett that we all make mistakes and he wasn't alone. It made Rhett more confident to get back in and try again. I'm so grateful for good grandparents for my kids.
