I work full time (but only for less than three months - woohoo) AND take care of a 25+ acre farm by myself.  I have a tractor, bushhog, blade, fertilizer spreader all for the big tractor and a small lawn tractor and manure spreader.  I do fence repair myself, mow pastures, take care of the animals, etc.  I built the tack/feed room and the stalls, including preparing the base for rubber mats. 

 

If Dan is going to own a farm, then he should be doing things like mowing and raking.

His wife "makes him?"  ROFLOL  Do you really believe that?  Dan is always talking about what a goof he is and how his wife makes him do this or that.  I don't believe half of it.  It's part of Dan's "charm" and anecdotal stories. 

 

Would you think it was so endearing if Dan said he made his wife do all the laundry?

Since Dan always talks like he can't tie his shoes without his wife's help I'm suprised he says he rakes his farm. I like him, but his "I'm such a dork I can't dress myself" spiel grates my nerves.

@katiescarlett  You must be a superwoman on steroids.  Good for you.  Let us know how well you are doing after a year of hard farm work.  Children, family,age, what kind of outside-the-hone-work?  Just want to know your secret.  I am 71 and am not superwoman.  Share your secrets.

@katiescarlett:  What do you know of Dan's health and age compared to you.

I'm sure Dan is a very nice man, but I can't watch his shows. He tries to hard to be a comedian and it is very annoying.  I wish he would just stick to presentation. He doesn't listen to his guests and you can tell he is only thinking of what  he can say next to get a laugh.  I can't be the only one that feels this way.

I believe Dan is colorblind. He asks his wife to lay out his wardrobe before he goes to work. So he probably does need help in the morning.

 

I have an up and down relationship with Dan. I enjoy his rugged masculinity but also find him to be somewhat silly. He does things that don't make sense. Like leaving a list of his passwords on stickies right next to his computer because he can't remmeber them. I find it difficult to believe a successful business man doesn't know how to operate a computer on the year 2018.

You do realize that a farm rake is attached to a tractor right? Screen Shot 2018-04-03 at Tue, Apr 3, 2018-7.50.48 PM.png
