View of the day-nothing to do but look around...
A weird weather day, starting out cloudy with sprinkles and thunder. We headed out to the field, Marilyn fueled and serviced the combine, while Al took the last load of the field to the elevator. The high humidity and the scattered showers made the moisture in the grain a bit high, so we went into Vernon for brunch, and got a Walmart fix in.
By the time we got back out to the field around 4pm, the grain was dry enough to start. After only two rounds around the field, a hydraulic hose sprung a leak, which made steering a bit of a challenge. By the time we got the ruined hose off, it was too late (and Sunday) to get the parts, so it was an early night.
There is 140 acres left to go before we move north, and this field will be the first of the season with terraces. We have been spoiled with flat fields, but things will start 'rolling' along as we move to the high plains.
