View of the day-Last Thursday's storm remnants in at our farmers house in Cherokee, OK.

We had plans of getting the combine and header moved up to Cherokee, but the ProHarvest guys showed up to replace the oil cooler rad. While Marilyn was blowing off the machine yesterday, she went to clean the rads and when she pulled the first one out...only half of it came out. It seems the weld broke on the bracket on the top of it...a common occurence the ProHarvest team thought had been corrected.

Since they were going to be a while, we decided to just go with the grain cart and header. We left around 2pm and made the 220 mile drive to Cherokee. A lot of harvester traffic on the highway, everyone moving north to their next stops. There had been a lot of rain, the rivers were all up and you could see the straw in the ditches and along the fence wires where the flowing water had washed it up.

Once we parked and stopped in to visit a bit with the farmers, we headed back to Davidson. A long day, a late arrival home and the reason there wasn't an early entry today.

Sorry...
