View of the day-Working around the pump jack...the idle pump jack.
Goodness, July already!
We got going at 10:30am, finished the field we were on and moved 12 miles to the next field. the weather was hot and windy and there weren't any lineups...perfect harvesting conditions.
The second field wasn't running as good so Al was able to keep up without a problem...so much in fact that he was able to get the slip tank filled in town with fuel for the combine. After he took the last load of the night into the elevator, Marilyn kept going until the combine was full, then waited for him to return to unload. While she waited, she fueled and serviced the combine...a bit harder in the dark...but it means an extra 30 minutes in the morning.
After our visit yesterday from the Petersons, Marilyn received an email from Dana with a cute story...from out of the mouth of babes...
