View of the day-What a difference a day makes! The Hamill buttes all but obscured by fog and rain.
We woke up to fog, kind of different for us in this area...or at least when we are harvesting here.
We went in to Winner early to get the alternator tested...it was bad...like we couldn't see that coming. We were in early enough to get the breakfast menu, we kind of went through withdrawal since Miss Dotties in Cherokee, OK. After we ate, we picked up a few other parts and went back to Hamill, driving back in the pouring rain.
It hadn't rained yet out at the field, so we got the new alternator back into the tractor and it seemed to solve the problem...we'll find out for sure if we ever get back out to the field. It did rain on us while we were out there, it didn't last too long...but there was no way we would be combining today. We got the new dimmer switch installed on the General...and working, then it was over to the cart trailer to install new warning flags just as the sun started to shine.
A productive day on the repair side, but no acres covered...what a change from a month ago. We decided to go back in to Winner for supper, just for something different and on the way back we finally saw someone else combining. He was just doing a small strip...apparently it hadn't rained to much on that field...we still couldn't go.
The weather started to take a downturn later on in the evening...weather warnings all around us and finally one in our area. Off to the north and west the lightning is flashing and we can hear the occasional rumble of thunder...which is sure to increase before the night is over...more rain.
What to do tomorrow...
