View of the day-Talk about service...grain ticket delivery to the truck.
We started early, but just as we got rolling, the clouds that had been gathering started to sprinkle. Marilyn waited until the water was running off the header then parked the combine. We were up pretty high and could see the spotty showers all around us, but it seemed like we were lucky missing the downpours.
Marilyn rode along to the elevator, then we went to the local restaurant for lunch...no rush there. After we ate, we went back to the field...the sun was trying to shine, we decided to put the shock absorbers on the General. These had been riding around in the shop for a couple of weeks and now that we had a bit of time to kill we figured we might as well stay out at the field and get some fixing in.
Marilyn went out after the shocks were on and started combining again. Just before she finished the field, she had a few riders with her, they took shifts, but the ride was short as it was the end of the field.
We moved to the next field...didn't have to take the header off this time...and started in on it. There are a lot of terraces in this field, as the picture of the first round shows...
The rain missed us for the rest of the day...could it have been the broken rain gauge? The forecast is for rain tonight and tomorrow morning, but so far the sky looks clear to the west.
But we know how fast that can change...
