View of the day-The combine and cart wait for the crop to dry down after the rain.
The rain started around 5am and it fell off and on until mid morning. Since we knew we wouldn't be combining at all today, Marilyn tagged along to town as Al took the load from last night to the elevator.
After unloading, we stopped to see if the part we ordered was in...it wasn't...so we took in the Pizza Hut buffet. After lunch we went started back to Hamill just as the rain hit and it poured part of the way home, petering out by the time we got back the camper. We only got .30, enough to stop us finishing the last 40 acres, but at least we didn't get the 2+ inches they got at Chamberlain.
Marilyn decided it was time to get the speakers in the pickup working...just the drivers door one was working. After tearing all the door panels off and fighting the black flies that seemed to like the interior, she discovered one bad speaker and four broken wires. It got dark before she was able to fix anything, so all parts are piled on the seats...let's hope we don't have to get anywhere in a hurry.
Just as she was putting everything back into the truck, the Schwan's truck passed by...well passed by to start, then stopped by to see if we needed anything. Actually we called the neighbors to make sure he stopped by before leaving town. It is unfortunate...or maybe not...that the freezer is so small in the camper...hardly any room for real food.
Tomorrow the truck gets "re-mantled"...
