View of the day-Making the last pass by the bins in Gettysburg.
We didn't get an early start, the first test was at noon and it was 16.3% moisture so we went back to the camper to kill some time before trying it again.
We tried it again around 2pm and it had come down over a point to 15.2%, so the elevator figured by the time we had a load cut it would have dried down even more...so we cranked it up. It took a few loads to get dry and by then we had finished the first piece of the field that we were on...and hardly had to worry about any mud.
Marilyn cut a pass through the big part of the field, dodging the sprayer tracks that had standing water in them and made it back in time for a driver switch. Marilyn had to get back to the camper for a Theatre Saskatchewan conference call meeting...surprisingly it was only an hour long and by the time it was over Al had a load on the truck.
The elevator waited for Al's last load while Marilyn picked up fuel for the combine...apparently the price drop hasn't reached Gettysburg yet, it's still 45 cents a gallon more that just up the road in Selby. It is also a pain that the pumps cut out at $250.00...what's that...six gallons?
Back at the camper it was pizza and laundry and since the dryer doesn't dry, the clothes are on the line for the night.
Let's hope the rain stays away tonight...
