View of the day-Combining across from the elevator Al is hauling to...doesn't take long to get back.A lot of moisture in the air...not from rain, thank goodness...so it was a late start again.
Al pulled the first shift combining while Marilyn made a trip to Highmore to get a new belt for the pickup head we had brought back from Carlyle. The farmer had tried to get some swathing done, but was having problems keeping out of the mud, so they were going to move to the field south of town. That will be a shock to the system...having to drive 10 miles to a field.
There was lots of bad weather in the area...a tornado touched down SE of Highmore, but that was well after Marilyn was out of the area. The clouds were building all around us, but it seemed like we were under a dome because we didn't get any rain at all. It was pretty cool out, so the grain never did get very dry and it didn't take long before the elevator "suggested" we call it a day around 5pm due to the high moisture.
With time on our hands we went out for supper then Al went out to check in with the farmer and Marilyn walked home to start rewiring the camper. There was quite a rat's nest of wires behind the TV running to printers, hard drives, receivers, etc., so it was labeling time...and time to install another wireless USB hub, so the laptop could access everything when the desktop computer is off.
The first farmer we cut for came over to get settled up and we had a good visit, then Al went back to his Olympic coverage and Marilyn went back to "networking".
Everything is working as it should...
