View of the day-Fighting gale force winds...well, maybe not gale, but 45mph. We spent most the time dumping trying to get lined up to break the wind so it wouldn't blow all the grain away.
Marilyn woke up early to the sound of strong winds and the thought of the clothes that were hanging on the line from her 2am laundry junket. Two towels had tried to make a break for it, but they got rounded up and ended up in the basket with the rest of the laundry. It was surprising that with all the wind during the night, the clothes were still damp.
Al got up early to try and pawn off...er...dump the two loads of rye that he feared were wet, but he worried for nothing...the first was 13.7% and the second was 14%. They took it without batting an eye.
We went out to the field to move over to the wheat and test it...13.7% so we started right in. Al combined the first load, then Marilyn took over. Our harvester neighbor from the campground...the only other harvester left in town...came out to the field and rode around in the combine a bit. After the elevator closed, Al filled the truck while Marilyn went back to the camper to build supper.
The temperature has dropped and the wind has finally died down, so it will be a quiet night...no A/C...
Maybe we can sleep with the windows open...
