dView of the day-Even though it rained, we still managed to make some dust.
We got to sleep in for a change and after a late lunch, we headed over to Alva so Al could see what harvesters were left around and Marilyn could finally get to Walmart.
We called out to the farmer and got the news that it had "only rained a tenth" out at the field. Kind of funny to hear that from a farmer...used to be the standing joke with our old boss, no matter how much it rained, he always said "it only rained a tenth out at the farm" which meant we would start cutting even if it was wet. But it really did only rain a tenth.
Once Al had pried Marilyn away from Walmart, we went out to the field to do a test and while Marilyn took a test to the elevator, Al kept combining...it tested 11.8 so we were good to go. Marilyn made a run back to Cherokee to get the groceries put away before they melted in the truck, then came back to take over combing so Al could take the load of grain into Dacoma...another notch in the General's visor for a new elevator hauled to.
Al got another load in before the sun went down and Marilyn continued combining until he got back then we quit for the night...no sense getting into trouble on a new field...it was a bit soft in places. Al got to get a McDonald's fix in as we were only 10 miles from Alva so we went in for snacks before heading back to Cherokee for the night.
More of the same tomorrow...
