View of the day-One cloud threatens to let loose but stays away so Marilyn can finish the field near Dacoma.We skipped the usual breakfast, opting for a fast snack from the "ZippyMart", hooked up the shop trailer and headed for the combine. Al blew out the filters and rads while Marilyn serviced the combine. We got started combining just after 10am and didn't stop until we were finished with the field. Al kept busy hauling and Marilyn spent the day trying to ignore the alarm that kept going off randomly...even the duct tape couldn't help. We got hold of Ray from ProHarvest and he said he would try and get out sometime during the day
We finished the big field then moved down the highway to the next field passing a deep tillage that Al wanted to get a picture of...no springs on this unit, very different from ours at home.
After getting everything shifted, we started in on the next field just as the sun was going down. Al took the last load in and then said we would be quitting when he got back...which was fine until Ray finally found us...so much for an early-ish night. He hooked up his computer to find out what the problem was and it showed the error code was being sent from water separator fuel filter sensor...and it had gone off...2294 times!! When we had purchased a jobber filter from NAPA, the sensor socket was the wrong size so we had to unscrew the sensor from the old filter and put it in the new one and that was the problem...a bad sensor. There will be a new filter going on tomorrow. Once Ray had finished his work, we all went on our way home...another 120 acre day.

We might see the end of Oklahoma combining tomorrow...
