View of the day-A visit from the ProHarvest guys to get some software updated on the monitor.
The sun was actually shining this morning and with the exception of the few clouds you can see in the picture, we had sun for the whole day.
Al had the plan to move the rigs out to the field, but since we knew we wouldn't be doing any cutting we decided to split the trip up.
We went to the sale barn for breakfast and got our eggs...that doesn't mean we got up early, it just means they make eggs all day. As we were leaving we saw the ProHarvest truck at one of the new 8120 CaseIH combines that was on a trailer...they were fixing the air seat. Marilyn went and asked Ray if he would come out and do the software update on the combine before they headed back to Pierre and he said they would...it helped we were only a mile from the sale barn.
We went back and hooked the header trailer up to the pickup then Al drove the tractor and cart up to the field while Marilyn followed. We did a bite test on the grain and it was pretty soft so we went back to town via the highway and since the ProHarvest were still with the other combine, we went back to the camper.
We waited until around 5pm, then went out to move the combine to the field and the ProHarvest guys were just finishing the update. Al took the combine into town to fuel it up and Marilyn went to get some groceries to make supper...you read right. She was disappointed there hasn't been any fresh dill at the store, so she called the farmer's wife who had mentioned she had a garden. The garden was at the farm just a few miles past the field, so while Al was driving up she was able to go pick some dill, and since the farmer was out there working she was told to take a few other things...onions, tomatoes, broccoli...and she did. After picking Al up it was back to town to make supper and rest up for some combining tomorrow...maybe.
Back at the campground, things were happening...two crews moved in...and almost filled the campground. This is more like the old days. We now have no view out the side windows and the neighbors have two pups that they leave barking in their camper.
We miss Hamill...
