View of the day-The A/C man has saved the day...good thing too, it was a hot one.
We were up early...before 8am...quite a shock to the system after all the time off to sleep in. Al unloaded the truck and Marilyn went out to the field to fuel and service the combine while waiting for the A/C man to show up.
Once he got to the combine and figured out that the problem was a loose compressor belt, a bit of tightening and the combine was blowing cold once again. After Al got back to the field with the General, we went into town for lunch then went back out to start combining.
It was plenty hot...upper 90's and a good wind. It seems like everyone in the area is finally getting to combine with the trucks are rolling steady and dust flying everywhere. It won't take long to get things done at this rate...as long as the wheat is dry enough.
We finished up north of town and cleaned up a small test plot before heading over to the next farmer we had to work for. Marilyn cut around the field to the yard and cleared a spot to park everything then we took a test into the elevator...14.6% and it was getting more humid as the sun went down, so we shut down the combine for the day. Al dumped the last load into the bin and after Marilyn picked him up from the field it was back to the camper for supper.
Tomorrow should be another hot one...
