View of the day-Idle time at the campground for all the crews. The neighbors spent the day washing pickups...too bad we couldn't have squeezed ours in unnoticed.
Another idle day but at least the weather was dry, even if it was only in the mid 60's. It would have been a good day for the next door neighbors to let their two yapping dogs out of the camper...they were at it most of the day. We usually have the doors and windows closed and the A/C going so we don't notice it as much, but it was too nice of a day not to air the place out.
After a late lunch we decided we had better go out to fuel and service the combine just to make sure it was still out in the field where we left it. While Al greased and fueled, Marilyn got the windows done on the combine and tractor. We had to put on a new part...an upgrade to the wooden idler blocks that keep the clean grain elevator chain from whipping around...no instructions and it looks completely different from the old one. We'll see if it lasts.
After getting both rigs ready for action...we are going to try some straight stuff tomorrow since the swather is sitting in the alfalfa field looking like there could be a problem on one end of it. Al will find out what the problem is tomorrow. If the elevator will take some more high moisture grain, we will be good to go...if not, it could be another day like today.
It will go...it will go... it will go...
