The forecast was for rain today and it started out cloudy and really humid again. We knew nothing would go for the first part of the day, so we went downtown to do some letter mailing, then had lunch at the Firehouse.
Al decided to do a test around 3pm and was surprised to find out the test was 13.8% and the elevator told him he could bring a load in...just don't bring in the "tests" that are in the cart from the past few days. We obliged.
Marilyn drove Al over to where the General was parked and running, then went out to the combine to start making dust. By the time we got a load into the elevator it was 14.2%, but they told us we could bring in another load...and we could bring in the high moisture "tests" in the cart. That load was over 16%, but we all knew it would be.
We did one more load and this time it was 14.8% so they suggested we shut it down for the day. We had missed the rain and the forecast for tomorrow is hot and sunny, so we should be able to finish the field we are on and get the pickup head mounted and ready for the swaths. Still, it was a 50 acre day, and excellent change.
We stopped for supper in the bar at the Cenex...the first time we have been in that building. Considering how long we have been here and how many places there are to eat, it was surprising we have never stumbled in. Excellent burgers, by the way.
We might actually have to get up early tomorrow...
