View of the day-Dumping into the cart across from the old radar base north of Gettysburg. The semi and pup are spotted courtesy of the guys at the elevator.It was another wet morning...at least the humidity made it wet, but that didn't matter, we weren't planning on testing until after lunch. We sat around the camper then went out for a late lunch at the Burg, then Al went out and did a test...15.5%...we wait some more.
Al decided to try it again at 3:30pm and since he didn't have anything else to do, Marilyn gave him a ride out and he took his "green sheet" classifieds to read, while she worked on getting the backup camera installed in the pickup.
We had purchased a backup camera and after UPS lost the first one, the second one finally showed up, so Marilyn figured she had time to wire it in before Al got started combing and got a truck load. Everything went fine until she tried to test it out by hooking up the extension cord to the video distributor...for some reason they sent an extension cord with a four pin end instead of an S-Video end...there would be n
o camera for a while yet.The elevator had closed for the day but they told Al to give them a call when he got a truck load and someone would come down and dump him. Marilyn took over combining and after Al got the truck unloaded the elevator said they would spot their semi for us to use so they wouldn't have to open up tomorrow...they would just unload the truck on Monday. They brought it out to the field and Al took them back into town then came back out to move things over to the next field...fortunately it was walking distance.
As the sun started to go down the humidity went back up again and the grain was getting tough again so we called it quits for the night. We went to the Firehouse for supper then came home to find a nice little pint basket of cherry tomatoes on our step...tasty...
But where did they come from...
