View of the day-We can't catch up to the swather man if he is broke down. Al helps get things bolted back in.
It was another day of wishful thinking. First we had more rain during the night...not much, just enough to put everything on hold, yet again. We took the General out to the field which was about 10 miles south of town. We saw the farmers out in the next field working on the swather, so we went over to see if we could lend a hand. We got everything back together but they still needed to get another part from Highmore.
Al drove one of their pickups back to their yard, then Marilyn took him over to where the combine was parked so he could bring it back to the shop trailer at the camper to blow out the rads and filters.
Marilyn finished painting the brackets for the trailer...they had dried off enough after the big rain then Al drove the combine out to the field and did a test. We brought it into the elevator and it tested 15.1% moisture, so that meant there would be no combining done today even though it was plenty hot enough. W
e checked out the pile of winter wheat that was slowly getting cleaned up...there's a lot of trucks hauling out. It will be interesting to see how long it takes.
We stopped at the VFW for supper, then came back to the camper...done for the day.
The cart moves down tomorrow...
