View of the day-We got the swather working like a dream and he's cutting like crazy.

We got right to work on the swather and after a lot of head scratching and picture comparisons, we got everything put back together and it ran like a top. A good start to the day.

We went to the Rock for lunch but this time we got in well behind the church crowd since it took a while to get the swather fixed. After lunch we went back to the camper and killed some time before we decided to take the combine out to the field and give it a try. We had to put the straight header back on and after doing a test discovered that it was still too wet...plus the elevator wasn't open today anyway.

We went back to the camper and worked on the General's headlights...we didn't find the problem because they decided to work. Marilyn figured it was time to finish cleaning out the shop trailer, a job that had been started before the rain held us up...there always seems to be something else to do when it comes to organizing. Once that was done, it was time to call it a day...another tough one but at least the weather was decent. The air conditioner in the camper has been shut off for two days...a pleasant change.

Al has high hopes for tomorrow...
