RAIN! During the night it rained several times, one of them around 6am was a gusher. Not sure what they got in town, but six miles south of town at the combine, the gauge showed 0.45".
We knew there wouldn't be any work for the better part of the day. We had hoped that the sun would come out and the wind would blow to dry the wheat down...we hoped. We had lunch in the camper, then headed over to Java to get some fuel for the combine.
We went back to the shop trailer, which was back at the yard, got the rivets replaced, then decided to change one of the tail lights on the combine trailer that had been giving Al problems. We went back to the grain cart, got the hoop back in...good as new, then thought we would take a road trip to Mobridge to pick up a few things we couldn't get in town.
It was a nice drive over and we drove across the river to tour around a bit, then Al took Marilyn to the Alco store so she could get a shopping fix in. She was only 1/4 way through the store when Al came in looking for her...he had gotten a phone call from one of our friends from Saskatchewan who was stopping in for a visit and was 20 miles from Selby. That made short work of Marilyn's shopping trip...back to Selby we went.
We met Jack and his son-in-law in town...they had been down to Nebraska to pick up some sprayer booms...and after a beverage or two in the camper, we took them on a tour of the countryside and out to the combine to check it out. It was too bad that it didn't dry down enough that they were able to do some combining...the humidity was crazy high all day.
After their tour, they were on their way to make Bismarck for the night...only an hour and a half drive north. We had supper in the camper and called it a night.
Rain in the forecast, but we can hope, can't we...
