View of the day-Well, the view from yesterday...a lot of puddles around Great Bend from the rain.

We got to sleep in, it rained .30 out at the field, which meant a later start...if at all.

We had an early lunch at Pizza Hut, then stopped at the elevator to pay the fuel bill, then went out to see about getting a new antenna for the two way radio on the tractor.  Too bad they were closed over lunch.

We went out to the field and Marilyn started work on the new camera for the combine hopper. After she got it mounted and hooked up, it was time to take a test of the wheat.  The temps were only in the mid 90's, so it should have dried down some.

And it did.  It was down to 11.5% moisture, so we were able to get going...at 5pm.  We finished the field we were on then moved across the road to the next field.  This one wasn't going as good as the last one, so Al had some down time waiting for a truck load. 

With good weather in the forecast and cooler temps, we should be able to get rolling early tomorrow.

Highs are only supposed to be in the 80's...a nice change...
