There was a heavy dew this morning, so we didn't rush right out to the field. We stopped at Burger King for a "quick" breakfast...it turned out to be, anything but.
We ordered our sandwiches, got our beverage cups to fill, and got our order number. We had ordered a bag of ice too and after a couple minutes, we got the ice and Marilyn went out to put in the water cooler. She waited...and waited...and waited for Al...it was only two sandwiches, what could be taking so long. She was soon to find out.
Al stood in line and watched as new people came in, got their orders and left...all the while waiting for those two sandwiches. Finally he lost it and asked where our food was and why everyone was getting served ahead of him. They couldn't see his order up on the screen, so he gave them the receipt he had been given..."oh, that one has gone out already". WHAT?? Al proceeded to tell them he wanted his sandwiches NOW or he wanted his money back...they told him...and you won't believe this..."but there are people waiting for their orders"!
We got our sandwiches and there was no bloodshed. Too bad they kept the receipt with the "how are we doing, use this code to tell us".
We got out to the field, got serviced and started combining. Marilyn had riders for a while today, Maitland, Maddy and Macy came for their annual combine ride and filled her in on their past years activities. Other than that, except for the couple of times she got out to "check the combine over", it was straight on combining.
Al was kept busy hauling grain and shuttling the cart further down the field. Marilyn decided to finish the field, even though it meant quitting later than usual. Getting just over 150 acres today was well worth it, though.
By the way, the heat wave is over for a few days...
