View of the day-It's chokecherry time and are there ever a lot of them..big, juicy and way up there. Had to catch these on the fly, but there might be some picking tomorrow.

We were able to get started earlier today, even with the high humidity...again.  At least there was more of a wind, but we did top out at 101º today...mighty warm to say the least.  Al really appreciated that A/C today!

The going was pretty slow with the yield being as high as it was...reaching 80 bu/ac...but in the low spots and along the water runs, it was still pretty green, which slowed the progression even more.

We got the first field done just before sunset, then moved down the two-track trail a half mile or so to the next field.  We got the outside round done and had enough to fill the semi...we even got to use the lights on the combine.

Marilyn got to put, what Al calls "autosteer" in her combine this morning...at the one o'clock position on the steering wheel...a lovely hardwood "speed knob".

Not really what she had in mind...
