More of the same today. Al went out to service and unload, letting Marilyn know that noon would be plenty early for her to get to the field. She was just about to go out around 11am when she looked into the storage compartment under the camper and found a lot of water. Apparently another pinhole had rubbed through the small hose running to the water filter for the fridge.
It took about a half hour to get the water cleaned up with the shop vac and once the water had been shut off, she was on her way to the field.
Al had been having issues with the feeder chain jumping a link on one side when a wad of flax straw would go through, so we set about trying to work around it. We got the feeder chain tightened just slightly more than where we had usually had it adjusted, then we figured we should tighten up the feeder clutch springs, to see if that would help with the plugging. It did...a lot. So we were off to the races...if we were a turtle.
The rest of the day was spent trying to get the field done and at about 8pm, Al figured we had better call it a night. Marilyn thought she could see the end of the field, so we chugged along until it was finished...with no plugging to speak of. It was slow going though.
Let's hope we don't get the "s" word, as forecast...
