June 22


View of the day-Seems like yesterday..oh, wait....it was. Al and his "Cat". Had to use the picture from the video camera still camera, which doesn't have the resolution of the regular digital. Imagine...Marilyn actually forgetting to take the camera to the field!

Compared to yesterday, a rather uneventful day. High humidity again, so it was a late start, but at least we got going. The field had a lot of water sitting in the terraces, so we pretty much patched out what we could, without taking any chances. It is always a temptation to "just get a couple of feet closer" to get what you can, and it usually ends like yesterday did...with an oops.

We talked to our farmer in Kansas and we will be moving (hopefully) up to Timken on Sunday. We moved to our last 50 acres and got about half of it done before the cutting got tough. We actually had more acres to do, but unfortunately, we couldn't get to them, which really is a heart breaker, one of the awful aspects of the job. Some years you can't find work, and others, like this year, you can't go to the elevator without having the manager saying "I know this is a stupid question, but, are you looking for any more work?"

We just want to get done with what we have left here, and hopefully there won't be any moisture in the forecast...
