June 29, 2008


View of the day-How can something that looks like this be bad?


We got to sleep in again...good thing for Marilyn since the coffee from yesterday kept her up until 3am.


After a call out to the farm, we discovered that we had gotten another .6 inches from yesterday morning's rain. The grain was soft and so was the field which meant we wouldn't be cutting today...no till farming means no ruts.


We went out to the fireworks superstore to stock up for July 4th...talk about a selection. It's too bad you really don't know what you're buying until you blow them off...except of course for the rolls of firecrackers which Al seems to be addicted to. Marilyn managed to talk him out of the 10,000 cracker roll...400's were enough.


Al decided to visit the library to do a bit of surfing in air conditioned comfort...and Marilyn spent the time getting some exercise...shopping, of course. Just shopping...not buying...much.


After we closed the library, we decided to go out to the field to do a bit of fixing...and to check if it had miraculously dried down enough to do a test. Well...we got the fixing done, at least...too wet to try it, but we did get the servicing and fueling done so when it is ready to go we will be too.


It's looking good...
