View of the day-The red dirt road blowing to beat the band. The corn fights to stay upright in the howling wind. If you click on the picture you can see our combine in the field on the left side of the far field waiting to be serviced.
We got going after 10 today but we had to move to a new field, so there was some time used up there. Al continued to haul the loads left from yesterday and once he got back to the new field, took over combining so Marilyn could run into Frederick to get parts and do the laundry.
We, and the temperature, went over 100 today. We hit 140 and the temp was just over 100. And the wind...boy, does it blow...still from the south, but that will probably change once we start heading north.
Line ups at the elevators are getting longer. Al had to take his loads to Frederick and he said at one point there were 16 trucks ahead of him. Apparently they are not to efficient, with the pits sometimes sitting empty for up to ten minutes, while they shuffle the trucks around.
It's almost 11:30pm and the temp is still 89.
Tomorrow we move across the Red River into Texas...
