July 20, 2008


View of the day-Our home in Hamill...seem to be spending more time in it than in the combine.

No rain during the night, but there was a lot of dew, making it almost as bad as a rain. We got some paperwork caught up and made up some posters to send to some North Dakota elevators, as we do every year.

We went out to the field around 4pm to do a test, and it was good enough to go, so we started in. The elevator was closing at 6pm and by the time we got the semi that was left at the field filled, it was too late to take it in...well, that, and the driver was AWOL. Al took the semi to Hamill and brought out the Freightliner, which hadn't hauled a load of wheat since Oklahoma. We were able to fill both grain trucks, the cart and the farmers grain wagon with seed wheat before quitting for the night.

Our county had been in a severe weather watch until 1am, but it looked like the weekend forecasters were at work...the bad stuff was all to the south...and it looked to be staying down there.

Finally a break from the rain...
