July 3, 2008





View of the day-Cutting more terraces...they never seem to end.

What a gorgeous day...81 degrees, mild wind...almost like the Canadian harvest.

Another early start and a lot of acres covered, even though we had to move to four different fields...of course they were right next to and across the road from each other. It's surprising how beautiful the landscape is until you start combining and realize some of the terraces are so steep you need a seat belt on your lunch bag to keep it from rolling off the seat.

Combines have been rolling everywhere around the area...custom harvesters across from us, but mostly it is local farmers taking care of their own crop. Al made a few trips to the elevator today and even managed to talk to the local radio station guy that was on a remote at the elevator. He got free water and put in a request for International Harvester by Craig Morgan...again, how appropriate for a Canadian cutting in the USA...we know, it's not that kind of "International", but what the heck.

As we came into Great Bend to the camper, we could see fireworks going off all around town...they can only set them off between 10am and midnight tomorrow...such law abiding citizens. No fireworks in town which is too bad...they always put on a great show.

Time to go for a drive to upload...another late night...
