View of the day-Al unloading at the bins...he filled a 5000 bushel bin...he was busy.
We had a pretty productive day...a shock to the system after the slow going in Gettysburg. Al did a bit of running around after we had breakfast at the restaurant by the campground. He finally broke down and purchased an alternator for the pickup and we hope that cures the charging problems. He also made a trip out to the big truck repair shop to see about getting a new brake pot for the combine trailer, so now that we will have parts, there will be a bit of fixing to do.
After getting the brake pot off of the combine trailer, Marilyn went out and greased the combine and Al brought the cart out to the field. We were cutting by noon and went straight through until 9:30pm taking down 120 acres of wheat. What a change! The wheat was standing nice, no weeds and running around 52 bu/ac...that is what combining is all about.
The clouds were appearing all day and there were a few sprinkles out at the field before we left, but it never amounted to anything. Back at the camper, it came down a bit harder but again, not enough to matter. It's supposed to be cool again tonight...might have to break out the space heater, the jackets are out, for Marilyn anyway.
By the way...on the lost glove issue...yep-two left gloves...

Of course you have 2 left-handed gloves - that's Murphy's Law.
