August 5, 2008


View of the day-We got nothing to do but look at the sky...through the ladder on the side of one of the bins.

A beautiful day...with nothing to do. Well, almost nothing.

Ray from ProHarvest showed up to change a valve on the combine and it seemed to correct the problem of the header creeping down. The guy back at the dealership said that the amount of creep we had was within factory specs...that's fine in the field, but the fenders on the combine trailer tell a different story. Ray pulled rank and fixed it the right way...what a great guy, too bad his partner doesn't have the same drive.

We put in a couple of small parts that needed to be replaced and did a test...16.1% moisture...more sitting. Al did a test later on and it had only dropped to 15.6%, so that was it for the day.

There was lightning to the SW but so far it has managed to stay to the south, although there is a chance later on in the night for some showers. Our farmers are debating whether they should swath the grain to bring it along, and if they do, we will have to make a fast trip to Carlyle to get the pickup head.

Hurry up and wait...
