View of the day-Passing the feedlot on the way back to Hamill from Winner.
We woke up to a rather fresh morning...low of 47º last night, but it didn't take long for the sun to warm things up and we had a pleasant day...not a great drying day, but nice none the less.
Most of the day was spent mentally preparing ourselves for the inevitable job of getting the books up to date...it's amazing how many crappy jobs can get done when trying to avoid the bookwork. Al had most of it organized so it really shouldn't have been so painful.
We ran out of propane...both tanks...and knew the valve on one of them needed to be changed, so after calling around to various places in Winner, we were able to find what we needed. We wanted to get in before everything closed, but Marilyn was expecting a couple of packages and didn't want to miss the UPS/FedEx trucks. The important item...new TV...showed up and after a call to Dishnetwork to find out where the new smart card had been sent we figured we had gotten all we were going to for the day.
We got the new valve and installed it on the tank then went to get them filled...two for the same price of one fill at home...$38. We don't use as much propane in the summer and the 100 ft of hose laying in the sun takes care of the showers at night so it lasts a lot longer than when we have to use the furnace in the fall.
We took a chance on the Chinese buffet joint in town...got there at the right time and it was pretty good...for the only Chinese restaurant in town. We stopped at the elevator to see if anyone was going to be around tomorrow in case we did a test and found out they would be around until noon and to call if we would be in later and someone would meet us there. No one was in the fields on the way down or back and the guys we saw combining the other day were taking it off at 18% and drying it.
Some of the corn looked a little worse for wear south of town...wind and hail from the last go round...we didn't slow down for pictures, but that could be coming. The crops are really turning and if we could just get some hot weather it would be dust making time in no time at all.
Tomorrow there will be dust...even if it just for a test...
