May 28, 2011

View of the day-Al fills the combine up across from the camper at the Cherokee Coop.

We woke up to overcast skies and an east wind…you know what that usually brings. We had our to-do list in hand and went to work crossing things off as we completed them…some things went faster than others. Our landlord, Mike was over for a visit and lent a hand with a few of the items and Al even got him to do a bit of welding on the Freightliner.

Marilyn had a marathon shopping trip at Alva, getting home at 2:30am…she pretty much had the store to herself…until it came time to check-out, then there was a lineup. At some point in the shopping trip, the Tracfone started working, so now we have a cell phone…that nobody has a number for….but at least we can call out.

We took Mike out for supper to Pizza Hut…the first visit there for the summer, then we took a tour south of town to see how the swathing was progressing. The swather was going like 90, but of course he could when he was only cutting 21 feet…that will cut back on the productivity. We were curious to see how it would get swathed with the terraces in the field, since we usually cut along the terraces, then cut out in between them. By the looks of things, we will be going over the terraces…a whole new experience.

We didn’t get any bad weather today, but it has gotten hazy and humid…not telling what will happen…
