View of the day-A couple of friendly dogs suck up some shade under the General.
We got out to the field early…relatively speaking…and took the header off to move to the next field. After getting it hooked back up at the next field, Marilyn cut a patch out to park everything, then Kevin picked us up and took us back for the General and cart. Marilyn took the pickup back, then started combining, while Kevin had the honor of driving the tractor and cart.
The moisture was still up on this field…a lot of the wheat had come up in the spring and was still green. It was a far cry from the 9% moisture of the last few fields, coming up as high as 14.1%...but Marilyn was able to blend it off.
We covered 140 acres again today and got to combine next to the JD crew…apparently Marilyn didn’t get the text that supper was coming out to the field, or else red and green don’t go together…except at Christmas.
Al had some time to wait at the end of the day and while Marilyn was cleaning up one of the terraces, took the MiFi out on the top of the hill and did a bit of surfing out in the field. Two thumbs up for the high speed connection in the middle of nowhere.
It’s going to make for some scenic Skype calls…
