August 13, 2015

View of the day-The backside of the combine making dust in the barley.

We woke up during prime meteor watching time, to the sound of rain on the camper...that meant clouds and going back to sleep. The rain didn't last long or leave much, it just meant a later start in the morning.

Since the combines came back to the yard, Al was able to do the servicing by the shop trailer, which also meant giving the air filters a good cleaning. Since we had extra time to kill, Marilyn gave the windows on the combine a thorough cleaning and RainX treatment, so dusting them off would be more effective. By the time she finally got them finished, Al was ready to head out to the field and start picking up swaths.

Marilyn stayed at the camper for the better part of the day...got the Dodge washed, then started working on a task that has been in the works since the first book(the one at the top of the blog) was put together. It was time to start on the 2008 season's book. Today was a good day to stay inside and work on the computer...not the hottest this week, but still not pleasant.

Al combined straight through until 9:30 then brought the combine back to the yard. Since they are only 1 mile north, it was a short drive.

Could see the end of the barley tomorrow...
