August 16, 2018

View of the day-Going "old school"...round and round the piece, staying together as you can see in the mirror. At least for a while.

Heavy smoke in the air and clouds...possibly...couldn't really tell with all the smoke in the air. This kept the humidity from dropping, so we didn't get started combining until 1pm.

The going was slow when we did get started and we never did get up to speed during the day. It all had to get combined, so we all kept plugging along.

We got a couple of short breaks during the day. One, to fix a broken section on the header knife, and several more to pull the dead stumps off the header before any damage could be done. We got the call to shut down at 8pm as the humidity had gone up to 80%. Just a bit damp.

Looks like a late start tomorrow, unless the sun is shining...
