Cut beans yesterday afternoon. After fixing a leaking hydraulic hose that holds the head up. A late start from a cool wet morning the clouds thinned out to none and the sun shone clear all afternoon. No real wind so the beans were tough at dark on the bottom where I finished up. After unplugging the head auger twice on the last round. I didn’t want to combine in the dark anyway. I had moved the wagons, auger and tractors over to the east side of the hill. The field I’m cutting on is basically an eighty some acre hill. I was done cutting over on the western side and spent yesterday afternoon cutting on the east. I had enough to load the semi on wagons by dark so all in all it was a successful day.
We loaded the semi this morning first thing. There was a little frost on the ground at the bottom of the hills at sunrise but the hill tops were only soaked with dew. This morning is a lot nicer than yesterday. The sun is shining and a wind is picking up so we should be ready to go at any time. Providing the combine is. Come to think of it I need to fuel the old girl up. Then it’s another day in paradise out here in the sticks.
Were still rockin’ the Paradise …….

Loaded out another semi this evening and started on the last farm, the home place. Cut quite a swath along the west side across the creek. I think both loads today went to Bunge.
