Hit and miss

A forecast of hit and miss showers have kept the men out of the hay field the last few days.  Yesterday, the showers missed, but we have a system moving through this evening with thunderstorms.  More chances linger in the forecast so I don't expect any more hay baling this week.

Quentin continues to work on the combine in anticipation of corn harvest.  He mostly finished with the adjustments and such on the combine itself last week and has now turned his attention to the corn header.  I've heard a little grumbling, of course, but we agreed that the time spent on adjustments now is better than fixing a broken combine mid-harvest!  However, tomorrow he will be making his third trip this week to the parts dealer so I can understand the frustrations.  He also plans to begin getting the drill ready.  He'd like to get some cover crops in as soon as the corn is out of the fields.

Nice kernels!
