Yesterday was a long first day in the hay fields of summer! Jake and I and Great Grandma got all the tractors up and going... and things all hooked up to them to go to the hay field. Jake changed the oil and filters in all of them, cleaned out the mower, greased the equipment, and checked and filled the transmissions... we overlooked the power steering on the Ford, but on the trip over to the Kastle Place, I found out that we did... haha.. I could not hardly keep it in the road. It does have the cylinder under the tractor all wet, so it's leaking out... but anyway, we have it filled up and ready to go. Great Grandma made her usual 4 trips to town to get oils, filters, etc. It would not be summer if she didn't do that, haha..... Jake is going to mow this am while I catch up a couple of websites. Then he heads off to work, and we will rake it this evening. We will be working in the north love grass field on Kastle Place, as it's one of the smaller fields, and if I remember right, the baler is having a closing problem - one side is not catching and the back gate is sprung. It that's correct we will try to bale the North side tomorrow and zip the baler to John Deere to fix it for us...
Judge's have started working the wheat ground on Kastle Place. I have not asked Kenny how the wheat did, but probably not to well. They were getting docked about 10% for trash in grain.. rye, and the moisture was high, so not sure...
Looks like summer is here, 100 degree days forecast, and NO RAIN still... wow.. just wish it would shower some.. would be really cool... haha..
Austyn has his last TBall game this evening, and if I get home in time from raking, I am going to try to make it.
Ann did really well with Madison yesterday. She took off a couple of weeks to help Heather make the adjustment from home to work again.. and besides.. she is doing what she loves and is really good at.... actually she never misses work and has lots of time she is losing so she decided to take off some... I think she needs to do this when we can go back down to new orleans... yelp, I sure do...
welp.. gotta close this deal out.. have a great day.... I do know Jonathan is in Tulsa, Heather had a good first day back at work... Paul goes back to work this coming weekend. And I know that yesterday, Madison had on her WHITE dress.... wow.. Heather, how long will that last??? girl in white.. haha.. in the red dirt of Oklahoma? Bet Andrew will fix that deal, huh??? He will help her "color" it.. haha..
later all.. enjoy the day
