After 11 days of no harvesting (yes, 11, I can't believe it), they are back at it. Today it is sunny, windy and 80+ degrees so it should be a good drying day. The forecast looks good for the week so our nephew from South Dakota came to help out. We're hoping to get a third combine to come help, too. They put the new reels on the headers this week, and they are working well. I spent most of today outdoors. First I went for a walk, then mowed the yard and then washed my car. The gale force winds finally drove me indoors where I have a few chores to do.
Yesterday M, R and I vaccinated another group of calves in the morning. In the afternoon M, R and J went to haul more hay and M brought in another load this morning. R brought his dog, Trip, along yesterday. Three weeks ago he whacked his head on the door of the service truck. He had a little bump which got bigger and bigger until his eye was swollen shut. R took him to the vet last week and the vet thought he might have a clotting problem especially given the swelling that occurred when he was neutered. He sent blood to a lab but the lab results came back normal so now he's not sure what the problem is. The good news is that the bump is finally going down, but they shaved half his head so he looks a little goofy. R thinks he needs pet insurance since Trip has had a rough life and just turned 1.
I'm wishing I didn't have to go to work the next two days since the guys will be busy in the field, and I'd rather be there.
