Have you ever had one of those days that it didnt pay to get out of bed, Well today was. I walked out of the house this morning to find a flat on the front of my 1 ton, Changed the tire to the spare. Drove to town(12 miles) to get fuel for the combine and truck and had to drive back home because I forgot the check book. Back to town fueled the truck(diesel)up started filling gas cans(4 gallon) and they ran out of gas because they droped the price to $3.18 this morning. Drive to the other side of town to get gas at another station at a higher price $3.24. Got the gas back to the farm but 30 gallon in the combine fired it up and headed to the field to start cutting beans. The first round I found out that the morning glorys were worse than I thought. Stoped a 10 times to clean the auger off. Stoped and duck taped all the bolt heads on the finger guides, Problem solved! Back to cutting, All went good till I went to unload the first bin load and while pulling the auger out the combine died! 4 hours later with a new set of points and condencer, New fuel filter and coil and draining 1/2 gallon of water out of the fuel system she fired up! And now its 5pm woo-ho maybe I can still cut somemore! Well I got another 2 1/2 acres cut before the due set in and stopped me. But the best part of the day was the beans I was cutting (4acres) made 70 bu an acre or better by the way it filled the wagon (hold 320 bu)and its full and heavy! With everything that went wrong today, My old 95 got a good work out cutting those beans and did a real good job doing it even if I had to run slower than normal. Well the sun was out and the air was good and warm and it wasent muddy, A good day. Bandit
