Nary a drop here. This is getting old, and dry. Trying to replace bearing on baler pickup today. Weather looks good for binding the oats tomorrow. Want to come up and ride the binder? That"s always a treat.

I got .4 starting about midnight Sunday night,but nothing last night. It drizzled for about two hours this morning,but it wasn't really measurable,just enough to keep the hay and wheat straw too damp to bale. There was a line of black clouds that came through around 10:45 or so,I was grinding feed,got a few big drops,but from the look of the radar,it really blew up in to a good sized event right after it passed over me.

The one that stumped me was that one Saturday when I got .35. Stuart said he cut wheat two miles west of me that afternoon. Said it sprinkled a little and made the straw tough for a few minutes was all. Said he kept on cutting.

I talked to a guy in the hardware store yesterday who's about three miles east of town,he said he only got .15 when I got the .4 Sunday night.

So yea,I've just been stripping some of the major parts off that old round baler today. Didn't want to leave it out with a bunch of good stuff on it. I wish I could take the paint off of it and put it on the one I bought. Mine's never sat outside. The one I bought was on the dealer lot for a long time.

rrlund - get any rain last nite?
