YIKES! record breaking heat is coming

It is 93 -95 depending on which one you believe. I have 130 bales to pick up and put in the stack. My plan is to start at 5:00 in the morning and quit before noon. Maybe before 10:00. 8 bales per load on y trailer. A little under an hour per load. 16 loads. This will take a few days. But my open station tractors the heater works real good this time of the year. The AC works great in January.
 
It is shy of the record but pretty darn warm. I hauled hay this morning. For some reason the bales were at the two ends of the field. So when I finished the east end I drove the loader tractor to the west end and walked back 300 = yards to get the truck and trailer. At 9:30 it was 83 already I decided to get familiar with the AC in the house
 
Yesterday was 99, ugh. Today is 85 and cloudy.
We bought hay in the windrow in Baker Valley so spent the hot afternoons hauling it home. Kinda nerve wracking being 12 foot wide on a windy road! Luckily we didn't have much traffic, 8 1/2 loads with two trailers. I drove the tractor home on the half load.
 
We cut. baled. hauled and wrapped 365 bales of fall Triticale for silage.. 18 mile haul so Lane was busy.
It was so hot yesterday the engine on the wrapper kept over heating. Lane got the rest of the bales home that I made and we went out about 8 and started wrapping again. I held a leaf blower on the engine until it it cooled off enough it kept running. Tammy and Kendra are the experts on running the wrapper Finished about 11:30
we all are exhausted

Yesterday 107 calling for 103 today and tomorrow, we have been hauling water...
 
I think I've stated here that we have had a great Spring this year.Here is proof of it. My Son's best friend just baled 310, 5x5.5 bales of grazer off of 80 acres on it's 1st cutting. Dry land, black dirt plot, just below his house. He'll probably get another 200 bales off it in August if it doesn't burn off.
