Too funny. It won't load.

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

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.

106 the high here so far. Tomorrow I will be on my 20th cutting of grass/clover mix. No baling here, just cut and bag. One of the Vasqueros use to pick it up for feeding his cows. By using lawn clippings, he fed several head on 10 unirrigated acres. He bought in the spring and sold in the fall. He mowed lawns in the spring, summer, and fall, and fed his cows, then in the winter worked feeding for big ranches. He retired and his wife turned their acreage into a horse training place.

Now he leans on the corral and enjoys a cold drink. He and his wife are citizens, so they love to brag about cold drinks and making their own ICE.

We are done haying. Shortest haying season ever, in more ways than one. I think we got
25 ton total. Oh well, our hope is that we get fall moisture and snow in the mountains.
People are having problems with wells going dry. Hopefully that won't happen to us. We had to drill a new well and it is 280' deep. The drillers got water at less depth but they advised us to go deeper. Our water is great. .1 of hardness. They said we could sell water.
Of course we won't.
Hopefully we can go to the mountains now. But it is only 10 degrees cooler up there.
Just praying for NO FIRES!!
