MJ, that is downright classy indeed, nice one!
We have one more day of heat then the cool down and rain shows up this weekend. Scrambling to get the last of the hay baled up but we should luck out and be done before the weather switches. 92 on the bank thermometer here in Mohall NoDak today.

Ben, that is a frikken sweet pic and not something I expected! Details? How is the corn lookin'? Still green? TZ, dude, I am ready to cool down as well! Pheasant season opens up sometime soon but it's been way too warm lately. I know the archery hunters aren't liking it either. Speaking of pheasants, this morning my dad's dog was riding with me in the swather. He loves it cause he can see everything out the full length windows. More than once he sees a bird or critter before I do. Anyway this morning he and I both were watching a 3/4 grown chick run and 'short fly/hop' in front of the header. Thin field so it was easy to see her. Finally I lost sight so I stopped and got out to chase her out of the way. Took a second but I found her, she thought she was hidden and I just grabbed her up. Weird bird, maybe it was sick. That's my big story for the day....grin

We have a bunch of corn planted up on the side of a mountain. The bears were raising hell in our top strip, plus getting into our wrapped hay. We called the game commission, and they brought out a trap. Its a big Calvert pipe with a trap door. Checked the trap this morning and he was inside. Snapped a cellphone pic. The officer said he weighed around 300 and hauled him off.
We started chopping corn today. Little on the wet side but its bagging nicely. Think it'll ton out nicely.

They basically just sit on their ass, and pull all of the stocks down around them. There were 3-4 spots about 15' in diameter. I've seen fields with 50-60' of damage. So we're hoping we nipped the problem in the bud.

Weather has even good here. 1 week of temps pushing 100 this summer, but overall pretty mild. 50s for lows and. 70s for highs now. Last Friday my buddies lab with my first ever teal.

I was out at first light, camera in hand.
Fog pretty much looks like fog everywhere, and we had cumulus right down on the deck 'til well into morning (0700).
Maybe Ma�ana.

Sam - what kind of baler were you using in the OP?
Mog - I remember my sister-in-law running a swather with child asleep on the floor - seems the sound & vibration put them out quickly!

I figured it would be about that bad.....grin Luckily we only have a few stray coons but damn are they messy. GTC, fog is a good sign though? We always thought so, mark fog days down on the calendar and 90-100 days later it's gonna rain! Sticking with the water theme. Week ago today(not Fall quite yet, via mobile device aka war pony). Last 2 trees in southern Canada died.

Mark, that's a NH BR7090. My dad found a deal on a slightly used one from ND.
