Today, Friday, looks like the last of the good weather.

We've just been continuing on routine chores. We're waiting to hear about the pregnancy test on the Angus. Verne overnight mailed the samples Wednesday afternoon and was assured by the Post Office that the lab would be sure to have them by 3PM Thursday. Well, they arrived this morning and it takes a day to get the results. So, hopefully, tomorrow, we'll know.

Yesterday was not a good one in our town. An older farmer who was an acquaintance of ours was killed in a farm related accident. We don't know the details but we offer our condolences to his family. Today, several neighbors worked to get the rest of his crop in. It is nice to live in a communiuty where people have old fashioned values of helping a neighbor in need.

The Farm Agent came out this afternoon to look over our operation. We had a nice visit that was cut short when I had to go on a fire call just down the road. Thankfully, it was just a burnt out appliance motor.

I also got copies of our farm maps from Farm Service Agency. I was pleased that my estimate for soybean acreage was within a half acre of the maps. I also spoke to the grain elevator folks and confirmed how many bushels we have stored.

So, lots of little things done. The electrician came last night and tonight to trench in some electric and water lines. He seems to be busy in the day light with other work. We worked late both nights. He promised to be here tomorrow morning to finish up. If he does, it looks like we'll be working in the rain.
