Came back from holiday yesterday, the man couldn't wait and had started Friday, I finished the wheat this evening and into the beans tomorrow after I've found what the ticking noise that appeared just on the last run after I picked up a bloody great stone.
He'd already bent half a dozen straw elevator slats after blocking the drum with a big stone on Saturday. The worst thing he did was snap the effin gear lever off, and it's not a hydrostatic, and left me a length of pipe that just about fits on the stub. I found it easier to just grab what's left as anything else keeps knocking the ignition switch off.
Even though the moisture got down to 12.1% it still wasn't fit, just couldn't get a good sample, yes it'll do but it wasn't the best I've done.

Well, I got the spicy cough a couple of weeks ago

knocked me bloody hard the first week, all I wanted to do was sleep, but I was coughing all the time & was constantly short of breath.
Couldn’t think straight, still can’t. Was on the phone to someone in the first week & said “sorry, I can’t think of the words I need or know how to say what I want to say” . . .
Over it now, but think I’m up for “long covid”. Still short of breath, easily tired, no stamina & still got “brain fog”
Was driving today & had trouble tearing open the plastic wrap around a 6 pack. Thought I’d be clever ( cos I forgot to put my Leatherman knife on my belt this morning ) & use a cigarette lighter to open it. While driving. I used the lighter to melt the wrap, but it caught fire & filled the cab with burning plastic smoke 🤦‍♂️
While driving at 100km / hr on a gravel road 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Droughted maize drilled into "sprayed off" lucerne. The lucerne regrowth was going to clog up the forager maize header, so we are mowing the lot and going to try to pick it up with the JF forager. There are some half decent milky cobs in the maize.

The rest of the lucerne is now over 50% flowered, so cut and put 3 into 1 when still green to avoid leaf shatter, and hope for rain and a good 4th cut.
When everything else is brown and dying, the lucerne is the one bright (green) spot.
