It’s about to get dry again here, but this afternoon was rainy. I prolly shoulda mowed right through it. I think I gave in during a moment of exhaustion.Weather here has been dryer than a popcorn fart, weird . . .

Back at it on the Massey mowing some bigger acreage. Off in the distance at top of the hill, you can see some stacked bales.

Here I'm waiting for rain to mow. No rain rain in 3-4 months has left the fields tinder dry. Once it rains it can be more safely cut for the end of the season.

Did some more raking & baling yesterday. It was steep enough that it was tough to get a decent picture.
Perfect hot & sunny conditions. Made some beautiful 1850+ LB bales.
Time to clean the cab glass!
