Sunday June 22nd - Went to go to church but they had switched their service and Sunday school so we showed up in time for Sunday school. We didn’t stay but went and had an early lunch. Went to the pool in the afternoon and the park in the evening.

Monday June 23rd - Slept in till nine cause it rained a quarter inch overnight. Hauled a load from Sat. into Hutch and then hooked up the combine trailer and the convertible hopper. I headed for Thomas OK to get the other combine that Clark ran that we left there to wrap up what was left to cut. Got there about seven and Clark and I had everything loaded by ten. Not bad for two guys because loading that header into the hopper is kind of a pain.

Tuesday June 24th - Clark and I left at day break for Leodi KS. It was a 300 mile run and when we got there we dropped the hopper and the combine and headed for Mcpherson with the combine trailer. That was a 180 miles. Loaded up the two combines and headers.

Wednesday June 25th - Left at day break again for Leodi. Arrived about noon and unloaded everything and got to cutting. Cut 450 acres till 11:00 pm. Not bad for only starting at about 2 pm. So from Monday noon till Wednesday noon I drove about 1000 miles. I think I saw all there is to see in Kansas to say the least. Were we are cutting now is a flat as its going to get. Driving here there were times when I could see cars coming at me ten miles away if not more.

Thursday June 26th - Made lots of dust today. The roads are terrible dusty, when you pass another truck you can’t see anything for about ten seconds. When the wind dies down the dust just hangs in the sky. It was a big haze tonight over every dirt road and fields where the combines were running. Cut till 8 pm when it rained enough to shut us down for the day.
