    Saw those storms on radar luckily we didn't get any of that... there's always those early birds that want to try and cut.

    Boss pays for it or it'd never get done. Hey, I got 8 drive wheels and a partially locking differential, close enough. I hit the mud holes at 40mph just in case. :biggrin_2559:

    Yeah, it was down in OK off 281. Grabbed the loader and brought it back into KS and now I'm pulling out of Attica. I noticed that guy with the obama statue in Pratt now has two of them and they're both wearing Nixon masks. :biggrin_2559:

    That's great.

    We are to get 4" in the next 36 hrs. Crops are drowning out as the soil is saturated.

    They haven't gone far. Kansas is crawling with them.

    Had an article in our newspaper today about all the custom cutters in southern KS waiting for it to dry out. To say they were getting antsy would be an understatement.
