Well the harvest is back in full swing after the rain. Rusty took this photo of the truck lineup early this morning before the test stand opened. They are two wide all the way back to the road. Lake Wilkie is taking over the road as you can see. Even though this is normally just a boggy swamp every other year it’s nearly big enough to water ski on. Don’t the mozzies love it too.
This was his truck for the day, his favourite as she really has some grunt. He’s tipping off milling grain into the bunker here.
We have come to the conclusion that locusts are dumb or blind, we’re not sure which. Every day you hear them crashing into the house or the carport. The sparrows that live in our yard are going to need weight watchers the way they are going, fat is not the word for them. With the abundance of food around they are nesting again.
You can see the locusts flying here. Oh for a camera with a faster shutter speed.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year.
Locusts are dumb AND blind!
