Thank YOU GOD!

The Eagle Sys computer says 18 hours thirty-six minutes.

Frank says by mid morning tomorrow, this year will be "in the books!"

Another one for the record books, that much is for sure. The outgoing GM finally agreed this morning, we will eclipse 180,000 bales.

Two years ago we thought we had lived through a once in a life time harvest, and ginning season. 155,889. At that time it was a record. My estimates are that we will end up in the 180,400+ range. An all time new record!

I am beginning to think this is a lot like those once in a life time floods. I think when we lived on Bandera Drive I survived two or three of those. Now we have worked through two "once in a life time ginning seasons".

I can't get excited about moving all the equipment home. I would like to go home and not worry about it for a couple of weeks. But I won't. Experience tells me it won't get any easier. I do have one volunteer to pull one of my trailers home.

Yesterday one of my on the ground people was injured. It seems another employee let the bale squeeze (a forklift attachment for handling bales) down on top of Fernando's foot. We spent four hours in the emergency room but luckily found out the foot was just bruised, not broken. We lost the entire afternoon, but did get some prescriptions for pain and for swelling/inflammation. The employee did show up today to watch the seed house valves, although he was an hour late.

Continue to think and pray for us as our countdown continues.

FATHER, deliver us!
