Well, the guys are really working. The grain carts pull up along side the combines and they dump on the run. When the carts are full it's time to fill the trucks. Then the semis are off to the elevators. Some of the elevator guys start losing their sense of humor. You shouldn't hear what the farmers say if something breaks down, but we've heard it all before. They ought to find time to come down to the cafe. Right behind the combines somebody is ready with a big four wheeler to start digging.
This doesn't even stop at night. When it gets dark the lights go on the combines, trucks and tractors. You can hear it all running in the night. Then, usually, when the other machinery quiets down you can hear dryers running before morning. There aren't many drying this fall though because it has been pretty dry.
The guys don't spend much time in here reading the want ads or shooting dice for lunch. Everybody just has time to grab a sandwich or something and coffee and then they're off. We've been filling up a lot of thermoses. Some of the guys like those little pies or candy bars and other stuff they can take along.
The heck of it is we're still short handed.
