Arrived about 1:30 alone. Field looks nice, smooth, flat, soft. It is warm, sunny, good breeze from the west-northwest. Jim was working on the pumps at the southeast corner of the field. Jim says they might plant rice next week. A new check has been added to the north of our tower running east west and a tractor was working there.

All systems okay. Still running on sign generator.
