Just call me Julia Child

I took the troops lunch yesterday. There were 4 of them working & it was SUCH a nice day - I decided to grill burgers for them. I had 8, count 'em, 8 buns & all the fixins laid out on the counter & stove. I was gonna drive Brad's new pick up truck out to the field since: #1-I never get to drive it. #2-to give my Explorer a break. #3-It's a farm truck & I was going to a farm. Well - the joke was on me 'cuz Brad texted me & said, "Eric drove my truck out to the field." (Eric is one of our helper troops) I was like WHAAAAAA?! Dang it! How convenient that I never get to drive it & they tell Eric "Just bring Brad or Brian's truck either one..." And he picks Brad?! Does anyone smell a conspiracy theory?!
The troops were running the grain cart when I got there & Brad was on the other side of the creek running corn. I even thought for a milli-second about driving his truck over the creek ('cuz one time we were there in MY Explorer & Brad wanted me to drive it acrosss the creek. Hmph!). But Eric told me I better not. Conspiracy - I.am.telling.you....
So I didn't even get to see Brad when I dropped off lunch. But I guess my previous post guilted him into taking pics of all the dried mud in the corn. The pics are compelling & they speak for themselves - but ya'll know that's not gonna happen. That's just how I roll.
See how you can barely see the corn through the dust flying?!
If you look closesly at the bottom of the pic, you can see the noses on the head. They are red & stick out like sore thumbs-normally. The combine also has lights all over it shining down on them & the corn so you can run after dark. Notice how you can barely see them?!

Kinda freaky seeing all the dust lingering in the valley.

For the record I had nothing to do with Eric driving my truck. He talked to Brian and he told him to drive mine or his truck didn't matter. I told Eric when he got there his name was mud!!!
