Ralph,
     I was loading corn out of a steel bin yesterday.  It has a bin 
sweep, but you need to clear a little grain out to get the thing in the 
bin.  That, unfortunately, is done with the shovel.  One thirty PM 
during a cloudless day, 94 degrees Fahrenheit.  Must have been at least 
130F or more in that bin.  Got it opened up and ready for the sweep and 
called it a day.  I need to load the semi again before Monday morning if 
possible.  Hope my nephews get that sweep in there, or their corn might 
just have to wait awhile.  I am busy hauling for others that just simply 
load me.  I like that better.:-) Family is always a little "funny" to 
work for.
     What kind of potatoes do you raise and when did you get them in?  
My potatoes are not quite ready for the "new" potato eats. Close, 
though.  Probably a couple days.  Got too hot for the peas to go with 
them.  They are finished.  Nothing quite like new potatoes and peas 
creamed together.
