View of the day-The pull-type combine leads the self-propelled with the Moose Mountains in the background.
First thing Al went into the local Coop at Carlyle to get the pickup belt re-laced that we had taken off the header yesterday. After getting lunch together it was off to Kisbey to continue picking up the wheat.
We finished the first patch and moved about four miles NE to another field that had three different pieces of wheat. With three machines working together in the small fields, it didn't take long to lap things up. It seemed to be a race against the weather on the last field as the lightning show to the west was quite spectacular and we were expecting the high winds and rain to kick in at any moment. We did manage to get finished and had time to blow some of the chaff off the combine before heading back to Carlyle.
Not much of an entry when you are parked in the combine for 11 hours going around in circles. Back at the camper the lightning was still flashing and there were a few sprinkles, but no down pour.
But the night is young...
