View of the day-The self-propelled combine taking care of the outside round.
A day we never saw the sun, but we combined just the same. We went over to Kisbey just after lunch and started in on the last 40 acres of oats. It tested dry enough but as soon as we got rolling it started to sprinkle. We kept on combining through about eight different showers. Every time it would start to rain we would finish a round and decide to quit, then the rain would quit and we just kept on going. By the time we got to the last round the rain had really started to fall but that didn't stop us from finishing.
While Al unloaded the truck in the rain, Marilyn got the combine fueled up and roaded it the 20 miles back to Carlyle. When Al got back with the pickup and shop trailer, he enlisted Kim to go back with him to bring back the grain truck. Right after they left the yard the rain started pouring down which we're pretty sure will put a stop to any thoughts of combining tomorrow.
Maybe we will move the tractor, cart and header to Esterhazy...
