View of the day-Dam beavers...busy little buggers, aren't they?
Up early again...Al to unload the trucks and Marilyn to service the combine. We were rolling just after 10am and although it we should have only had 100 acres left to do, it seemed like the field would never end. It was another windy day and there was a threat of severe weather to the south of us, but we never had any of it come close. We did see lightning, so we're not out of the woods yet.

Marilyn had her friend from Yorkton come down for the day with Robin's coffee and ghostbuster donuts...a nice treat. She decided to stay until the field was finished and help shuttle Al around after he had both trucks full. Every time she counted how many swaths were left, there seemed to be one more that the time before...hard to figure that one out.
Al had miscalculated how much was left in the field...underestimating by quite a bit so the farmer had to start a new bin in the dark and bring his two trucks over to help get the last of the barley off the field...what a sad state to be in...we should be so lucky. We could have brought a different color machine in and thrown most of it out the back so it would have fit in the bin...
A gorgeous night, really warm for the first day of fall and the low night temperatures are going to be as warm as the high on Saturday...that crazy weather...
At least we finally got the barley done...

Well, if you would of had a green combine the farmer would'nt of had to worry about moving the auger in the dark. The auger would have already been moved to the new bin earlier in the day.
