View of the day-The old and the new. Marilyn combines next to a few old combines in the farmers yard.

Another beautiful fall day, perfect for harvesting...and harvest we did. Al was dealing with small bins so he had to move the auger quite often seeing as the wheat was running around 60 bu/ac.

We finished the remainder of the first field then moved the combine to the next field...quite a task. The field was a stones throw across from the one we were on, but it was across a creek valley so we had to drive the long way around with the combine. The rest of the rigs were able to get through the 'Pete's Pass' through the valley...very scenic but rough.

Once all the bins were full it was to dark to move the auger over from the bin so we just filled the truck and cart then started a pile on the ground, which is where the rest of it will go now that there are no bins left. We made 100 acres today and quit around 9:30pm.

More fabulous weather to come...
