View of the day-Getting the rigs serviced before getting started on a good day of combining...well, a good half day, anyway.
Well, we do have the 8am rule...when we're working at least. Lately we have been going with 8am Pacific since we haven't had much to do in the morning.
We had a morning visit from a fellow Canadian harvester who had just gotten into the area. After coffee and a catch up on how the season was progressing it was time to get some work done.
The farmer said he would call us around 4pm to let us know if it would go, so we had lunch then went back to the camper to wait for the call. We decided that we might as well go out to the combine and service it and just wait around out at the field...in case it would be good to go sooner. And it was...around 2:30pm.
Al kept hopping in the tractor and cart while Marilyn and Casey combined until 10pm to get the field done. Marilyn actually got to use the lights on the combine...it's been a while since that has hap
pened. We are caught up to the spring wheat/rye now and there is rain in the forecast, so tomorrow we will both get to take a trip into Pierre and see the sights along the way.
Marilyn has a few exchanges to make...
