View of the day-The canola stands high waiting for the combine to cut it down to size. Marilyn was up early to go into Staples for a few hours. She had to pretend to be a cashier to cover for the regular guy who was attending his grandmothers funeral. The cavalry came in at 10:30am, so she was able to go back home, change, then get ready to head for the canola.
Al was fueling up the pickup when she got home, and after stopping in town to grab a quick snack, we were off to the field. Al did a test and Marilyn ran it over to Jeff's to test it...it was as 'dry' as it was yesterday when we started. By the time Marilyn had gotten back to the field with the sample, Al had finished it and it was time to move the rigs to the next patch just down the road. Conveniently, as Marilyn was coming back from Jeff's, the farmer was just in front of her and he helped us to move.
Once everything was parked close at hand, it was business as usual and by the time the lights had been on the combine for a couple hours, the canola had 'dried down' to where we could have gone a lot longer. Of course, we still had the 45 minute drive back home, so once the General was full, we called it quits and headed for home.
A load of laundry and another 15 bags of camper 'stuff' put away and it was time to heed the call of the pillow...
