View of the day-Sunset at Hamill, SD
We were up early to get on the road so we could get the whole gang back together here in Hamill. We stopped in Bassett, NE for a quick sub before continuing on to Ansley...the traffic was a lot slower, which was nice. It was sale day in Bassett and the cattle trucks were lined up and down the streets like grain trucks in Oklahoma...it looked like they would be a while getting loaded, at least we hoped they would.
We got to Ansley, got the pickup fueled while the General aired up, then hooked up the header and started back to Hamill. Once again, there were no combines in the fields at all...of course, the road we take through Nebraska doesn't have a lot of wheat fields, so that doesn't count. Another plus was the lack of wind...yes, it was a straight shot and it seemed like we got to Hamill in no time at all.
We got the trailer backed in beside the cart trailer and unloaded the combine before going across the street to the camper. Al went back to work changing the oil on the pickup and blowing out the air filters on the combine, then came back to the camper and called it a day. So now we have everything ready to start whenever the wheat is ready and with no rain in the forecast, we could be doing a test before you know it.
Tomorrow we hit Winner to get permits and perhaps a wheel alignment on the header trailer...
