View of the day-Two days in a row and this time Al gets to put in some seat time.
Al unloaded the General, fueled the combine and was combining before 10am! A promising day.
Marilyn got out and took over the combining and Al went back to his grain hauling and trap line emptying...that makes 5 mice caught. Except for the fact that the temperature was 50 degrees colder, we could have been in Oklahoma at the start of the harvest season...the combines had cranked up all around us. With the canola being as dusty as it was, we could pretty much count the plumes of dust to see how many machines were running.
We got the field finished, then moved a few miles NW to the next field and after making a couple of rounds, Marilyn had to take a short break to show the camper to someone who was stopping in after the big craft show in Carlyle. Al got to run the combine again until she got back and except for a short supper break, she stayed in until we called it a day around 9:30pm. It was starting to get tough and the rotor dropped down a couple of times, making Marilyn a bit gun shy...no sense in creating a 'make work' project by plugging the rotor. But still it was a good 105 acre day, even with the move.
The wind is blowing pretty hard, could be another early morning...
