View of the day-Al starts the day with a full hopper on the combine with the wind blowing hard again and the temp hitting 102º on the Napa sign in Cherokee.
Another hot windy day Al unloaded the truck from last night then went out to start combining while Marilyn got things organized back at the camper.
We finished the field we were on around 4:00 then we had a 8 mile move to the last field for John, it was a 70 acre patch Marilyn got going by 5:00 and Al took a load into to the elevator at 7:30, unloaded, then he stayed in to watch the hockey game…Vancouver won 3-2 in overtime.
Marilyn meanwhile had the cart and combine to fill…or finish the field whichever came first. She got the field done and after filling the slip tank with fuel at the Coop, got back to the camper by 10:00 PM. A 130 acre day and with a move…not too bad.
The elevator won’t open until 11:00 AM because it is Sunday, so we might move the combine, header and cart to Carmen first then unload after that, where we have one more field of wheat to go. The weather is more of the same…hot, hot, hot and windy…so we may get done with the wheat by tomorrow night, then we move to the canola.
It is now midnite and it’s still almost 80º… glad the AC in the camper keeps it cool…
