View of the day- The combines waiting for servicing and the seeding rig ready to chase them down.Al was up early to get some servicing done on the combine and Marilyn got to sleep in for an extra half hour and woke up to rain on the roof of the camper. It sprinkled on and off for about an hour, then the sun broke through and it looked like it was going to be a great day for combining.
It might have been a great day for combining, but Marilyn’s phone had crashed and after calling Sasktel support, they said the only way to reload the software was at a Sasktel dealer or online…the latter would not work because we use the phone to connect to the internet. On Sunday, the only dealer in the area that was open, was in Regina, about 65 miles from Balcarres...Marilyn had a road trip.
We went into Balcarres for brunch, then went back to the field just a big dark cloud started our way and before long, the rain was falling again
…road trip was on. Al stayed at the camper, since they were pretty sure it would only be a couple of hours until they could start on the canola and Marilyn left for Regina.They got combining about 45 minutes after Marilyn left and were just finishing the field and getting ready to move when she got back at 5pm. After getting everything moved to the next field, all four machines went to work again and got the first 70 acre patch done in one hour and fifteen minutes…nice flat ground and good dry swaths helped a lot, yes indeed. We got the next patch done, then moved across the canyon to the rest of the field and after the truck drivers left the field one at a time until Al was just left, we got the trucks and the combines full, then called it a day…at midnight.
The morning is going to come early…
