View of the day-Al blows out the rads while Marilyn stays in the cab waiting for ignition orders.Cloudy and overcast…it didn’t look promising for combining. We had some work to do on the combine, so we hooked up the shop trailer and started out for the field. We decided to stop for eggs at the Esso and made it just under the wire for breakfast, then it was off to work.
The clouds were starting to clear off as Al got the compressor running to blow out the air filters and rads. Marilyn worked on the windows that had gotten pretty nasty from the combination of canola dust and rain. After getting the windows on our combine clean and having some time to kill, she went over to the Masseys to work on their windows…she got one done and quit. Those machines are not very ergonomic in the window cleaning department…curves, hinges and no handles…very precarious.
Once the combine was ready for action…should that happen later on…we went back to the camper, where Marilyn worked on the computer, getting caught up on work that had been piling up. Al went out and visited with the guys who were cleaning things up in the yard…then they decided to crank up and do a truckload or two.
An eight acre day…
