View of the day-A break for a delicious lunch out in the field...another gorgeous day, too.
We got the fueling and servicing done early and were cutting wheat by 10am. We got quite a chunk done, then when Jean showed up with the lunch, we all took a break. The field came together quickly with three machines running and before we knew it...it was time to move to a different field.
Al had been hauling with Big Gen and had noticed a vibration that had been getting progressively worse and on one of his trips back from the elevator, he discovered what it was. The back u-joint by the transmission had given it up. Fortunately his truck wasn't needed, so he limped in into a canola field that had already been combined, then got picked up by Blaine when he came back from the elevator.
Marilyn had the header unhooked and into transport by the time Al got back to the field, so we started the move south of Balcarres...about 10 or so miles. When we got there we got the header back on the combine, then took the guys back to the field to get the other vehicles moved to the new field. Then it was back to combining.
Marilyn finished her side of the field and by then it was time to quit, so she waited until Al got back from unloading at the bins, then we went home to the camper to clean up.
Tomorrow the General gets fixed...
