We took it easy this morning while we came up with a "plan" for loading and moving. Getting the trailers from the bins to the card lock at Leibenthal, where the combine and tractor were parked. It was also a day to give the compressor some action by getting the header and combine blown off for the move to South Dakota.
Marilyn went over to the Refrigeration business down the street to see if they would be able to help get the ice machine working in the RV fridge. They couldn't help, but gave a number of someplace that could and after calling the RV place in town and getting the low down on how to test the old solenoid to see if it was working correctly, Marilyn gave it a try.
The fridge is under warranty, but it has to be assessed by an authorized dealer before they can do anything...and they are either too far away or too busy. Marilyn is confident that, as with the water pump, we can fix this...as long as we have the right part. We picked up a new solenoid at the RV place and paid $50 more that we would have online...but was it worth having it in hand? Once it is installed, there is no returning it, so we have to make sure it is the problem...chicken and egg dilemma again.
We grabbed a quick lunch, then headed for the bins, got the trailers hooked up to the grain trucks, then moved the General and the pickup head over to Leibenthal. We went back to the bins and got the Freight and the shop trailer...now everything but the little shop trailer and the camper were there.
Marilyn started cleaning the straight header and combine off, while Al got the grain trucks cleaned and serviced. We loaded the straight header on the high speed transport and got it lined up to leave, then hooked the shop trailer behind the combine trailer. We have nothing but time, so we didn't kill ourselves getting the big stuff loaded...that will wait until we move to LaCrosse with the camper tomorrow.
We quit around 6pm and came back to Great Bend for supper and called it a night...more planning for the rest of the week...
