Well, we woke up to rain falling and a band of showers across the river working their way to the east. It wasn't looking too promising.
Al went out early to take off the alternator on the tractor. The light came on the dash yesterday, so he figured he had time to take it off and go get it tested in Bowdle. He came back with a new one.
The sun eventually came out and the wind was drying things down pretty well, so we went out around 3pm to put the alternator on the tractor and do a test. It tested 13.4% and we were off to the races to get the last little bit done. We finished by 5pm and that, was that, for that.
After getting the header into transport and hooked up to the Dodge, we waited until the semi had come down the two track trail, then started back for the farm. After getting the header and combine parked, Al got the oil dropped on the combine for an oil change, then we went back to the field to get the cart and Lauren came along to bring back the other semi.
While Al was bringing back the tractor and cart, Marilyn started cleaning the header and combine off. She just had the header finished when Al showed up and we closed up shop for the day. We went back into town...well, halfway...Marilyn forgot the USB stick in the monitor of the combine and needed it to print out maps for Lauren. Back to the combine we drove to get it.
When we got to town we went to see if the cafe was still open...it was steak time...we were in luck, two times. They were still open and the steak was delicious.
Back at the camper we got cleaned up and called it a night. Big cleaning and loading day tomorrow.
And the pile grows...
