Al was out unloading the trucks first thing in the morning, then he got the combine serviced for Marilyn, who was getting lunch ready back at the camper. She got out to the combine right at 10am and after washing the windows, started combining.
We had crossed the line in the wheat field, where the late seeded stuff was and the moisture was just a bit too high. Fortunately, the next field was just across the road where the bin was set up, so it was a short move...and it was dry enough. Before we got everything moved over, Al figured we should get the auger moved to the next bin, so he got Marilyn to climb to the top to open the lids on both of them, so that all he would have to do was move the auger over when the bin was full.
Al took a sample of this next field in to town to see if we had won the "get to haul to the elevator" lottery...and we had. Marilyn started combining and didn't take a break until Al brought her a pop from town at 7:30pm.
Al got both trucks full, then left the cart for Marilyn to fill and went back to the camper. Marilyn finished combining around 9:30pm and had covered 126 acres...a darn good day.
More of the same tomorrow...
