We woke up to hard water this morning...really hard...frozen-like. Good thing the holding tank had a reserve...and the water pump was actually working this season.
Al was up early to get the trucks unloaded, then he moved the General close to the next field that we were heading to. Marilyn met him by the General, then we went back to get the combine moved over, so we could get an actual patch cut to park off the highway north of Balcarres. Bob showed up and gave us a ride to get the other pickup and the tractor and cart. With everything moved we were ready to start making dust.
Al only had a short haul to the elevator and we only had about 50 acres on this patch, so we were done with plenty of daylight to spare...so Marilyn moved six miles south to the field that the donkey was in. Surely it was drier that the 22% moisture from a week ago. It was.
Al told Marilyn to keep combining while he got help from Bob's mom and dad, to get the rest of the rigs moved over. The elevator had closed at 5pm...it is the weekend, after all...so we only had the trucks and cart to fill. Marilyn had the General loaded before Al had gotten the last vehicle...the grain cart...to the field, so it didn't take long before had them loaded and were done for the day.
We got back to the camper, got cleaned up, then went over to the house to have supper with Bob and Jeannie. After dining and having a visit, we called it a night and headed back to the camper.
Another night of freezing temps...
