We got out to the field, then started organizing the spread out equipment to get everything where it needed to be to start the cleaning process. Marilyn got started on the straight header...cursing the engineers who managed to create so many hidey-holes for the straw and chaff to get jammed in. At least we finally had a good wind to help with the cleaning and the temperature was in the low 80's...beautiful.
Once the header was done, she started on the combine until Al brought over the high transport trailer to load and strap it down. Al had been busy getting the combine trailer turned around to face out...when we got here we just unloaded and left everything where it sat. After getting the header where it belonged, we got the combine parked on the trailer, then started with the tractor and cart.
We wanted to get at least one thing loaded and strapped down before our 2:30pm harvest windup dinner at the house. We got the tractor and cart on the trailer and got it hooked up to the Freight, then Al turned the whole rig around so it would be ready for tomorrow morning.
We got back to the camper, got cleaned up, then had a delicious dinner with Bob, Jeannie, Blaine(the other trucker) and Bob's parents George and Martha.
After lunch, we went into Fort Qu'Appelle to take a look at some sofas...we are badly in need of a new one...but the selection was wayyyy too big for Marilyn to make up her mind. We killed a couple of hours in town, then met Roger and Linda for a late snack, then it was back to the camper.
Al had CFL football to watch on TV, so we had to get back for that and Marilyn decided to book off early to rest up for tomorrow's move.
Got to get the General's load hooked up before we move load #1...
