We got started at the same time today...well, Al did. Marilyn got lunches ready while he combined enough to finish last night's load. After Marilyn showed up with the fuel, Al took the load into town while she serviced the combine, then got back to work.
We got the field done, then put the header into transport mode and figured out how we were going to make the move to the field at Carmen. After Al got directions, we decided to take the combine and tractor first, which meant the combine was going to have to pull its own header. The roads were way to narrow to move with it on and it was about 15 miles.
We got to the farm, put the header on and Marilyn started cutting a patch until Ron and Leoti showed up to give us a ride back for the pickup and General. While Al took the General to Cherokee to dump, Marilyn went back to the field and started combining again.
Al got back with the General and had a short wait until Marilyn had enough for a load, then hauled it into Carmen. He got back with the General and ran back in with the pickup to get fuel for the combine...the low fuel alarm had just gone off.
Marilyn filled the General one last time before shutting down to fuel up and call it a night. The wind was still blowing, but it had cooled off to a balmy 88ºF...and it's the first day of summer. Depressing that the days will now be getting shorter.
Tomorrow we might just be done combining in Oklahoma...
