Kim got the last few rounds of wheat combined, then the guys got the trucks unloaded at the bin. We got the grain cart and combines moved back to the yard.
Kim was concerned for his canola, due to the strong wind forecast...those swaths would shell out if the wind started them rolling and they are woven so tightly together that when one part goes, it takes a long stretch with it. While Kim changed out his concaves to go into the canola, we got the straight header loaded on the high-speed transport trailer and hooked up the pickup head.
Once Kim was ready to go, he went across the road from the yard to the canola to get a sample to test. He had only made it a few yards, when his feeder kept shutting off and after further inspection, we discovered he hadn't taken the transport locks off the header.
Marilyn had a theatre meeting and rehearsal in Yorkton at 5:30, so Al told her they would be able to handle the short haul to the yard and she could go. She wasn't so sure, but he kept insisting she go, finally admitting that he really wanted to combine for a change. She didnt' need any convincing.
She got to Yorkton, had the meeting, then had the first read through of the new play that will be going to a competition in early November, then will be the entertainment for the group's annual dinner theatre, Nov. 22,23,Dec.7,14. This time it is a small part and only because they were short actors, did she agree to take the part.
By the time everything was finished it was 10pm and she still had to drive 120 miles back to Carlyle, so that is the reason for the late blog.
Better late, than never...
