Late night, no camera...well, no high resolution camera...and a long day of slow going. Marilyn had to use the video camera to take pictures until she gets her good one back from Pam.
We went out and got started in the canola. We had 35 ft swaths that were pretty wet underneath, but the grain was..."dry"ish. Marilyn never did see 3 mph...it was tough to even get to 2 mph without plugging the auger on the header. So it was a day of "shut up and drive".
Al was kept busy hauling with the semi to the bins about 9 miles from the field. We had a cart driver, Garth, who kept the canola away from the combines...it helped that Marilyn was slowing down production. Bob was in a loaner CaseIH 8120 combine, with a much bigger feederhouse, so he could really make time.
We finished the field and moved 3 miles to the next field, around 9:30 pm and did a couple rounds. Bob told Marilyn not to go off the edge of the field...it looked like a downhill run, but it was hard to see because of the trees.
Can't wait to see what it looks like in the daylight...
