View of the day-What a difference a year makes...almost a year. This is the very spot where that poor combine almost sunk into oblivion...or China. Last years picture included.

We were up early and on the road to Carlyle to bring the combine back to Langbank. Fortunately, all we had last night was thunder and lightning...no rain. 

Al started rolling as soon as he got dropped off at the combine, while Marilyn went into town to run some errands, then dropped some stuff off for Marg at the farm.

While Al was on the road, Marilyn went out to get the header hooked up to the Dodge, then started out after him. With the header in transport, 40kmh is the top speed, so it was another slow trip, but even with Al's head start Marilyn got to the yard right behind him.

We put the header on, then moved out to the field and started combining in the spring wheat. It is yielding over 60 bushels/acre so the truckers are really busy...not to mention the cart driver. The Massey is back in the field with us, so with three rigs running, it's no surprise he's hopping.

We shut down around 9pm after another 100+ acre day for us.

Not bad considering the move...
