View of the day-The old way-an old wooden bin in the bush, and the new way-massive bins in the background.

We got rockin' early today with a strong wind helping us out. There were a few rogue drops on the window, but the wind was so brisk, the clouds didn't stick around long and it was back to business as usual.

Al had an easier day as the other two combines left to do some standing oats, so Marilyn was the only combine in the field. This made for a more relaxing day and the bins were just across the road...as you could see in the picture...so he just took a couple hoppers at a time and was back in the field lickety-split.

We just carried on the whole day, the only breakdown was before we started and technically it happened last night...the feeder chain jumped a cog...but it only took 15 minutes to set right and we were making dust.

Al sat on the top of the hill waiting at sunset and Marilyn finally got back into a 100+ acre day...a sweet change, but we lost the wind early, so it was an 8pm shut down.

We'll sleep well tonight...
