View of the day-The farmers combine trying to get the last swath of canola into his hopper before the sun goes down. Fortunately, Marilyn had enough room left to help out.

We were making dust before 10am and it was going through the combine "like butter". We made pretty good time and had another combine come into the field mid-afternoon to help finish off the last quarter on this section.

There was another encounter with a skunk today, but this time it made itself seen by running along the canola swath ahead of the combine. Even the hawks wouldn't take advantage of this delectable snack. It ran into the swath and Marilyn had thought of just moving over to the next swath to avoid it, but, the lord hates a coward, so she continued to the end. Didn't take the "stink cat" in and never saw...or smelled...it again.

We finished the field just at sunset and Al had a half a truck load to dump in the bin. Unfortunately, the bin would only hold a quarter of a load, so they had to change the auger to a new bin.

We are going to need the furnace tonight...
