View of the day-Al driving the combine on the trailer for the trip home.

We had an early morning lined up as we got into Yorkton to fuel up and meet with the trucker that was going to haul the combine home. After exchanging information, we hit the road.

We hadn't gotten far from town when we ran into some rain...and then through some really heavy rain that gave the wipers a workout. The oddest thing was that there was lightning...in October...something you don't often see in these parts. However, by the time we got to Kipling, dust was flying on the gravel roads.

We got to the farm, got the truck lined up and got the combine loaded and chained down. All we had to do was drive the combine on...the trucker did the rest while we watched. Al is really liking this part of the harvest. Once we had the sign up on the pilot vehicle, we were on our way. Marilyn in the pilot vehicle, the combine load, followed by Al in the General.

We made it to Yorkton...the rain had all but stopped, then got the combine unloaded and went for lunch before taking the combine back to the farm. Marilyn had play rehearsal, so Al caught a ride back into town to bring the General home.

And it's almost done for the season...almost...
