The day started with lots of promise...sun shining, wind blowing...but then the clouds came in. Fortunately, no rain out of the deal, but it was slow going.
We went out to the field around 1pm to try and shorten the grain elevator chain while we were waiting to see if the canola was dry enough to start. We could see the test combine was making pretty good dust and by the time the sample went in for testing, we got the word to crank up. The chain would have to wait.
We had all five machines running, backed up by two carts, so we thought we could make good time. It was still pretty tough going through the combine, which did slow us down. Still, we did manage to get 400 acres done between us...not bad for starting at 2:30pm.
Marilyn was on a mouse mission. We are up to 9 trapped so far, so she went into Kipling to add shaved Irish Spring soap to the list of preventatives.
If nothing else it smells nice in the camper...
