View of the day-A very dusty day. Good thing the cart drivers could find us.

Out to the field early, serviced and rolling to finish off the last 100 acres. Marilyn got out in time to see the last of the canola swaths get picked up. Well, almost. 

While picking up the last of the outside round, we picked up a rock...and some page wire managed to get sent up the chute and wrapped around the front of the rotor. We were officially done for the day.

We moved the combine back to the yard, got it blown off, although with the strong wind blowing today, it didn't take long. Marilyn was able to get in and work the wire that was wound around the front of the rotor, then we finally got time to change out the fuel sending unit. We have been running on empty for the last couple of weeks...or at least that is what the fuel gauge has been saying. All is back in order now.

We went into Kipling to try out the Chinese buffet, then drove out to check the fields out on the next job. It looks like the General will be coming out of storage to get used, since it will be just the two of us straight cutting canola...should be interesting.

The cart tractor has been called into seeding duty. It's quite the long load it has to pull and it's 79 feet wide! That will cover a few acres of winter wheat a day.

New adventures tomorrow...
