We were all set to move the camper home, had it all closed up and hooked to the pickup. Al had the shop trailer hooked to "Rusty", the half ton Dodge and just as we were ready to roll, he got a text message from a farmer who used to work at H&R a few years back. He was wondering if we could fit in some canola harvesting to our busy schedule. Since we were all loaded anyway, and were technically finished for the season, we decided to take him up on the offer.
We were heading into unharvested territory for us...north of Yorkton about 40 miles, just north of Canora. We stopped for a quick lunch as we passed through Yorkton, then headed out to the farm to get organized. We only had the camper to set up, since the combine wouldn't be getting moved until tomorrow.
We found a spot to park in, close enough to power and water, then set the dish up...priorities, you know. We managed to finish just as it started to rain, which shut down the two New Hollands and one CaseIH combine that were combining right near the yard.
We headed back to Yorkton to spend the night at home. We had errands to run in town and were looking forward to a "house" shower with soft water for a change.
Tomorrow, the combine...
