August 16, 2008


View of the day-Al checks on the swathing progress.

No combining again, but we were productive. The pickup head got a new belt, lubed and ready for action...everything working as it should be...just need the wheat to be ready.

Once we had the straight head loaded on the trailer...we won't need it anymore at this stop...Al roaded the tractor and cart to the field 10 miles south of town while Marilyn moved the shop and header trailers over to the parking spot in town, then met Al out at the field. We came back to town, then Al took the General out to the field and caught a ride back in with the farmer, who had finished swathing for the day.

We had the rest of the day off and back at the camper Al watched the Canadians finally get some medals at the Olympics while Marilyn took a walk around town. It was a beautiful evening, no wind, no bugs and just the right temperature...and it is supposed to stay that way for a week.

The rust comes off the pickup head tomorrow...

Marilyn, you're big tent worked great for the play. Too bad you had to miss it, it was great. Always wondered what you wanted with a huge tent like that but sure glad you buy weird things - keep that shopping addiction fed lol.

Oops, should have proofed my comment - that should read "your big tent..." lol. How come no editing allowed?
