August 3, 2008

View of the day-A semi moves a part of a turbine down the highway.

We were up bright and early again...not by choice. We had decided to pass on the harvesters breakfast...sleep seemed to be more important....until Lynn called to let us know she had come into town and was waiting for us.

We changed our minds and made a dash for the waffles and eggs. There wasn't a lot of harvesters when we first got there, but they filed in in bunches while we were enjoying the meal. No count on how many were served...that will come later in the week when the paper comes out. After we finished, Lynn came back to the camper so we could get some catching up done on the Canadian Harvesters Association, then she headed back to Hoven to get her crew moving.

Ray from ProHarvest made a visit to the combine to see if he could discover why the header was still insisting on creeping down...of course, while he was there it didn't do it...he told us to call him again if it continued. Al waited a while then went out to do a test...still to wet, as we knew it would be...and the header crept down.

The morning rain went to the north and south again, but that dang humidity wouldn't let up even with the sun shining. Marilyn decided to get some laundry done at the campground...one washer, and a dryer-that doesn't. They have clotheslines right behind the camper, but it seems the other harvesters did their laundry during the night...and didn't bother to take the dry clothes off the lines before they went to work. Oh well, we had nothing but time.

At least while we wait, the wheat gets closer...
