September 25, 2008


View of the day-The neighbors field is done and the canola we are on is not far behind.

Up early again, but it was pretty wet out with the dew, so we got to fit breakfast in again before going out to the field to service. We got a phone call from our Kansas harvester friend from Kenmare, he was finished there and was getting ready to move back to Gettysburg to wait for his fall harvest to start.

Another perfect day for combining and not only were the hawks busy but the ravens had moved in and it was starting to look like a scene from The Birds...they were mobbing up and the rodents didn't have a chance. It was interesting to see how they got braver as they got hungrier...they wouldn't even wait for the combine to go by before dive-bombing their grub and wouldn't move until it was eaten.

We continued on with the canola until the field was finished around 8pm...another productive day without any hold-ups...Al hauled, Marilyn combined...same old, same old.

And the phone is still ringing with people looking for harvesters...
