June 13, 2011

View of the day-One of two coyotes that kept getting scooted along as Marilyn finished the canola. They didn’t look too good in the 104º heat…mangy to…and not too smart because for every swath they moved to the north, three bunnies would come out of the swath the combine was on.

Al had to get up extra early to go our farmers place to settle up and since it was going to be a cooker again, we were pretty sure the canola was going to be good to combine…but just to be on the safe side, we waited until after lunch to start in.

We got going around 1:30pm and with the exception of a drive belt that jumped off the pickup head, we were able to get the last 50 acres lapped up. Marilyn drove the combine back to the camper and once Al had gotten the truck unloaded, he came back with the pickup and we went back for the General.

So that is it for combining in Oklahoma, now we get to load up and figure out how everything is going to get moved in two trips.

It was still 103º at 8pm and tomorrow is cleaning day…a cooling trend with highs of only 95º…
