View of the day-Something is cooking...or will be, later on today. This rotor was made into a grill by the Young's the CaseIH dealer out of Regina.

Well, it was loading day today. Al hooked the combine up to the combine trailer with a chain over the feederhouse, so he could get the shop trailer hooked up...it was a lot easier than trying to do it after the combine was on the trailer and hooked up to the General. Once he had that done, Marilyn made the scene and the combine loading could commence.

After getting the combine loaded and the General hooked up and ready to go, we hooked up the straight header and took it home to Yorkton, where we parked it over at the neighbors until we could get it cleaned up and parked for good. We stopped in town to pick up a few things, get fuel, then headed back to Balcarres.

We saw a few combines going along the way, but most of the crop has been combined along the #10 highway...with the weather being beyond perfect, it was no surprise. We got back to the camper and got cleaned up for the harvest windup supper which was across the yard in the shop. Almost everyone was there...except for Trapper, who was in Regina to pick up his wife at the airport. Unfortunately her plane was going to be 4 hours late, so no festivities for him. After a fabulous meal, some great conversation and story telling, we called it a night.

Tomorrow another load heads for Yorkton...
