Al was up before the crack of dawn...he could not sleep, so he was up and out the door to see if the train had come to the elevator. It had, so he was off to Jeff's farm at Gerald.
Al had finally sold the sunflower pans that we used on the old 1020 header. We wouldn't be able to use them on our bigger header and with harvests in Saskatchewan being what they were, we weren't able to get back for sunflowers anyway. The guy was coming to pick them up and Jeff had to do the loading, so Al figured he had better be there to help...and to drop off some toys.
Marilyn got to sleep in since she now knew it would be a short day of combining with no elevator to haul to. Still, she was out at the combine to start at 10:30 and since Al had done the fueling and servicing before he left, she just had to jump in and start combining.
The General had been filled the night before, so that left the Mack, grain cart and combine to fill. Since we knew we couldn't finish today anyway, the Freightliner didn't get used after all...no sense in filling it up for only one load. after Marilyn had gotten everything full...really full...then quit for the day. At 2:30pm...now that's banker's hours!
After Al got back from Gerald and Grayson, we went down to Fort Qu'Appelle to grab a pizza, then came back to the camper.
If we can haul tomorrow, the 60 acres left will be our last for the season...
