We were up early to have eggs before we forged into the crappy weather. It wasn't that bad at Yorkton, but as we got closer to the farm at Balcarres, the snow was coming down pretty hard.
While Al got the corners of flax that were left in the box of the General cleaned out, Marilyn got the header trailer lined up to load, then got the header ready to load. When Al got back, we got the header strapped down, then went to work getting the combine trailer moved out of the tall grass for loading.
After getting the combine loaded, chained down and hooked up to the truck, we waited for Brenda to show up with the little Dodge, so she could pull the shop trailer back with us. She got there just as we were getting the camera hooked up and the oversize signs on the trailer. Then we were off.
It continued to snow all the way to Yorkton...some would say we brought it with us. We got back out to the farm, got the combine unloaded, then Al took the trailer out near Saltcoats, to park it for the winter. Marilyn got the combine in the yard, but didn't get anything parked, because she had to get into town to meet Brenda for a late lunch, then she had a meeting and rehearsal again.
Al got back to the farm and proceeded to get as much rearranged as he could, what with the camper in the middle of the yard. He got everything into a temporary spot, then tried to thaw out...no heater in the General plus being wet from the snow is not a good combination.
There will be more combining, just not for a couple days...
