View of the day-The buggy man was kept busy today in the barley.

We were out in the field, ready for action by 10:30am. It had been a warm night, dry morning and the day was promising to be just as gorgeous as yesterday.

All machines were running...as was Kim, doing the trucking. Gordie had taken over in Kim's combine, so Al was relegated to cart duty...once he returned from Yorkton. He got back around noon and spent the rest of the afternoon chasing across the field dumping the combines.

The cart was just one size too small for three combines, so we weren't always able to get the whole hopper unloaded, just so none of us had to stop and wait. Kim helped out a bit by chancing a drive out into the soft field to pick up the overflow...and you could always tell where he had been by the tracks he left. No one got stuck, though.

We finished the barley around 4:30pm and moved everything back to the yard. It is Thanksgiving in Canada this long weekend, so Marg cooked all weekend to make supper for us. And we all ate WAYYYY too much.

But at least the barley is done...
