August 15, 2015

View of the day-It's cleaning day for all the machines. Time to get the barley chaff and straw off the combines.

Today was moving day...after we got everything cleaned off. We did get rain during the night...2mm...enough to settle the dust and make a slight mess on the combine. It was another hot sticky day, but at least we had the wind to keep the bugs away for a while. 

We had been having issues with the hopper cover and wanted to see if we could figure out why it was binding when we opened it. We're still trying to figure it out. 

We got the combine blown off, then took it and the straight header over to the next farm we will be working at. It was a big move...10 miles west. We got the rigs parked out of the way, then went back to get the camper. It took some doing to get the it parked into the right spot, but once we got it plugged in and the A/C running, we were on the road back for the header trailer...and then back again to get the shop trailer.

With everything moved, we got the dish hooked up and aimed, all the while feeding the mosquitoes, but once the wind came back they couldn't hang around long. It cooled off quite a bit...a welcome change from the rest of the week and we might even be able to have a night with no A/C.

Road trip to Yorkton tomorrow...
