Al went out to the field early to blow out filters and clean all the dirt out of the header that Marilyn had scooped up last night. We knew today was going to be a marathon to try and finish the last full section and a bit, so we split a shift.
Al got rolling early and it was going through a lot better than it had been. Marilyn came out and took over around 2pm so Al could get the General started...it was called into duty to shuttle some wheat between bins in the yard. It hadn't been running since we got here over a month ago, so as expected, it didn't start without a little help.
We had a sprinkle of rain pass through with a wind change that made combining somewhat of a challenge, but not enough to stop us. Al came out around 11pm to take the last shift after watching his Blue Jays lose.
While there had been high hopes of finishing, even if it was going to go late into the night, there were two machines down. They were getting worked on until 3 or 4pm, so that moved the schedule back.
Let's hope the rain stays away...
