We made the move east yesterday. Now the far east place is done, the far west place is done, and now we just need to work on the stuff in the middle. R found sieve parts in the wheat yesterday as he was dumping a truck. This time it was from J's combine. We sent our nephew to Glasgow for a new sieve while we made the move. A friend finally showed up to cut yesterday morning so we had three combines going yesterday. That didn't last long, though, because his combine was having engine trouble today.
They started on some mustard today so the joke always is that M is too old to cut the mustard since J usually ends up doing it, and he hates it. It doesn't feed into the combine well and it's not fun to dig out if the header gets plugged up. The crop wasn't the best either, on some sandy ground and it had shelled out some. The truck drivers weren't too busy today, at least at lunchtime. After lunch they moved to another piece that may have been better.
It was a beautiful day, warm with no wind, and the forecast looks good for the week. Keeping our fingers crossed that we can finish this exhausting harvest this week. At least the end is in sight!
