We can see the end of our harvest and will (hopefully) be finished by the weekend. We moved to our last place yesterday at lunchtime. A friend had called a couple of days ago and said he was almost done with the job he was working on and wondered if we still wanted him to come over. M did a poll of J and C and they all agreed that he should come--I guess everyone wants to be done! This guy isn't always real prompt so J was betting that he wouldn't show up yesterday, but by the time we got moved he was there. Someone should have taken the bet. All the acres we have left have been hailed on but the wheat is still running pretty good. It would have been a pretty awesome crop without that stupid white stuff hitting it.
I've had quite a few days off from field work while J and C handled the hailed wheat of the neighbor's and M was swathing green spots. Right now the truck drivers have just a short haul so I wasn't needed too much yesterday either. I headed to the field later yesterday so I could bring the lunch with me. I know how much my mother-in-law dislikes having to make the trek to Opheim so I thought I would save her the trip.
M, C and I all took our turns on the grain cart yesterday. The friend who is helping says I am the best operator because I go the right speed for him. That's funny because J says I'm too slow. I'm glad someone appreciates my effort!
This morning I am off to check on cows before I venture out to the field with lunch. Only a few more days......
