A visit from the Masked Bandit
These were on top of the engine compartment.
It Just Feels Good!
We got back in the field late Tuesday morning. I was definitely in some sort of funk all day due to missing the girls and the mountains. By the end of the day, though, things sort of started falling back into place.
Until you begin the next good book
The very first thing I need to do is tell my Dad Happy Birthday! I love you and hope you did something special for yourself today. I remember one birthday, in particular, we celebrated in Great Falls. I believe that was in 1983. I remember we sat there for what seemed like forever before we finally got just a few more acres to cut before having to head home. I know Pohney used to make you a special German chocolate cake and I can remember Tom “Thumb” always making a point to tell me to tell you Happy Birthday. Good memories!
Gathering the equipment to begin the chore of cleaning and getting ready to move…again.
A Little Too Camera Happy
We had a day off on Friday but we got right back to work on Saturday. Back to the early mornings and late nights due to the 80 mile round trip drive to the field. We had a bit of bad luck last night as we were driving home. Jim hit a fairly large buck – but as luck had it – the service pickup suffered minimal damage. I really think our vehicles are deer magnets!
A LITTLE Break!
Daily servicing before entering the field
The daily 80 mile round trip excursion is taking a toll on my writing! By the time we get home (which has been 11:00 every night), take a shower and grab a bite of supper, I’m not thinking anything beyond how good my pillow is going to feel! Last night, however, we got a little shower – 2/10 (my brain wants to reduce that to 1/5 thanks to a great math teacher in my past). As luck has it, it appears we have a little more time to wait for things to dry before getting back to work. The high today is supposed to be 68 – if it makes it. Grabbing the sweatshirt this morning seemed a little weird.
All In a Day’s Work
The wheat is yielding VERY well. Jim said he was seeing 70 – 100 bushels per acre pretty consistently all day. For brief seconds at a time, he was even seeing 180 on his monitor.
Oh Well…That’s The Way it Goes!
I was right – it has been a LONG day!
We were able to get packed up and on the road heading west in fairly decent time (for us). I believe we were pulling through the metropolis of Jordan at 9:30 a.m. (Mountain Time). We arrived in Lewistown right at noon.
Time to Be Movin On
It’s time to tell J Town goodbye for another year. Our stay was a quick one; barely long enough to even feel like we were really here. And, as usual, the girls were just getting re-acquainted with their friends again and now it’s time to hit the road. The ‘ole heart strings are being pulled as it’s hard to tell good friends goodbye for another year!!
Grain Bins and Cemeteries

First things, first. Did you figure out what all those little rocks were in my previous post?
