Tuesday August 26th - Hauled loads to the Falls and spent the night there to be the first in line. 3 loads=2,453 bu. Total=56 loads=51,367 bu.

Wednesday August 27th - Finished up with Larson’s winter wheat and moved the combines to several different farms. 3 loads=1995 bu. Total=56 loads=53,362 bu.

Thursday August 28th - Ran grain cart all day. Got too drive a MX285, pretty nice tractor.

Friday August 29th - Ran cart again all day.

Saturday August 30th - Ran cart again.

Sunday August 31st - Went to church and had a fellowship meal there. Came back, relaxed and then went back into town for the evening.

Monday September 1st - Rained overnight so we puttzed around the trailers all day. Watched movies and played card games. Actually had off on Labor Day, imagine that.

Tuesday September 2nd - Still didn’t dry out enough to cut so got the combines ready to roll and that’s about it.

Wednesday September 3rd - The two combines I was with got to cutting by 10, the rest didn’t really get going at all. Ran cart for most of the day and then got to run combine for about an hour and half. Actually running the 7010 is pretty easy just knowing all the small adjustments is what takes a little longer to figure out.

Thursday September 4th - Blew out the radiator on my truck and ran some grain cart.

Friday September 5th - Moved to another farmer and then ran grain cart the rest of the day. Was running a John Deere 8420 with tracks on it. That was interesting.

Saturday September 6th - Let the other guys run cart so I just hung around the trailers and went to town for some stuff.

Sunday September 7th - Went to church, Chilies, the mall, Wal-Mart, the trailer, the movie theater, McDonalds, and back to the trailer.

Monday September 8th - Brought the cart back from Rexburg to Hamer and then ran it the rest of the day. The list of tractors I ran this year is up to ten. Case IH 7140, 8950, MX 230, MX 270, 3 different MX 285s, John Deere 8130 w/IVT tranny, 8420 with tracks, and an 8400.
