#Harvest 2024
Got it done last Friday for another year but didn’t end the way I planned. Couldn’t have happened on a flat spot.
But then a lot of the frustration went away after tying into this beauty for finishing harvest celebrations. And a couple Rums slipped in.

Thanks to great friends I got to experience a pretty amazing trip. Made it back in one piece with some sore muscles. Weather was sunny both days + 12c to + 15c and no wind. My GPS said we climbed up to 6900 feet. They were very safety minded riding.
@fdebeaudrap Yeah, the amount of snow was way down from what they usually have Francis. But it was just right for a green guy like me to ride. Absolutely awesome.
Just got back from hiking out to the bench we set up in the valley in honour of our son. Had a Beer in his honour. He enjoyed a cold beer. He’d bring me different ones to try. The one on the bench is the last one he brought for me to try. Can’t seem to bring myself to open it.

Had to go out to boost my nieces vehicle yesterday. So decided to go for my morning hike. -42 c at 7 am -35 c at 2 when left house -39 c in the valley. Had it all to myself just me, nature and the elements. Too cold for my 4 legged partner to go.
@TractorShipper I’m glad I made your day. My dad was still running this old timer when he was at your young age. Was tuff keeping up with him on some of those long harvest nights.
Harvest 2023.
We had some major Combine problems so decided to get the old timer out 1985 to assist. Was Dads pride & joy. Been in the shed for 7 yrs except when we had it out August 29 2021 to take a sample & the feeder house clutch failed.
Put 31 hrs on without a hiccup.
Had to modify the old timer a little so the old could work with the newer. My brothers little 4 year old grandson noticed we removed the rubber skirt from the end of the unload auger. Not very happy with us.
I’m sure dad & my boy were looking down smiling
Cab not quite as plush as the new ones. But it does have a customized coffee cup holder if you noticed to the right. Still sounds awesome with that Perkins. Oh it does have air. Pretty special running it that my dad spent many long hrs in.
Prickly Friend.
Met this fellow on our morning hike in the valley. Luckily he was up in a Willow bush having breakfast so my 4 legged partner couldn’t get close and friendly with him.
Everything was still walking on 4 legs when they got home. So liability on me has expired.
Had as good a time as going somewhere warm. The boss just gave me a look.

It’s been about 3 years but the little brother trusted me to look after his girls & guys again.
At least this time the weather wasn’t -30c to -45c.
Making a bit more of a farm girl out of my boss. Did good job at gate & silage wagon hitch technician.
