It Happens to The Best of Us!

it's a little bit soggy out this morning and I don't know if you can tell but my voice still isn't all there again [Music] but it's getting better it's just like it's just hanging on to the last little bit of miserability it's gonna be a good day except it's gonna take several hours for the beans to dry they're gonna need that sun to finish coming through to dry everything out you too wrestle one of the first things I'm going to pick away at this morning before anybody else is here is mounting this extra screen second screen into the strip tiller the strip tiller is hiding way back there in the new shed as you can see we've got the doors wide open on the new shed right now for those that didn't catch it it sounds like this new shed is supposed to be started November 1st so early November hopefully there's a lot of action going on here I'm going to make sure to show you guys all of that it's going to be really nice to get that buttoned up and be able to stack this thing completely full of everything that's been sitting in the yard for the last six months in three days two days three days something like that I've got it lined up to get this thing out in the field and actually spend the day with this thing we plan that ahead of time this year to make sure we're not scrambling to do it all the last day before the ground freezes up so I'm just gonna have to take a day away out of the combine and kind of wrestle with this thing for a day the second screen here is not necessary because I've got my main computer here but there's so much information with this unit hook to it it's nice to have two screens so I don't have to toggle back and forth to get my information I've got one set of information up here and one set here I'm not constantly jumping back and forth between Pages there we go I am double screened now I need to put in my tank cameras I got to get the screen in I've got a Dakota micro screen here with the cameras in the tank that hook up here I've got to mount my Wi-Fi box my iPad controls there's a lot to this monster so I just need to remember exactly where that camera screen is do you have any idea on a none you want this wrench we're gonna check in here there's this I need that look at that there's my camera screen I swear that fog is half lifted in just the last 15 minutes put your hat on cute little hat camera screen there we go and the iPad mount for the blockage monitors where do I want that good enough for now I can adjust it when I get in the field next up we are going to use this wet morning as an opportunity to look at getting some tillage going so tillage piece number one the chisel plow here it is soaking wet inside that grass so I'm not gonna walk in there but I wanted to look at the points on it see if we need to order any new points they actually don't look that bad at all dad's gonna be out here in less than an hour so when it dries up a little bit we'll hook that to the four-wheel drive and get that ready to go well I'm impatient I'm gonna go get that tractor out of my own hook it up and see what's in there for diesel get the chisel plow on it let's see which tractor eenie meeny miny moe it's the perfect opportunity to say Eeny Meeny minimo such an idiot oh my banker is here he's gonna interrupt my flow apparently when you trade combines they don't just give you that you actually got to sign papers and they expect you to pay them back over time which is a bunch of crap if you ask me but at least he knows it's harvest and he's coming to me I don't have to go into town because it had to be an Eight Mile Drive it'd be that'd be a bad deal distraction time is over and Dad rolled out here in the meantime so now it's time to get back to work dad walks away and does his thing I end up taking a phone call and then and then he steals my tractor that's actually his tractor but but I was gonna hook it up and again in the meantime Jim shows up or maybe he just spent the night down here wait until we were ready to hook the chisel plow up you were here all night better down there we go equipment at the top it did break yeah that's kind of what it sounds like yeah oh really looking at our maintenance log here we went through this tractor in April with that many engine hours on it well it's got eight engine hours on it since we changed oil and filters we ended up hooking this to the mandaco to the uh the uh vertical tillage piece this spring didn't really want to run that with as wet as the fields were so the RT did the majority of the tillage this spring especially on tracks it just less compaction less stirring of that dirt so this tractor shouldn't need much Jim's going to check the tires and the oil and filters on this tractor right now dad's got a couple things he wanted me to look at over here in the bin before we transfer some soybeans from one bin to another first thing we got to do here is try and get the distributor changed which is up there it changes which leg the grain goes into and it's stuck again per usual when you let it sit for any amount of time [Music] incredible sounds like Jim is done with the tractor here already cucumbers are ripe foreign [Music] we have so many of them yep front two are good these two are good tires that are on the ground on the Mainframe are good but this point is not oh I can't get around the tires here I'm stuck so this one's broken it's supposed to look like that you want the bolt hold on oh you know what Mainframe area should be done and unfortunately in this direction unfortunately in this direction we can't unfold it so I'm gonna spin it out Loop it around here I hear Dad making some noise over here the conveyor's running so I'm gonna go check on him see how things are going for him over here he was doing some logistical stuff here before we start running grain from one bin to another yeah I think it worked good went into the hand GSI bin so the first three all shut and the GSI is open so it went where it was supposed to well we're supposed to good turns out Isla needs a hole on her project here what is this thing um I made it well I know you made it she wants a hole in it so she can hang it up not gonna work Isla I think that's what you're gonna have to do because that's too brittle to drill the combines are only a half mile south here so we're gonna actually run out and check and see if they'll go now because it's pretty sunny and Breezy so they're they're gonna go soon [Applause] oh they're squishy at the bottom yeah the pods are not snapping open on bottom yeah I was afraid we should have been here an hour ago but I wouldn't have gone an hour ago no I don't know what by the time we get fired up I think we should try it yeah oh they're squishy they are they picked up some oyster too these are 16 . they don't crack at all these are good thick beans they well they're not super tall but they Branch out look how much they Branch I got bad news dogs beans are a little too too wet you don't care one little bit do you we're gonna look over our heads there's always a few sections to replace and maybe fuel them up and it might be 40 minutes before we're going anyway those will dry fast now so maybe in 40 minutes everything will be ready check the oils first I know my head should be good because last night we actually had to fix a piece of the sickle section the sickle and then we we replace a couple sections I can't talk foreign [Music] good there good there oh who is it that was actually kind of an important one so I had to sit down and take that I got a few sections that look kind of like that are not great but they're also not bad and now I feel like this sun and wind has got to be drying stuff fast so I don't really want to tear things apart I just kind of want to get going what you doing you combining you not yet you want me to yeah you can we just replaced that and it went actually pretty good I see that squeeze it in I see that [Music] are you hopping in with me in the combine yeah okay got a homemade sandwich with you he's not homemade oh it's not push the green button on the bottom there push that one oh and now push this one the combine yep and then hit that one yep and then hit that one yep oh you can see the beam sticking you can there's some stuck ones from yesterday from last night it's hauling diesel oh so like you can drive it everywhere you are yep so that we always have gas for the combines the biggest thing we want to look for here is this number right here which we just broke in so it hasn't actually adjusted correctly yet we want to keep that for sure under 14 if we can so once we get into it a little farther here we'll see what we've got if they get up over 14 13 and a half we don't want to take them to the elevator they get up over 15. they got to go in our bin get some air on them for sure and then we'll move them after they dry down take it up to 16. we gotta wait an hour oh no did you hear that yeah those are cab beans they're up above our head now just a few of them that spilled over I knew we were getting full I let your ride is here come to take you away is it your turn to ride with me Rhiannon and I heard a clunk and we're thinking it was a rock but it didn't sound like it went through so we're gonna jump out and dump the rock trap at the end I'll have you do it because it's super Dusty and itchy and I don't want to be a part of that so you'll get to do it you're my celebrity guest okay rule number one when dumping the rock trap I always turn into the wind the combine's gonna start honking around and it's okay yeah it's just gonna be bad see I predicted that what are the odds okay rock trap's pretty simple all right pull that lever forward yep [Music] they come from down they'll fall out in here you need some help see any rocks no no [Music] rocks in the Trap ran nope just beans and dust well whatever it was it must have just eaten it up spit it out the back in a million pieces there's the tile cage she was talking about it wasn't on the tile pipe it was sitting like five feet away and this machine we did we hit it we ate it up we spit it out the back and we had to search for pieces well now we've got a we've got a missing guard down here everything looks fine we just need to bolt one on right there it's missing huh yep oh we're missing whatever this piece is too I'll go see if we have one of those in the cab we got one luckily Jason threw everything we needed in the cab there so we got one there these bolts are a little long they might be for something else but they're gonna work okay back to work again that is weisel Lake well here's the end of another field and dad has already moved up a mile this way and we're only a mile from the farm so we moved to another field that's a mile from the farm Jim's waiting 2.0 is setting up the header card Onyx is over here I'm riding here I'm gonna dump into a truck rhiannon's with me [Music] as long as we're switching fields and the fuel tank is here we're gonna go ahead and top it off also we're at about a half a tank so it isn't going to take a ton but it's still going to take 200 gallons or so so we'll shut her down for the moment Brianna's gonna jump in with her brother do you want to ride with her brother I don't know hopefully he's nice to her because I know he seems like a sweetheart on the videos but he can be a real butthole camera can't do that I see a little girl bouncing around and an editor that brought me supper hi Isla hi I'm here to ride with you you're gonna ride with me again yeah yeah all right I'm back to my old passenger with a meatball dinner how's your sandwich good I'm getting tired Isla okay you too Here's the final corner of the evening I don't know why but it seemed like a long day it's not the evening it is definitely the evening late evening what is it then the middle of the night well we're not quite there I've worked to the middle of
