Stop the presses....as I am writing this, the music of the tractors stopped! The sound of the harvest became quiet. Could it be? Please say it isn't so? My heart is sinking of the thought that there is something wrong. Oh, man, Doyle just came in and reported that the belts broke again.
Harvest is supposed to be a form of healing and therapy for the boys, but the belt breaking all the time will send them to a real therapist. Harvest was a joy when Heit was around because he would work on fixing the combine while they were at their day jobs and they could just come after work and do the fun part.
Well, tomorrow we will start our therapy session again. I will go and chat with the Krueseman's boys and see if they have the belts we need. John will come after work and try to fix the problem which will probably take and hour and half. (I really think he is getting faster at taking the combine apart and fixing it!) Then Bernie, John and Doyle will see if they can get further on Harvest. We hope this therapy session last longer than 5 hours!

Here are the field that are out as of Wed. Oct 29. Hopefully, you can picture this.
--Half of the field North of the house (the piece south of the creek).
--South of the house.."The bottom" on the west side of the creek AND east side.
--2/3rds of the back field behind the bottom on east side.
I wish I could have one of the maps of the field and just highlight the fields as I go, but maybe those who are familiar with the fields understand.
Anson has joined the therapy. Bernie is pleased that he actually got to turn off the combine tonight, rather that having it break down.
Anson can fix the auger tomorrow - maybe the Kruseman boys will enjoy chatting with him for a change. Bernie and Rosa
I think Anson is definitely enjoying the "therapy" of working with his brothers!! Thanks for the updates. Syl
