The rest of the long holiday weekend was kind of a mixture of quite a few things.
First of all it started out by me helping with lining up the bean head with the combine. Now you would think that this is an easy task, but let me just say that we’ve never got it hooked up on the first try.
And this year? This year Daryl asked me to help out by going inside the cab and raising and lowering the head of the combine. To say I was excited about working on this new task was very much an understatement! I was scared to death and seriously not excited at ALL!
But I guess it was one of those times you just put your big girl panties on and do it.
And guess what? I think I did an OK job. Oh yea!! Even though we still didn’t get the bean head on perfect – that’s why Daryl said that you do this a couple of weeks before you actually need it. Just so you can get all the equipment ready. He was showing me some hoses that he thought might need to be replaced, but all I was thinking about was trying to get out of there! 
I just hope that this was the first (and the last!) time that I’m helping out while inside the cab of the combine! I’m so much better off helping with making sure that everything is lined up just where it needs to be .. while standing on the ground.
This weekend we also had a chance to visit with some friends at an anniversary party. It’s funny that even though you might not see each other very often, you can feel so comfortable hanging out with each other when you are together. Kinda cool.
Wth the weather perfect, the night ended up with a camp fire and a couple of hands of cards with the kids. 
What a great weekend we had! Now to face reality tomorrow and head back to work 🙁
