harvesting

So, I haven't really blogged lately and thought I'd just put up something random. Today, I got to ride in the combine while we were harvesting. That involves being in charge of the seed bags and pretty much being the one to blame if you mess up (which I did twice today- yikes!). I don't think I got to ride in the combine any last year so I'd kind of forgotten how cool it was. In the cab, you're about 8 feet in the air in what looks like a cockpit. There are tons of buttons and levers plus two seats. When the header starts running to harvest beans, there's this flashing light and a buzzer that goes off inside and then the whole thing feels just like a plane taking off. The whole time today, I couldn't get over how I felt like I was in a plane. It was so weird. I feel like I got to get on a plane today even if I didn't get to go anywhere.
