07/03/19 -  Today I got up and had very little energy so did not get any thing done until noon.  I then did a load of laundry, ran errands with Alice and then she checked and her husband and brother-in-law were combining wheat and so we went to observe them.  It was very interesting and then I learned that David (her husband) called Alice and wanted to know if I wanted to ride in the combine.  Wow, that was something that I never done in my life.  We were not sure if I could even get up into it but Alice's son Richard and his cousin decided to help me.  I just needed help with the first step and then I was able to handle the rest.  I rode with David for several rounds, we emptied out the combine bin into a wheat bin attached to a tractor that took the wheat to a semi truck which then went to the COOP grain elevator.  I have included a couple of pictures of my experience:
