October 25

View of the day-Some mighty big potatoes! One was almost too much for the frying pan.

Al did his usual morning ritual of blowing off the combine, but he had to wait for the fuel truck to show up since his low fuel alarm was going off last night. Because of that, he wasn't able to get a full truck load for Marilyn, so she had the whole morning off.

Once he got fueled and rolling in the field, he got a couple of loads in before the field was finished. He moved the half mile to the next field and Marilyn picked him up and went back to get the grain truck to dump and then move to the new field. Then it was "more of the same" as Al continued combining and Marilyn went back to get ready for an evening out with Donna, our landlady.

The college in Jamestown was presenting Fiddler on the Roof, and since Marilyn had been a part of the Yorkton production a couple of years back...well...it was a "must see". Of all the productions we have been to see over the course of various harvest seasons, this one was the best...beautiful voices, live orchestra, great sets and lighting. Our performance had better choreography and a real 'fiddler on the roof", who came all the way from Scotland especially for the play, none the less, it really brought back a lot of memories of our performances.

Marilyn had promised Al a Pizza Hut pizza would be coming home with us after the play...but...what college town closes down their Hut at 10pm? Our only option was Little Caesar's and they only had the drive through open, so we took it rather than coming home empty handed. By the time we did get home, Al was already in bed and wasn't getting up and when he found out it wasn't Pizza Hut, he rolled over and went to sleep. All pizzas are not created equal.

And now some combining from inside the cab...
