View of the day-Someone is keeping an eye on Al. They are runnin cable on the power poles that run right through the field Al is combining on.
What a change in the weather! Yesterday was a gorgeous day, in the mid 70's...perfect tshirt weather. Today struggled to find 50 and it was cloudy all day.
Al got right to combining after getting the combine cleaned and fueled. He managed another 104 acre day and only had to stop once to use the fire extinguisher in the engine compartment. He thought he could smell something burning, so he went up into the engine compartment and found some smouldering chaff. A quick spray with the water extinguisher and he was back on the rows again.
Marilyn had another heavy day, getting three loads in. This gave plenty of time to work on set design for the Christmas play. While working on the computer, she listened to the Yorkton radio station online to get the latest news from home. The noon agriculture show came on and who do you think they were interviewing? None other that Big Al himself! During the summer Al would call in and let Ray, the ag man, know how things were going along the harvest run. Apparently he had called this morning and had another interview...there was even a summary on the 5:30 news report...the 5:30! Well, it just doesn't get any bigger than that...for Al anyway.
After the last load, Al brought the combine in to plug in and after having supper at the bar, we picked up the loaded grain truck and brought it back to get plugged in.
It's going to get cold tonight...

Wasn't it you Marilyn that kept wanting frost? Well you got it now. Here this morning it was -5 and felt like -11 (and that there is Canadian degrees).
That's what I call a frosty Friday. Bout time to dig out the insulated jeans. Glad to see you're back!
