After a late night of internet woes...Marilyn tried until 1:30am to upload the view of the day...you can't have a post without a picture after all. Thinking it was the low wireless signal, she went out under the window where the router was to try and rectify the problem...didn't help. About the only thing that was accomplished was to bring in a few spiders in from the cold on her person...good for a shriek and little exercise flinging them off...somewhere in the camper. After exhausting all avenues, for the first time this season, she decided to wait until the morning to post.
When coffee time arrived at 7:30am, after a short night, it appeared the internet was working again and finally everything was posted. A quick check on the Regina Leader Post site was in order to see if the online version had the story that Ron Petrie had written, and after seeing that it was, an update to the post was in order so the family could buy up a batch of the daily for all those silly enough to not be on the internet. The hard copy includes a picture...well composed, clear...but the content...yeah...needs a little work...but the story telling more than made up for that.
We got out to the field early and moved the combine to the yard to fuel it up at the tanks. The combine was just on the edge of being too tall for the fuel tank's drain hose so the fueling was slow and without an auto shut off nozzle, Marilyn didn't dare go to far away for fear of a fuel Valdez. Al was topping off the bin, then he came back to the yard just as Marilyn was finishing up the servicing before moving to the next field.
Marilyn can't figure out which feels better...working on a 250 acre field that looks like it will never end or knocking off five smaller fields...either way, we did finish two fields...more time moving than combining, it seemed.
What a beautiful harvest moon to drive home under...
