September 16, 2008


View of the day-Watch for snakes...sometimes the field is a much better place to 'go'.

These are the days that make harvesting the best job in the world. Absolutely gorgeous weather, dry grain, almost no waiting...simply fabulous. The only way it could have gotten any better would have been if Marilyn had won tickets to go see Elton John in Regina.

We stopped at the post office to mail a letter and Marilyn asked for "delivery confirmation" and the clerk had no idea what she was talking about. After describing it to the part time clerk, Marilyn realized it was a US post office service...not a Canadian one...oh dear...

Back at the field, we had a big move to make to get the next field and Marilyn had to make a stop at the yard to fuel the combine up, so it was after lunch before we got started making dust. Al ran into auger problems and by the time he was able to get the truck unloaded, Marilyn was waiting with a hopper full...thankfully it only happened once. No more breakdowns and lots of dust...

The rest of the day was more of the same...
