View of the day-A Google Earth shot of where we were in 2008.
It was a rainy, snowy day for us as we spent the better part of the day in Yorkton, paying bills, shopping and visiting. Al decided he missed the stress of the harvest and went in to try to deal on a new pickup...ours is ten years old and seemed to need a lot of fixing. Apparently the state of the economy hasn't affected the Dodge dealer in town so it looks like it will be a winter with the same old pickup...unless we go back to Aberdeen, SD...
Marilyn decided it was time to upgrade her cell phone rather that adding more 'pay-as-you-go' time to her old Canadian cell, which she couldn't use out of the country. Of course to make the blogging uploads a bit easier, a Blackeberry was the thing to get...she says you can never have too much technology.
We stopped in at the Case dealer to get the combine booked in for the winter uptime inspection and to fill the service manager in on all that had happened during the season...apparently there wasn't any blog reading done at that place. We put on 730 hours and covered 7010 acres over the course of almost 6 months...it hardly seems that long, for some of us anyway.
After a visit with several people we ran into in town during our shopping tour, we came back home where Al found a NFL football game to occupy his time and Marilyn got sucked into the CSI vortex on TV and couldn't turn it off until she had discovered "who done it".
It has been interesting to get emails from people who have been following the blog from all over the world and now that our harvest season is over, Al says it should be like the daily journal that he keeps with one last entry until next year. Marilyn has found it to be somewhat like a drug and can't go cold turkey...
So although it might not be harvest related, there will be more to come...
