View of the day-The combine all nestled in the holding pen at the CaseIH dealership.
Marilyn had to get up in the dark...not even the crack of dawn to get ready for her first day back at Staples. Although this was supposed to be a stock rearranging day and Marilyn was in her street clothes, the customers wouldn't let her get much work done. But she made a lot of miles...a good thing, after sitting in the combine for the last five months.
Al got up at the same time...claims he's getting old and can't sleep in anymore. He had to move some furniture around for his nephew who has just found an apartment in town. He also had to take the combine in for its inspection and got to park it inside the coverall building at the Case dealer. Once it was parked, he went in to talk toys with one of the partsmen while he waited for Marilyn to finish work and pick him up. While Al was gabbing, Marilyn went out to get the view of the day...rather bizarre that it would take some time to find the right combine out of the six that were jammed in there. The 8010s were no problem, but coming in from the back of the machines the other three all looked the same until she spotted what was left of the rain gauge. The combine had gotten really dirty after the trip down the gravel road so it didn't resemble the shiny new rig that she was used to...hopefully it comes out cleaner.
After supper, Al went to deliver the furniture and Marilyn went to give a presentation on Stage Management to the university drama class that is given through the distance learning at the local community college.
Al, of course, got home in time to watch the Monday night football game...
