View of the day-More wildlife, this time it is the local wild turkey gang with their leader...a peacock.
We got a lot of wiring work done...again. It must be the rough roads that shake and rub things loose when they are loaded on the trailers. This time it was the tractor. Al had no lights the last time he moved down the road and it didn't work too good out in the field after dark. With the bundles of wires in the harnessess and the winding way they are wrapped under the dash, it was a wonder we could find the right wires.
The cab had rubbed through a couple of the major wires and after getting them cleaned up and spliced back together we had everything but the A/C working...and we do need to buy a 'plentypack' of fuses to replace the burnt/missing ones that caused most of the problems.
It was a decent day for working outside, a nice breeze and temps only in the 80's...perfect weather for those biting flies to come out and do their peskiest worst...we've all got a job to do.
Marilyn got a call from her sister, Marg, that they were coming down for a visit and to see the boat races at Chamberlain...the same ones we had gone to see last year. She wanted Marilyn to see if she could book rooms somewhere in Chamberlain for herself, husband Kim and son Gordie. Marilyn went online...what a treat...immediately and checked on Travelocity and it showed rooms at the Holiday Inn Express, so she booked it for two nights.
After going online later to get the address, it showed there were no vacancies and being concerned that her reservation didn't go through, Marilyn called directly to the hotel to confirm it. Talk about perfect timing, they said that room must have just come up from a cancellation as she was trying to book because all the hotels there have been booked solid for quite sometime...they were amazed she managed to find anything...but she was in.
We finished working on the tractor and after a quick swish, drove the 30 odd miles up to Chamberlain to meet the Johnstones for supper. We drove around town checking out the festivities going on for the weekend then after dropping them off at the hotel, we headed back home.
There could be shopping on the horizon...
