September 19, 2009


View of the day-The Steelers making a rush on a hot afternoon in Regina. They lost, but put up a good fight in spite of the weather.


We were up early, Al to go on a parts run to Storthoaks with Kim and Marilyn to go on a football run to Regina with Marg and Gordie.

Kim was able to get a new cylinder for his auger and the guys got everything put back together then finished the wheat field that was started yesterday. They were going to move over to the canola field that we had started on, but it was too hot to put it in the bin so they waited until after 6 to crank it up again.

After getting to Regina and having lunch, we went to a sports store to pick up a new chin strap. We dropped Gordie off at the field then went in search of an umbrella to protect us from the sun at the football field...it was a good thing we did...it was 95ºF and we were facing right into the sun. Unfortunately the Steelers didn't win, but the guys were pretty upbeat.

We had supper then did a bit more shopping before driving home to Carlyle. The guys had finished the canola field and were getting cleaned up to watch the CFL football game. Marilyn came home with only the umbrella as a purchase and she was even in Walmart, but the thought of standing in line at the cash register was enough to leave empty handed. Saturday in the 'bright lights' is insane...there is an upside to shopping at 1am....

Could be some deck building going on tomorrow...
