View of the day-Marilyn washes the windows on both combines before they start out on the last day of combining in canola.
The guys were anxious to get started in the canola and Marilyn had a road trip to Yorkton on her agenda, so after stopping at the Skyline to have lunch it was directly out to the field. Marilyn cleaned the windows on both combines then forged on to Yorkton.
After stopping to hook up the header from the farmers yard, Marilyn took it into Esterhazy and parked it in the lot where the rest of the rigs will go once we get moved, then continued on to Yorkton. Once in Yorkton, she started working on the list of 'to do' things that Al had made up...got most of them done, except to pick up his season tickets for the Terriers. Apparently they are open until 5pm in a different time zone because at 4pm the doors were locked and the lights turned off.
Al finished combining the canola and moved the combine back to the yard and blew all the chaff off to ready it for loading and moving tomorrow. Marilyn had supper and a pre-meeting meeting with a couple of girls from the theatre group, then the moved over to the church where the actual meeting was going to take place. After the meeting, Marilyn stopped to get a haircut then went to Tim Horton's to pick up a box of TimBits (doughnut holes) and a coffee before starting on the 120 mile trip back to Carlyle, getting back at 12:30am.
Al wants to be AIS at noon tomorrow...the cart still has to get moved back from the field and everything needs to get loaded before that can happen. At least we know we have our camping spot from last year secured after the farmer read about our plight on the blog...what a relief...we are looking forward to it.
Marilyn saw the Holland Harvesting crew parked at the corner gas station, ready to move north as well...no pictures in the dark, it looked like at least 4 8010's on trailers...could be more...
We're sure to see them along the way tomorrow...
