View of the day-Al looking for the grain cart as the John Deere does the same, at Carlyle, SK.Al was up getting trucks unloaded and finding out how the Dodge was coming along at Estevan. They had just started on it and were doing a recall update on the exhaust regeneration module...or some such thing...and would be getting back to him when they knew something more.
It was a strange day...cloudy with a threat of rain...or at least it looked like it could let go anytime. Kim had finished his swathing, so he was able to get his 2388 in the field and his nephew from Alberta had come down to run their tandem truck, which freed Al up to run the cart for a while to keep us going.
Al got the call from the Dodge dealer that the problem was merely a bad ground to the engine block and they were going to switch out the alternators and give us a refund...darn nice of them, we thought. Of course, an hour later we got another call that the old alternator was indeed shot and they would have to put the new one back on...but the good news was that it would be ready today.
Marilyn combined until 4pm then caught a ride in to Estevan with Marg and Gordie again. After paying the tab at the Dodge dealer, Marilyn went to pick up some groceries before heading back to Carlyle, where the guys were taking it easy and watching the CFL football game after getting the barley field finished.
We are not sure where we are going tomorrow...the 'r' word is in the forecast...
