View of the day-Canola fields across from the campground...wet and waiting.
Al was up early to take a load of flax into Whitewood with Kim's rig again. Marilyn passed on riding along, first, because of sleep and second, she had some graphic designing to do for the theatre group that had to be done yesterday...as usual.
Kim was cleaning out another bin of flax and used the grain cart to hold everything until Al made it back from Whitewood. What a different experience that was. No lights, no probe, no forms, all swept clean by some lovely young ladies...and they were happy to see him show up with Kim's flax...the agent, not the young ladies. He had twice the distance to go, one valley to slow down for and he still made it back in just over two hours.
When he got back to the farm, we had time for lunch, then they filled the semi again and Al was back on the road. We had to take a road trip to Storthoaks to get a new starter for the combine...it was supposed to have been shipped to Carlyle, but it ended up at Storthoaks anyway, so once Al got back from Whitewood, we were on the road again. We took the scenic route going through Oxbow to pick up Kim's farm truck that had been left there. After a stop at the ice cream joint for some sustenance, Marilyn took Kim's truck back to the farm and the guys carried on to Storthoaks.
We actually got to see the sun today for a couple of hours...after some freak showers that fired up, but they were short lived. There are clouds pushing in from the west again and we have a 30% chance of rain...again.
Back over to Kisbey tomorrow to put the starter on...
