View of the day-The road to our house will not see much traffic in the next little while...except for the minnows trying to get across without being picked off by the birds.

Well, it's official. We got our final approval for our work visas and now the rush is on to get things organized for trip number 1.

After getting the oil changed on the Freightliner, Al went out to get the tractor and grain cart trailer from it's winter parking spot. Fortunately, his friend Danny had pulled it out onto the road with a tractor so Al could hook it up without getting stuck. He could not believe the water that is lying around that area southeast of Yorkton and with no camera, we all just have to imagine how bad it is.

Marilyn had to work at 7am, but got off at noon to help Al get the grain cart hooked up and moved to the big lot at the Yorkton Auction Centre. We were lucky enough to be able to use the lot to get things loaded, because we certainly have no room...at least any solid ground...to load near our house like we usually do. Over at the lot, Al had to take a tire of the cart trailer so he could get a new one tomorrow and Marilyn got the Freight and tractor cab all cleaned out and polished. Then it started to rain, so we called it a day.

Tomorrow, we load...the first one of the season is always a treat...
