View of the day-Al in his latest drive...the Freightliner...one of several he hopped into during the day.We were up early and out to the field to find the Masseys already making dust. It was an overcast day that threatened rain off and on during the day, but all we got were a few sprinkles...at least while Marilyn was combining.
We finished the field we were on, then moved across the road to the next quarter of canola, which we finished around 5:30pm. Marilyn had a theatre meeting to attend in Yorkton, so Al took over combining after we had moved to the next field. Although she offered to stay and combine, Al 'insisted' she go to the meeting...could it have had something to do with the flat field with one mile long swaths...and he had the satellite radio to listen to Monday Night Football? Yes, to all the above.
Marilyn left for Yorkton, had her meeting, then went for coffee with her friends before fueling up and starting back for Balcarres. While she was dropping her friend off at home, Al called to suggest she stay in Yorkton for the night, since Bob had to come to Yorkton tomorrow and Al could get a ride with him. They had gotten rained out and it hadn't let up yet, so tomorrow was going to be a day off for us.
The plan was to get the tractor and cart unloaded tomorrow, then park everything for the winter...we wouldn't be needing them again...so far, at least. Marilyn decided to return to Balcarres because she didn't have anything with her...computer wise...so the blog wouldn't be getting done...Al said no big deal. Marilyn disagreed.
Bob said it was getting boring anyway...all we do is combine...
