View of the day-The Freightliner and it's load are parked back at Yorkton Auction Centre...right where it started over three months ago.
We woke up to a much cooler day and a very strong NW wind...perfect for driving in to, especially with the Freightliner. We tossed around whether we should move the load to Yorkton today, or wait until tomorrow morning and hope the wind had gone down, but in the end we decided today was the day to get the move done and over with.
We got the door put back together after our window-fixing event, then got the shop trailer somewhat cleaned out and the necessary tools moved over to the pickup. We figured if we broke down, Kim has a shop full of whatever we might need for fixing and there was no sense in the Dodge not pulling anything up to Yorkton, so it had to go.
Once we got the Freight hooked back up to the trailer and fueled it up, we started off for Yorkton. We ran into a couple or three freak rain showers as we went through the Moose Mountain Park, but other than that it was 'buck the wind' all the way up. We got to Yorkton, parked the rig out behind the Yorkton Auction Centre, then took the back road out to our farm to drop off the shop trailer by the house.
Once we got back into town, we went for Chinese buffet then stopped at the Gallagher Centre so Al could pick up his season tickets for the junior hockey team...his Terriers. Unfortunately, the office wasn't open so he couldn't get his tickets, but Marilyn has promised she will call and get them at the early bird price before Sept. 9.
We left Yorkton, then stopped in Grayson on the way home to pick up our mail...a much smaller bag than last time we picked it up. After a quick visit with Raymond, we headed back for Carlyle...another uneventful drive except for the terrible 8 miles of road from Grayson to the main highway. There are so many of those red diamond 'bump' signs that the road looks like it is lit up...nasty.
We got back to Carlyle around 10pm and after having a visit with Kim, Marg and Gordie, we called it a night and headed for the camper.
And there are frost warnings for tonight...brrr...
