Today was moving day...for the camper, at least. Al had the last day of the Regina Toy Show to attend with Roger, so he was gone early...not as early as yesterday, though. The show didn't open until 10am today, so he got to sleep in a bit.
Marilyn, on the other hand, had the camper to close up and get ready to move. Normally, most of it gets done the night before, but not this time...it would be the last move of the season before winterizing and parking. Once the camper was hooked up, she stopped at the house to drop off some maps, then said goodbye and was on her way home.
Uneventful trip, except that there seemed to be a several vehicles coming towards her that were covered in snow. Not a good sign. By the time she got home, there was snow on the ground, but only enough to make a mess. After the camper got parked in its "unloading zone", the dish had to get set up so Al would have his NFL when he got home.
Marilyn had rehearsal at 1pm, so she had time for a quick shower before heading into town. After rehearsal was over, it was back to the farm for the dreaded unloading of the camper. Which strategy to use this year...load one rubbermaid tub, then bring it in and unload it...or load several tubs and bring them all in to unload...or load everything into tubs and bring them in one at a time to unload. The last one seemed to be the one selected. Too bad there weren't enough tubs to do the job.
Al made it home from the toy show around 8pm, after stopping to catch the last five minutes of the Terriers hockey game in town. He had a pretty good day of sales...for a Sunday...the income goes to his "Dyersville fund". That trip is coming up pretty quick at the end of the month.
We are still getting calls for combining, but at least they are a bit closer to home...like a couple miles...so we won't need the camper. Harvest isn't done yet.
But first we have to get the combine home...
