We were up at the crack of dawn to make Carlyle by 8am, and we were only 10 minutes late. Marg and Marilyn were on their way to Moose Jaw to have lunch with their parents, a couple cousins and a sister-in-law, to celebrate their dad's 89th birthday.
Al swapped out headers and the guys got going in the canola just after lunch. Kim's dad came over with his John Deere combine and the three of them kept the truck driver hopping for most of the day.
Marg and Marilyn stopped in Regina to hit up Costco before driving back through the smokey haze to Carlyle. It was tough to see what the weather was supposed to be bringing since it was overcast due to the smoke coming up from the SW. There were weather watches out for the area...something that had only come up in the forecast today...but we couldn't see anything on the horizon. Or the horizon for that matter.
We got out to the field just as the guys were shutting down, then drove back to the camper. There had been a new breaker box put in and when we started up the fan, our power in the camper was gone, so we got the flashlight out to inspect. Looks like we need some more cords...that's tomorrow's job. We got enough juice running to keep the lights on for the night...unless the swather comes into the yard for fuel.
Lots of lightning in the NW...
