Yesterday we went to Yorkton in the rain. We stopped at the CaseIH dealer to pick up some bulbs for the combine that we assume are burnt out...could be a fuse since they are all on the same side, but just to be safe, we got some to take back with us.
Al was having some pain in his shoulder and back, so he stopped at the walk in clinic to see a doctor. He came out with a shopping list of drugs to help out with the pain. Then we were off to get a couple of new batteries for the pickup and a few other things on our list. Once we had everything on our list we headed out to the farm for the night.
Today we got to enjoy the brunch at the casino in town...and that was the only cash we dropped there. Neither of us is a casino goer...Marilyn figures the $40 she would lose at the slot machines will buy her a bag of stuff at Walmart that she can't live without.
We had to take the old batteries back to get the core fee, then Marilyn had to have a visit at Staples. We went back out to the farm to do a bit of yard cleaning and to try to get the grain cart PTO shaft loosened up so it could be connected to the tractor. It was seized up from sitting so long and the last time we were home we lubed it up as much as we could and even had it hooked on to the pickup to try and get it to telescope. We finally got it to break free when we hooked up a loadbinder...haven't needed to use one of those for a really long time...then pulled with the pickup and tightened with the binder. A few shots up the length of it with a large tool and it finally came loose.
Al got the grass cut and Marilyn took down the gazebo cover. With a strong NW wind, the leaves were piling up as fast as we could sweep them off, so we gave up on even trying. Not that we ever did anything with them before...there will be another big wind come through and move them somewhere else for us. Or they will spend the winter rotting where they are.
Maybe it only rained one tenth at the field...
