View of the day-Al does a daylight fill to get ready for the oats.

We had fixing on the agenda today. A little bit on the pickup head, some tweaking on the straight head and some greasing and crop setting changes on the combine.

We took an ice cream break when we went into Kipling to get some bulbs for warning lights on the header. With everything on the list crossed off, we were finished for the day...on the equipment at least.

Al had gotten a sticker from a friend that had toured an International Harvester Museum in Florida, so he decided it should go on the door of the combine for laughs.

Our second toy show July 7 & 8 was to Killarney, Manitoba. We have gone for the past few years, suffering in the heat, but enjoying the break and talking to the attendees of their annual threshing show.

This year there was a mix up at the campground due to new caretakers, so we had to move to a different campground to have all the hookups. Roger and Linda from Lipton, SK were able to stay in the campground next to the buildings, so because we couldn't camp next to them, Al missed out on the campfire at night. Not really...that's not his idea of camping, at all.

This year we didn't even get to go out on the grounds to check out the goings on. It could have been because this year featured Jon Deere. It was a good show and it actually wasn't as hot as it has been other years.

We're ready for oats, just waiting for the call...
