October 28

View of the day-The mountain comes to mohammed as the combine dumps in the truck at the auger.

Another morning with the usual rituals,...clean, fuel, unload, and go. After getting the truck moved out to the field, Marilyn got to go into Jamestown to get Al a few things before she set off for Canada again. Once she returned with Al's lunch, she unloaded the truck so Al would be able to keep running for the rest of the day without her. The bin was almost full and the farmer needed the auger for soybeans, so there would be no more unloading today anyway.

Marilyn got the truck back in the field, then packed up to go home for the rest of the week for the drama festival her theatre group was entered in. After a short stop in Minot to...ahem..."stretch her legs"...where else? Someplace warm, out of the weather, lots of room to get the heart rate up pushing a cart around...that's right...Walmart...to get the winter's stash of "Flamin' Hot Cheetos"...just can't get them in Canada. And why is cheese so darn expensive at home? The plan had been to go all the way back to Yorkton, but she decided to stay over at her sisters in Carlyle to split the trip up.

And make use of the high speed connection...
