September 13, 2008



View of the day-Putting the final trim on the garage door.

No rain during the night, but we got up to a cool cloudy day. We went out to the field even though it wasn't looking too promising...still no rain but really dark skies to the west.

Al dumped the General while Marilyn serviced the combine, then made a round to check the moisture...not quite dry enough...in fact, it was wet. The farmer couldn't see us getting started at all today...the rain was inevitable, so we went back to Carlyle. We didn't see a combine going anywhere between Kisbey and Carlyle...not a good sign.

Back at the camper, we found that Kim wasn't doing any combining either. Marg had gone to Estevan to pick up a new garage door...and a Wii for Marilyn...so when she got back we had the afternoon mapped out. It eventually rained, just as we thought it might, but we didn't get the downpour they had Estevan...but it did confirm that combining was out.

Marilyn helped out with the garage door and Al made sure it was warm enough in the camper. It took about four hours, but we managed to get the old one out and the new one in...and working properly...a nice bonus.

Followed by an evening of football...
