September 22, 2008


View of the day-Sunsets on the old shed out side of Esterhazy.

Well, it rained during the night, so it was a good thing we kept going to get the barley done. It didn't amount to much at the camper, but when we went into town it was clear that they had gotten a lot more.

We decided to take the combine into the welding shop to get a patch put on the floor of the pickup head. It is a few years old and with some of the rocks that have been picked up during the past seasons, it was getting pretty scarred and worn. They were able to work on it today and since there would be no combining, it worked out pretty good. We dropped the small tire off the pickup head that had gone flat at the tire shop to get fixed as well.

We went over to Grayson to do some banking and some visiting, then drove up to Yorkton to pay our taxes and shop around a bit. Marilyn got to check out the old Dairy Producers building that is being renovated into storage space...a massive building that has been sitting empty for years...lots of potential.

We came home the back way and checked out the crops on the way back to the camper...not a lot of combines going. Back at the farm, Al got his trucks and cart unloaded, then we fixed the tarp by putting a new elastic on the closing mechanism.

Marilyn was was working on the blog when the internet went down at the camper...good thing she had to go into town to pick up a pizza.

Canola tomorrow...if it doesn't rain...
