November 18, 2008


View of the day-Here's one combine that won't get parked for the winter...a custom made wooden combine from Bob Lemieux. He's married to Marilyn's cousin and is a twice retired custom harvester from Alberta.

We were up early even though Marilyn didn't work until 10:30am. Al took the General in to the muffler shop to finally get the exhaust fixed...there wasn't much left holding it together at the elbow. Al is quite pleased because now the smoke comes out where it should...at the top instead of into the cab.

Marilyn started learning the ropes in the furniture department at Staples...a change from computers(sorry Ivan) and file folders...but not quite as good as the copy centre...all things come to those who wait. After work, Marilyn decided to shop for some new work pants...can anyone explain why, as the sizes get larger, the leg length is shorter? And who decided that a 32 inch inseam is universal...maybe she has to team up with a short person and add the length they have to cut off to her pants.

Al was disappointed when he stopped in at H&R Block where he worked in the spring...it wasn't a tax issue. He couldn't tell them any stories of the summer because they had been following this blog.

Mission accomplished...
