September 28, 2009


View of the day-More like yesterday...without the rain. Cold, cloudy and windy.

We were up early, even though we were pretty sure we could sleep in. We decided to go to Yorkton to get the van licensed so we would have two vehicles...it is hockey season after all and Al will likely book off so he can go spectate...this way Marilyn doesn't have to walk home from the field.

We woke up to the furnace fan blowing...but blowing cold air...we were out of propane, so Al took the empty tank off and went into town to get it filled. Twice the price we paid in the US for the same tank...but we can't argue...unless we want to freeze. Al went over to Gerald to visit with his brother, Jeff, then came back in time to have lunch before we left for Yorkton.

We went to get the registration renewed for the van then went out to the farm to get it started after it had been sitting all summer. Marilyn left to visit the Staples crew and Al grabbed his hockey season tickets before going to visit his co-workers at H&R Block. After fueling up both vehicles, we met with Marilyn's friend for supper before coming back to Esterhazy.

We did see a few combines going on the way back to the camper, but they were all going in canola...different conditions than the wheat we will be going into. Eugene was combining his canola when we got home so Marilyn decided to get a couple loads of laundry done before the lineup to the shower started.

Tomorrow we get back at it...
