October 1, 2009


View of the day-The Qu'Appelle Valley at Round Lake just before the rain started...again.
We woke up to rain on the roof around 4:30am and even though we knew we would be able to sleep in, we were up early...not 8am early...but early for a rainy day.

It came down pretty much all day off and on...sometimes heavy and the last report was over an inch had fallen. That was earlier in the day and we never did go out to the combine to check the rain gauge...could be more.

Al went into town for a garbage run and to see if we could get the pickup in to the body shop to get the fender fixed...from the parking lot incident last winter where someone backed into it and fled the scene. We can take it in tomorrow and leave it for the day and it will finally be good as new by quitting time.

The rest of the day was pretty much spent inside the camper until we left to go down to Chillys bar down at Round Lake for their steak night. We, along with Eugene, were passengers of a couple from England that had moved to the area a couple of years ago. We had an excellent steak supper, then left to come home...in the rain again. Another soaker had started and we drove in it the 25 miles back to the farm.

Back in the camper it was more internet and TV...after all hockey season has started...
