View of the day-A new ride for the combine.

An early morning for both of us, Al was heading out to Balcarress to drive truck again and Marilyn off to Staples to work. Just as Al was heading out the door the phone rang it was a call from a farmer who had some harvesting still needing to be done, he had a local harvester who said he would do it but with the crappy weather through October he didn't get to it and is still working for another farmer. It was near Dubuc about an hour south of Yorkton.

The registration on the combine trailer and the General had expired but the farmer said he could haul the grain so Al decided to take the job and he would road the combine the 50 miles. However before driving the combine Al called his former employer Kardynal Transport to see if he could haul the combine for him fortunately his truck wasn't busy that day so with the help of Al's friend Danny, they loaded the combine and strapped it down and headed out to Dubuc around 2:00 PM got there unloaded and back in Yorkton and before dark which is quite an accomplishment considering it gets dark at 5:30 these days.

Tomorrow we combine flax...
