November 23, 2009

View of the day-Shades of the summer...this lineup was at the elevator north of Yorkton that we pass on our way home.

Yesterday Marilyn drove Al to the farmers yard to pick up the combine and road it home to Yorkton, while she got to do some more set construction. We had a cat that was quite interested in what we were doing...or maybe it was just a warm place to sit in the crisp morning air. It took Al 2 and 1/2 hours to get back home even avoiding the traffic by taking the back roads most of the way.

Today Al got the combine all cleaned off...not washed, though...too cold to bring out the pressure washer. Then he loaded up the General with all the branches that he had cut down so we could get around the back of the house to load up the lumber from our deck. It is on the north side of the house and had gotten quite rotten, so it had to go. After driving to the village dump that we are allowed to use, thanks to our outrageous taxes, he discovered that it was locked, pending some sort of environmental report...now we have no where to dump. He check into taking it to the Yorkton dump...they would let him dump it...for $140!

Looks like there might be a big bonfire happening in the near future...
