September 10, 2010


View of the day-Al cleaning out the General cab and doing some work on the box. Notice the scoop shovel leaning on the truck...just how much crap was in the cab?


We woke up to another cloudy day...at least it wasn't raining...yet.

Al went to work giving Kim a hand with his combine, then they got the General backed into the shop and started to do some welding on the box. Al finally got the horn on the General working and when he took off the bracket holding the air valve for the horn, some of the headliner in the cab started to hang down...another job to work on. When they took a look at what was weighing it down...a mouse house, with nobody home, thank goodness...although that didn't make it smell any better. Kim got the shop vac out and started cleaning out the mess and Al got his trap line set up, then he finished cleaning out the cab.

Marilyn had to meet one of her Staples co-workers at Precision Ag...he was on his way back to Yorkton, from Minot where he is attending college. He was bringing a stash of diet Coke and Twizzlers back for us since we didn't stockpile like we usually do. After meeting and making the exchange, Marilyn went into town to get a couple of jugs of water and a few groceries...what insanity on main street and in the stores...must be the rain.

And of course we had more of that today, with .7 in yesterday, it is adding up and it doesn't look like there is any relief in sight. We had supper in the house with Kim since Marg and Gordie were away at football practice, then Al settled in to watch more football and Marilyn went back to the camper.

Looks like we get to watch football in Estevan tomorrow...
