September 14, 2010


View of the day-Our 'neigh'bour across the fence, Yeller, doing a fine job of feeding mosquitoes.

The sun was trying to break through all morning and it finally did by the afternoon...it looked promising. Al and Kim took a road trip to Whitewood to pick up the MacDon head that was finished getting the warranty work done on it. They made it back in time for lunch.

After a quick snack, Al took the tractor and cart out to the field and brought the combine back to the yard so he could unload the header from the trailer...and test out the knife reverser. Yeah...about that.

Because they did not have a combine that they could put the header on to test it, they did all the adaptations by the book, then sent it home with Al. After getting it all hooked up, Al discovered that the centre canvas would reverse, but not run the right way and the knife would run the right way, but not reverse. Likely an easy fix, but they are sending someone out to look at it, just to be sure.

About the time Al got back to the camper, it started to sprinkle, so it was time to check his eyelids for cracks while Marilyn worked on a couple of reports for the harvesters association and the theatre board that she is on.

The rain came and went all evening...what's new...
