September 7, 2010


View of the day-Not a lot of action at the Weyburn Inland Terminal...not a lot of action anywhere, really.

Today was a day Marilyn had been looking forward to...camper 'browsing'. We had been looking online for an upgrade to the current camper...it has been making the run for 8 years already, after all. We had found a couple in Weyburn, so today we had the chance to 'kick some tires'.

We stopped for lunch and at the CaseIH dealer to pick up some parts before we went over to Minard's Leisure World to check out one of the campers that Marilyn had found. The saleswoman showed us a couple more...all beautiful campers, but not one of them had all the features we were looking for. We were, however, able to get a new handle for the awning on our camper and Marilyn can finally start using the microwave again...$30 later and she has a new turntable glass plate to replace the one that jumped out a couple weeks ago.

We went back to Carlyle and stopped at Carlyle RV to look at a couple of campers that they had for sale after the big hail went through. Again, they were beautiful, but lacked all the things we were looking for in one camper...a sign, perhaps, that the 'one is out there somewhere?

We went out to the combine to see if we could get the air cleaner issue rectified.We talked to a service manager in Yorkton and he suggested checking the outlet on the air cleaner housing that runs to the muffler.

We opened up the engine compartment...and the pipe was right off the muffler. When we tried to put it back on, the bottom of the pipe slipped right off the air cleaner housing. After digging around in the opening on the housing that the pipe came off, we found quite a bit of fine dust, so we cleaned out as much as we could, then put the hose back on and really tightened the clamps on both ends.

Once we started the combine and revved it up there was a fountain of dust shooting out of the muffler...get out the Easy Button! We are pretty sure the problem has been solved, a
lthough we won't be sure until we get to combine again...if that ever happens.

Although we did see the sun today...and it was even warm out...
