View of the day-The combine done for the year…nice and shiny.
We were up early with the intention of finishing off the combine cleaning, but the temperature was 35ºF and the wind was nasty strong out of the NW. We tried to get a few other things done while we waited for it to warm up.
While Al went to town to do a few errands and pick up a sub for lunch, Marilyn decided to bite the bullet and start washing the combine. It took a while and when Al got back, he helped finish it off, then Marilyn got started getting the camper battened down for the last trip home.
Once the camper was ready, we attempted to start the Freightliner so we could hook up the cart trailer and take it to it’s winter storage field. The block heater didn’t seem to be working, so we had to pump the ether to it and give it a boost, but it finally ran…no one wanted to work in this cold weather. While it and the General were airing up, we got the Dodge hooked up to the camper, then headed for the trailers that were left in the field where we unloaded.
Marilyn drove the General out since we had to use the hydraulics on it to lift the trailer…usually the tractor does the lifting. By the time Marilyn got to the field, Al was having a chin wag with Glen from Whitewood, who had stopped by to see how we were making out. Once the trailer was hooked up, Marilyn drove the General back to the yard, parked it then started off for home with the camper.
Al got the trailer unhooked out at his friend’s farm near Saltcoats…where we have been parking stuff for the past few years. We got back to the farm at about the same time…from different directions, and after Al got the Freight backed into its winter spot, we got the camper parked in the unload station, ready for Marilyn to go to work.
Al got cleaned up and Marilyn got half the camper emptied out, then we took a break to go for steaks at the rink before the hockey game that Al was going to attend. Marilyn left Al at the game and came back home to get some more unpacking done. Fortunately our neighbour lady, Darlene, works at the concession at the rink and regularly gives Al a ride back from the games.
And now the battle with dial-up begins…
