June 17, 2011

View of the day-Back in the ‘campground’…such as it is.

We made it through the storms that passed through the area last night, getting a bit of rain and LOTS of wind. Those awnings over the slides are certainly weather-tough…noisy, but well attached.

With no combining on the agenda for the day, we had a short ‘to-do’ list to keep us busy for the day. First on the list was to get the camper closed up for the visit to the RV place to get the new waterpump installed. We stopped for lunch before making our appointment at 1pm and since they told us it wouldn’t even take an hour, we decided we might as well wait until it was finished rather than unhook and hook up again.

Once they had finished, we took it back to the campground…the guys in lot #7, where we were supposed to be parking, were apparently in a different time zone or something, because their ‘staying for one night’ had already stretched into three nights. So we went back to where we had been in the first place. Plus we had unloaded a bunch of stuff from the camper and left it along the building, so we had to go back to park there.

We went on our parts run to the CaseIH store…where ProHarvest had just pulled in for their next stop in the harvest run. We picked up a new cab filter for the combine and an antenna for Al’s radio in the tractor…no idea where the old one disappeared to. We stopped to order an new air filter for the Freightliner and a new shock for the General…neither of them in stock, but they would be in early in the week.

That was the extent of harvest related activities. We went back to the camper and Marilyn was able to get the dish set up between the camper and the building…and aimed it in three minutes! That has to be some kind of a record.

Good thing too, Al had to watch the pre-season Saskatchewan Roughrider game…
