September 5, 2011

View of the day-Al gets to pick up some canola…finally.

We got to sleep in a bit, then went to work getting the last of the tweaking and cleaning done on the combine…we had high hopes to start after lunch. We had lunch in the house, then after Bob did a couple of tests, it was time to get the machines into position and ready for action.

Gordie drove Kim’s rig, Bob was in his JD and Al got to drive our machine…Kim had the hauling job for the day. We didn’t need the General or an extra driver, so Marilyn had the day off to get some work done in the camper. For instance, after giving the water pump a couple of knocks…it started working. Not sure for how long though.

It was a gorgeous day and the guys made some time getting that canola picked up, finishing around 7:30pm, then going over to Bob and Audrey’s for supper. Marilyn and Marg grabbed a quick snack at home in between doing the books and working online.

Another good day tomorrow and we will be done here and ready to move again…
