August 19, 2018

View of the day-Not today, but the first of our summer toy shows...our Parking Lot Sale at H&R Block in Yorkton.

Al went out early and helped to finish off the last of the winter wheat that was left from last night. They had it lapped up by 10:30 am, so everyone came back to the yard. We did a bit of radiator and filter blowing, cleaned the cab then parked to wait for the oats.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders were playing football at 5pm, so we got cleaned up, then drove down to Carlyle to watch the game with Marilyn's sister, Marg and her husband Kim. Marg missed the first part of the game because she was combining peas and wanted to get the truck filled. It was a great game with the Riders winning 40-27 against a team they hadn't beaten since 2013.

Since we won't be combining this week...unless something comes up to fill the gap...we will cover the toy shows we had during July.  The first one was just us set up in the parking lot at H&R Block for the Canada Day weekend. We had a good one last year and decided to do it again...the Mini88 combine even got to see the light of day.

Saturday was a busy day with people showing up before we even opened...some even helped us set up! Sunday we had to dodge the weather and its intermittent rains, but it was a slower day, so we were able to shut down early and get everything packed for the following weekend in Killarney, Manitoba.

Back to the present...we go to Yorkton tomorrow to do a few errands...
