August 24, 2018

View of the day-Al makes room for the trucks to park in the latest field of oats.

The combines were rolling early this morning, a good strong wind helped that happen. It didn't take long to finish the last 70 acres and move to the next field. This one will take a bit longer since it is five quarter sections.

Marilyn brought Al lunch then after riding around for a bit, headed north to Yorkton. This is her weekend to work at Staples, so she left early to get some errands done before the stores closed.

A brief shot of rain came down in Yorkton, shutting down the local farmers. Al said they had nothing at their field, but there were weather warnings out for the region. That changed about an hour later when they were talking again, it started raining and shut them down. Al said by the time they got back to the yard it had stopped, but it was late enough they stayed quit.

More of the same tomorrow...and a wedding to attend...
