Well, it's almost Friday. A long week of moving grain but as of tonight, it should almost be all in. Good basis and good price and moves bags away from yard home and a few at home.
Farm show yesterday in Brandon, Good time but for the life of me I can't figure out why every single year we go to that show we come home with some kind of new tool, jack or something. This year is no different. A few years ago we saw a tool that heats up stubborn stuck pins with coils, but just the pin, not the surrounding area is cool to the touch. Or a bolt with two stuck nuts and you heat the nuts but hold the bolt in your finger. Then loosen real easy. Well it was back at Brandon and a company from Alberta was selling it, We now own the tool. I for one know that in the three years we didn't have it I bet you there were 50 times or more we could have used it.
Great show lots to see and no charge. Ah, Manitoba you have some things figured out.
JT supporters on way to Brandon or in Brandon we talked to None! He is officially the most hated man in Canada. At least in the West.
Those who come on and support every single thing Trudeau does or says help the other parties gain support because anyone with half a brain can see he is totally idiotic and should step down. The media usually hit a point where it can't help their favourite dog and finally put it down.
Cold this morning in Regina, tooth problems so off to get the crown finished and truck seats are like hard as a rock.
Funny thing also talked to two farmers who always drive Diesel trucks and they are going back to gas saying the price of Diesel and truck just doesn't add up.
Also, funny got price on 9620RX and my side is still sore from all the laughing I did. Keep up the good work Deere.
Snow is Min in most places in Sask/Alberta/Man. Also of note, the one news station in Florida warned residents to bundle up their kids and help the homeless plus limit your time outside with a high yesterday of 49. Really I would have a Bunny Hug and shorts and sandals.
One more week and its back to our southern home actually love my time up here but kind of getting anxious to get home again.
Good play at globe theatre in Regina, go with an open mind but watch how good the actors are changing roles throughout the show.
Super Bowl is on Feb 3 and everyone will be cheering for Tom Brady/ Not!
Its cold and a hot drink.
