1600 plus homes but I haven't heard anything updated in two days now. How do you rebuild a city? But then again a lot of that sort of thing occurred in Europe and Japan during the war so it can be done.
Forecast for here (almost directly west of Fort McMurray by a few 100 km's) is showers for Saturday and showers and RAIN for Sunday. I can wait yet so I hope it all goes east instead and helps end things there.
Straightened the auger, ordered a new hopper for it which should arrive tomorrow morning. Tube and flighting were also damaged but we cut replacement sections from an old auger and brazed them into place. May it hold!
Hump day yesterday, 6 fields of 12 done.
Going to be a less productive day today though. Cousin Brad got called back to work but will still come evenings and weekends. My gf has an interview today (!) and it is an Aidan day so I have to take him to school this morning and also leaving early afternoon to get him so about 3 to 4 hours lost there.
Another hard to believe situation, the new alternator on the 895 appears to be toast so i have to see if Greggs has another one on hand. Sort of frustrating.
But overall still pretty happy and upbeat.
Talked to my son about going to Ponoka - he's not interested! Unless there is going to be an XBox console in the parking lot and a bevy of 11 year old girls handy??!!
Cheers,
Garry
