An OK day here. Finished field #7, got about 40% of #8 done. I'll have my son until around 10 but cousin Brad will be rolling at 7 and so I asked my gf if she could go out to help him - loading with seed and fert is a lot easier if there are two people............But feeling sort of optimistic. We could have been done Monday, easily, as we should get switched over to do canola (just have to change one metering roll in each drill) and probably will even get the 1st canola field done.The new auger hopper should be in this morning. Not sure if I'll put it on today or maybe after the rain.But the forecast for tomorrow is 5 to 10 mm with 60 km winds. That ought to be interesting to watch! I really am OK with it happening especially if it blows east far enough to Fort McMurray and helps that situation out. And if as a result I don't get done until Tuesday I'll be fine resting until I can roll again. Besides which 10 mm isn't going to stop me much, I assume as soon as it is not actually raining I'll be able to roll in the fields again.So, things are at this point looking more positive for Ponoka. Logistically it will be tough though. If I want to take my son with me then I have to wait until he gets out of school and then have to start for Edmonton immediately. Or if he really doesn't want to go then I could leave him with mom and dad................have to play it by ear as the week progresses I guess.Cheers,Garry
