Cooking Tom this morning. Monday is travel to Edmonton day.
Put the stripper header on the combine, picked up a hopper of wheat that tested 18.9. Dry is 14.3%. High yielding but low quality - seems there is some frost damage. Peas almost done drying so with luck get the wheat going. Showed Jesse the art of the stripper header as well. It will be HUGE to know he is combining when I am getting treatment weather permitting.
The harness for the hand was simple and so beneficial. Why didn't I do this months ago and saved myself a lot of pain. Half the meds of normal last night. Trying the charcoal bandages, seems to have made a big difference too. Now I won't have to worry about small children running in terror when I come in olfactory range! The hand I can best describe as going from a grape to a raisin - it is that wrinkled.
Aidan came with me to the farm yesterday as well. Went shopping with mom and then helped dad and Jesse unplug an auger. The best moments for him next to time with me I believe.
So am I thankful this year? The most of any Thanksgiving ever I'd say. I'm still the luckiest guy alive!
Cheers,
Garry
