and then it was Friday morning...

Garry was trying to get the holes and bolts lined up

 I am limping around today, my injured toe hurts, but it hurts less if I keep my weight on my heel (see yesterday's post for more on my misadventures with the cast iron wheel in the photos.) My upper left arm is pretty sore and mostly red and purple, it's going to look really colorful for weeks, I bet (I bruise easy to begin with.) Glad to say my right hand is feeling fine, just scratches on my wrist. So I will lie on the couch with my foot up and crochet anyway. I turned down Victor's offer of a trip to the hospital this morning, I wouldn't have gone if we were home in Canada


 Garry was able to get the part almost attached to the plow- two bolts started-  with Andrei's help last night after my accident.

I was standing on this side holding it while Garry banged with a hammer

Maybe I should get safety crocs...the edge of the wheel hit right at the bottom of my big toenail. My fake crocs weren't damaged, just my toe!

Garry had to get up at 6 am when his small load of brewers grain arrived, but then his bigger one didn't happen so he had to drive over to Molozaharina this morning to buy a wagonful from the big farmer there. So last time he got 17 tons, and had two ton left from before- was supposed to last ten days, it was closer to two weeks. This time he got 10, instead of the same amount as expected (and no leftovers in the pit) so the cows will be getting less brewers grain to eat, he can't get any more for two weeks. We may need to purchase some moocooka (sunflower meal) to get more protein in the ration.He drove to Salone to pay for the brewers grain in the wagon and pick up some salt and lime to feed the cows- right now they are feeding ground grain instead of the grain from the mill with it mixed in already.

Garry was getting ready to dump his load in the pit around noon
