You can blame my lack of posts lately on facebook's Words with Friends, Garry recently started playing after some of our sons in Canada invited me to play, and he is on the internet way more now. We are also down a computer, I am bringing my giant HP back so Noah can put the old stuff on the new computer I am getting, the motherboard is gone in it. He tells me that he may buy one at Black Friday shopping in the states.
Garry has been up at 3 am the last two days, and going out to plow until about 8 am, when Maxim takes over for the rest of the day. Max will still be plowing next week from what I understand. He finally got everything lined up and welded back together on the center of the three bottom plow on Sunday and finished up all the gardens he had to plow Monday morning. In case you are wondering there are no trip-bottom plows for sale over here, and the cast iron broke when it hit a small thing- there are not any stones, the new repairs are all steel, so this should be the strongest one now.
Today Garry came in at 8 am, showered and packed a lunch for his fieldtrip to see a demonstration farm with the students, it sounded like they enjoyed the trip although a few were feeling carsick by the time they got back to the village around 4 pm- they made the trip in Victor's van. I'll get some photos up later this week on the trade school blog. Then most of the students came to our house at six pm for pizza, salad, and in honor of American Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie with whipped cream. They also played UNO with Garry, they all want a set for their houses now. Garry was ready for bed by 8:15 a couple of the girls helped clean up, and everyone was gone shortly after, walking back to the houses before 9 pm.
Our bags are mostly packed for our flight tomorrow afternoon, we'll land in Winnipeg at 6 pm Saturday, after overnighting in Frankfurt.
Friday morning- Garry went out to plow at 4 am this morning, he had some problems, it was so cold the ground was frozen he had trouble getting the plow in the ground. Yesterday when Maxim got there they put 40 liters of fuel into the tractor, but he'd only used half as much today. The sun is out so it will warm up, Max will pow the rest of the day. They just got another 5 hectares to rent for next year- and plow before they finish plowing. It is about 400 dollars for fuel to plow that 5 hectares. We are spending alot of money on fuel for the tractor this week, and we just paid for a delivery of feed that came yesterday afternoon. Soon the farm will be making money, instead of spending it.
