Water

While St Labre, Manitoba was wet Sunday (it poured all morning when we went to church in Piney, and I took this photo at 9 pm), Garry did not get his hoped for thunderstorm yesterday.  However on Monday morning the guy did come to show them how to operate the reel and "gun" to water the alfalfa.

Unfortunately the water company turned the water off shortly after that, but it was supposed to be back on at midnight.  He told me that they would start attaching the big lay flat hoses to the little plastic drip lines so they can water the corn fields this week. The old hoses won't take too long to get ready, but the new field will need to have the holes punched in the hose and the connections put in before attaching the lines. Everyone will be happy when the job is done.

Garry did put up some photos of the turkeys and goslings in the cage he built them so they can spend the days outside.

Garry did not get much of the field watered yet. He said there was a three meter section of hose that was not very good that joined the reel to the pipe,  it blew apart under pressure.  They were supposed to have a new piece to replace it by eight o'clock,  and they would try again.
