Lately we have been just going along keeping things going, getting ready for silaging and harvest as well as picking peas and beans. Yesterday as we were servicing some equipment my cell phone rang, with Shelly B. on the other end letting me know that one of our cube vans wouldn't start. Luckily the van was only 2 miles away and finished for the day. This van had just came back from Millerville near Calgary and previously was at Sherwood Park near Edmonton and was slated to go to Calgary the next day. How lucky can we get that it broke down at the end of the day back at home, rather than stranding us in Edmonton or Calgary.
Randy and I jumped in the service truck and went over to have a look. After some investigation, we found a faulty solenoid that was hard to see because it was buried down underneath (as per usual). On Sunday we will be sending a different truck to Calgary and on Monday we have to try and find some parts to get this truck back on the road again. Monday is the only day of the week that we don't go to markets and we usually wash and service our trucks then.
