Thursday September 23rd
Too wet to do any thing to-day. Frank and George went up to Simcoe Fair in the rain this after noon but I went to sleep instead. They rented a Ford car up there for $10 till after Sunday. Intended going down to Dr. McLaclan's to hear the Dempsey-Tunney fight come over the radio but it poured rain so we stayed home.
Friday September 24th
Frank and George put up the stove pipe on the inside kitchen stove this morning and I went over to Martin's to borrow the snips for them. I went down to Quanbury's to hear the fight returns. Tunney won on points without a knock out. Just 10 rounds. We hooked up to haul alfalfa this after noon but had to put the team back on account of rain. I had to strip part way and wade for cows to-night.
