Tuesday July 23rd

We were all up fairly early this morning so that we would be ready for Lloyd when he called but it began to rain about seven o'clock and rained quite hard for an hour or more so we thought Lloyd wouldn't go but about half past eight young Myers came over and told us that Neff had telephoned down to tell us to go around by Simcoe & Brantford and meet him and the rest of the bunch in Hamilton so we got ready and went down to the mill where he said Lloyd would call for us. We waited there for an hour and then went up to Henry Misner's where we found Lorne all togged up waiting and we hung around there till noon but Lloyd never showed up so we went home. Charlie Stitt came past and said he saw tracks out of Crysler's lane as if a car had come out skidded all over the road and gone back again. Frank went up to Sim coe this after noon and got our check cashed which we got from {Anoka?} Farms for our rams and settled up his insurance with Cruikshanks. Dad. culti vated corn all the after noon and I hoed mangels. Frank and I went up to Ham Thompson's to-night with Daisy May. Ham said he waited all the morning for Lloyd Crysler too. Rainy all morning Sunny & hot this after noon
