May 23, 2008


View of the day-Deja-vu of 20 days ago...except for a .49 price change.

Another terribly windy day, we were glad we wouldn't be driving in it...for a while at least. We went down to the shop to see how long we would be waiting for the transmission to be fixed, and although he didn't have the tranny right there, the old one was laying on the floor in pieces. That meant it wouldn't be that long once it did arrive.

We killed a lot of time and around 4:30 got the call that everything was back together, tested and ready for the road. We went down and got settled up, hooked up the combine trailer to the General, then got the camper flanged in and headed south.

We cursed the wind during the day, but it was even worse driving in it...no chance of seeing high gear. We decided that Gettysburg would be the destination for the day...only 50 miles, but a tough 50. We got here around 6pm, fueled up...ouch...then got the camper set up at the town park.

We talked to our farmers in Oklahoma to let them know our predicament, and they informed us that there wouldn't be any testing until next week as the temps had been unseasonably cool. Things are looking a bit behind normal here with the spring wheat just starting to show in a lot of the fields.

Could be a long season...
