View of the day-As promised yesterday, the flat storage at Frederick just ate too much...we've had those days after the Chinese buffet!
No power all night and all day actually. It was promised at noon, then 5, then...we gave up when we met someone from Davidson when we were in Frederick and he said he had heard two days! He was buying 6 bags of ice, so we decided we had better make a plan.
It was too hot to stay in the camper with no A/C and with the power out everywhere else...the elevator where the General was sitting at Harrold, the city of Vernon...it was not a good day in the area. The winds had knocked high line poles down and crippled a lot of the area and not just the rural areas. The good news was that there wasn't any hail in this area.
We came into Frederick to settle up with one of our farmers and then get the new radiator put into the pickup, since the rain had given us time. The "Rad King" had given us a vehicle to use while he worked on our truck and we were just going to spend the afternoon in the library surfing and doing a bit of reading. By the time we checked into the Napa for parts and a few other things, it was time to pick up the truck.
On the way into Frederick, we came upon this vehicle and it looks like he had made his destination...don't have any back story on it yet.
We decided we wouldn't be able to last another night without A/C...it had been another brutally hot day...not as strong a wind, but extremely humid so it would take the better part of the night to cool the place off. No sir, we couldn't do it...then it came to us...we're turtles, we can pick up our house and move where there is power. Which is just what we did. Quite a coincidence that the "Rad King", was also the RV park man, and he was able to accommodate us.
Marilyn took Al to Harrold to get the General and bring it to Frederick to sit in line while they unloaded. On his way back through Davidson, he stopped to help Marilyn get the "shell" hooked up and then settled up with the landlady. The poor woman was at her wits end trying to stay cool, but she understood and wished us well. After the camper was parked and flanged in, Al went to wait in line while Marilyn finished things up. Al was pretty happy when he got to the elevator and got pushed to the head of the line because a lineup of semis were bringing in wet wheat and they needed dry to blend it off.
So now we are stationed in Frederick, 15 miles north of Davidson and another 12 miles from the field...a long drive, especially since Al will have to be hauling here to Frederick. Oh, well, shut up and drive, we're in the bright lights now. No phone, but...wireless everywhere!!
Time to think about a generator...
