September 1, 2008


View of the day-It was a day for the ducks near the Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge.

It started raining in the early hours of the morning and continued to rain and mist off and on all day. We knew there wouldn't be much combining going on and the road out to the field would probably be a bit moist, so we decided to hit the bright lights to get some laundry done.

It really wasn't a good day to hit Minot since all the Labor Day vacationers were getting their last day of shopping in. Al got his Pizza Hut fix in for lunch, then we went to do the laundry...at the nicest laundromat on the run. All state of the art machines...washers that hold 6 loads and dryers so big you could almost stand up in them...and that actually dry the clothes.

After the laundry, Al dropped Marilyn off at Walmart while he went to the Case and John Deere dealers for grease and toys...in that order. Marilyn found that Walmart was as busy as Christmas...quite crazy...and a forever wait at the cash registers. Good thing they supply those magazine racks at the tills for customer convenience.

After the shopping was done we headed back to Kenmare...boy, the traffic on the highway...was anyone left in Saskatchewan? After unloading the truck and getting everything put where it belonged it was time to call it a day, get caught up on the latest hurricane Gustave news and check things out online.

Tomorrow is fix-it day...
