View of the day-It's good to see the fire extinguisher comes through the fire okay. This machine was parked in the John Deere dealer in Jamestown, ND.
Al was up extra early...couldn't sleep, a combination of the three hour nap and something about snoring by someone in the room. We had about .8 inches of rain last night and there were puddles all around so combining was out...what else to do?
Al finally got to go into town to do his form of shopping...which now has a name. Marilyn noticed that he puts one foot in a store, then the other, then pretty much turns around and walks out, so now we will call Al's shopping style the "hokey pokey". So after picking up a toy from the Case store, he spent the rest of the day sitting in the pickup reading and listening to the radio...Marilyn picked up the slack, though.
While passing the electronics department in Walmart she saw one of the workers unloading a pallet with one Wii Fit left...what luck! She has been trying to get her hands on one since she had gotten her Wii, but they are as scarce as hen's teeth...you have to be lucky enough to be in the store when they get their stock of five or ten units. The bonus was that it was ten bucks cheaper than anywhere else...although the way the exchange rate has been going...
We finished getting the things we needed and went back out to the farm. Al checked his eyelids for cracks to make up for the early morning and Marilyn tried the last few things to get Donna's computer working, but it was as the folks on the emachine forum had predicted...fried motherboard, so a new computer seems to be on the horizon.
But on the bright side, the weather looks good for the rest of the week...

Al watched the baseball game while listening to his Terriers hockey team play by play on the radio...pretty depressing...they were up 4-0 and lost 5-4 in overtime.

hey Marilyn. I've seen a number of the Wii Fits lately. My local Wal-Marts have gone to putting all hard to find Wii paraphernalia out for sale only at 8 A.M. on Saturday mornings. I'm not sure how wide spread that practice is. We're stalled out on bean harvest because of weather too.

We're stalled out on soybean/corn harvest because of weather too. God's blessings on the rest of your harvest.
