November 2, 2008


View of the day-Gas wars in Jamestown, ND...and everything we drive is diesel...

We had the time change last night, very confusing for those of us from the land that never changes time...we guess we got to sleep in...or did we? Either way we enjoyed a fabulous day really warm and sunny with just a breath of wind...and this is November!

We went into Jamestown for brunch at the Gladstone Inn's cafe...what a waste...no service and when we did get service...well...let's just say they weren't "people persons" and leave it at that. After that debacle, we walked over to the Civic Center to check out the toys that were going to be on the auction that was starting at noon. Marilyn left Al at the auction with Mike, who had shown up on his own and she went to Kmart to take advantage of the blue light specials that were advertised in the weekend flyer.

Al came home with two new tractors and Marilyn found some deals on Halloween clearance stuff...but none of the stuff that was in the flyer...what gives? Well, it was the first day of the sale. She went back to get Al and they went back to the farm to get some cleaning done on the combine.

Al got the header all strapped up into the fixed position, while Marilyn got the dusty job of blowing off all the chaff of the combine. By the time they finished, it was already dark...dang time change...but because they have done it so many times this year, were able to load the header on the trailer in the dark.

There's still the washing to look forward to...
