View of the day-Al stands next to one, of only a handful of CaseIH STX tractors that was painted in the original Steiger colors. It was parked at a farm north of Aberdeen that belongs to L&O Acres who farm over 100,000 acres in five states...more or less.
We were up early to get ready for a road trip to South Dakota. We had settled up with the farmer over coffee and since we were going to Aberdeen anyway, we drove the extra 40 miles south to get to a branch of our bank to make sure the deposit would cover any potential shopping spree that Marilyn should decide to go on in the big city. Unfortunately for her, she had left her debit card on the counter back at the farm...there was some strong language when that mistake was discovered...and it did not come from Al.
We had to make a stop at Meyer's Salvage to pick up a tractor muffler for someone back in Canada. We found some replacement door handles for the General so hopefully they will work and we can finally get into the cab without going through the passenger door. We also made a toy stop at the CaseIH dealer and then Marilyn hit Target and Kmart...but not Walmart...amazing. After stopping at McDonalds for supper, we stopped at the Dodge dealership and left some drool on the long line of one ton trucks they had lined up...for under $35,000! This was the first place we saw diesel fuel for under $3...it was $2.93 a gallon...a good place to fill the slip tank.
We got back to the farm around 8pm...in time for Monday Night Football and an early night in. Tomorrow will be a big day with loading up and moving the rigs to Kenmare.
But more on that later...
