View of the day-The drive-in at Winner...they have come a long way and it wasn't that long ago that there were two of them here in Winner.
Woke up to the shining sun, a nice change from the past few days and tonight there is only a slight chance of rain, then we will be home-free for a few days.
We went into Winner to get our annual harvest permits from the county treasurer. Last year they were changing their licensing over and the lineups were out the door and into the hall...this year they were just lined up to the door...and no one was in a rush.
After finally getting the permits, Al went to get fuel and dropped Marilyn off to get a shopping fix in...one bag per store limit...they do have some pretty big bags in those stores. After a visit with our farmer at the fuel station, we picked up a few groceries and rolled back to Hamill.
On the way down we saw one combine in the field that had just finished cutting a sample, but that was it. On the way back, however, we saw combining in three different fields...perhaps they have drying capabilities. Either way, Al was almost thinking he should go take a test, but changed his mind once we got back to Hamill. He did hook the header up and get the combine fueled up, for tomorrow...we try it.
Back at the camper, Marilyn pulled out the sewing machine to get some alterations done...and to make sure that the "if it doesn't get used, it doesn't come next year" rule was covered. Al checked out a couple of episodes of Corner Gas and Ice Road Truckers before going to listen to some conspiracy theories from his XM Radio shows.
Ahhh...life in the fast lane...
