View of the day-All colors are waiting out at the Sale Barn near Gettysburg, SD...and the clouds will make the wait a little longer.

No need to get up early today, the clouds made sure we wouldn't be combining...time to find something else to do. We went to the Rock for breakfast then decided we couldn't put the inevitable any longer...it was time to do the books.

After getting everything organized...hole punch, folders, date stamp, we commenced the long put off task. It went rather smoothly since we keep a small filer in the pickup and the receipts are all put into categories as we receive them and when the elastic latch won't reach the button anymore, it's bookwork time. While we were working on the books we listened to our home town radion station GX94 online and since it was request time, we emailed one in and the blog got a great plug from Danny Ismond, who is a regular follower.

We got the books finished then went out for a drive to see what was happening around town...the campground was full of harvesters that had nothing to do...the beer clouds were out, so it could be a wild night. We checked out the VFW and it was closed so we stopped at the store to grab something for supper...Marilyn actually remembered how to use the stove. We were just leaving the grocery store when the skies opened up and let loose with a heavy down pour. We got back to the camper, checked out the radar on the weather channel and although we were getting dumped on, it was way worse to the SE of us.

After dishes and digestion, Al read his Tractor House and watched some TV while Marilyn decided since it had stopped raining and the sun had actually come out it was time to wash the windows on the camper. After getting the ladder from the shop trailer she started on the camper, washing, then doing a RainX treatment on the windows...and things went so well that the Dodge windows got the same treatment. Now when it rains, the view will be crystal clear...until the birds do their business again.

And we have more rain on the way tonight...
