August 8, 2010

View of the day-The seed truck waits for a load of rye...and waits some more...

We should have realized it was the weekend forecast..no rain? We woke up to grey skies, something that was not supposed to happen at all and it looked like there had been a sprinkle earlier in the morning...just what we didn't need. Al was sure we would be able to try it later on in the afternoon...rather, he hoped we would.

We went to the Rock for Sunday brunch then went out to the field to bring the General in so Al would have a set of wheel to go out and test with. Marilyn had other things on her list for today.

The alarm had come on in the Dodge saying the exhaust filter was 80% full and needed servicing. After checking the manual it said too much low speed driving will plug it and we needed to run at highway speed for 45 minutes. How convenient...Pierre is just about 45 minutes away so Marilyn volunteered to take the Dodge for it's run.

Al never did get out to do a test because it started to sprinkle and Marilyn ran into rain just as she got to Pierre. After an hour in the mall, she came out to the sun, but it still looked dark to the north...there was no rush to get back to Gettysburg.

At least after this shopping trip you could see out the back window of the pickup...
