March 1, 2011


View of the day-Most of the fleet is looking for warmer weather and now that March has come in like a lion, there is no where to go but up.


We have been trying to get time to update the blog and the longer we wait, the more there is to tell and it just snowballs, so we will just sneak up on it an soon enough we will be caught up.

We are on our way to Grand Island, Nebraska to take in the US Custom Harvesters Annual Convention, so there should be lots to see and stories to tell. After working all day yesterday at our respective jobs, we drove to Carlyle and spent the night there, then got an early start for our next destination of Jamestown, ND.

We had to stop in Kenmare to load the JAKz cargo trailer with toys...and tires...that had been delivered to our 'drop off' point at the John Deere dealership. We dropped the trailer at Carpio to leave it until our return trip...no sense in hauling it all those extra miles...then stopped in Minot for lunch. Marilyn had to do some shoe shopping...Al likes to call her 'Imelda', so if the shoe fits...better buy them.

We continued on, hoping for warmer weather...something warmer than -30ÂșC, or if it has to be that cold, eliminating the wind would make it tolerable. No luck...just as cold and windy down here and it doesn't look like there will be any relief for a while.

Shut up and drive...
