View of the day-All present and accounted for at Gettysburg, SD.We had to go in to Winner to pay a few bills and get settled up with Roger. We had a quick snack at McDonald's, then it was back to Hamill to load in the heat...again.
We had to do a bit of rearranging with the cart trailer...we didn't want a repeat of the moving in debacle, no sir. We hooked up to the Freightliner with a chain and moved it to flatter ground and once we had the ramps lined up, Al had the tractor and cart loaded, chained down and ready to go. Actually, he did the chaining while Marilyn went back to the camper to get it ready for the road.
We were leaving Hamill right on schedule...3pm...Al's schedule, at least. We stopped in Highmore to get the part that had been ordered, then forged on to Gettysburg...another uneventful trip...thank goodness.
Al parked his rig at the fuel station in Gettysburg, then we went to get the camper parked and the A/C's cooling things off, while we moved the Freight out to the farmers yard with the rest of our equipment. Once we got out there, we unloaded the combine and Marilyn worked on getting the cab camera mounted in a new place in the hopper...something a little more permanent, so she doesn't have to move it every night when she closed the hopper. Al uses the camera in the General when we move, so he can see behind the wide load from high up in the combine cab, so it means changing up the cables every time.
We got back to town and stopped at the elevator so Al could get the number of the fuel truck driver. This way he can have the truck go directly to the combine to fill it and save us a couple of trips with our 99 gallon slip tank. Then it was back to the camper to clean up and get the dish aimed.
A record for Gettysburg...dish aimed in 5 minutes...
