View of the day-The rigs wait at the Kenmare Cenex for our return from Iowa.
We were up early and had breakfast at the cafe before Al took off to Jamestown with the General to fuel up and pick up some parts at the Case dealer. Marilyn went to get her hair cut then had to run into Jamestown as well to pick up some jackets and tshirts they had ordered...and that was the only stop.
Back at the farm, Al had moved the trailer out onto the hard surface in the yard so we could load the combine without the hydraulic lift sinking into the ground. It took no time at all to get the combine loaded, hooked up and strapped down before heading out for Kenmare. We left right at noon and with the wind behind us, made Kenmare just before 4pm and parked the header and combine in the parking lot at the Cenex before heading back to Pingree.
We stopped in Minot to pick up a few things and then forged on to Pingree, getting back by 9pm...a long day of driving. We stopped out at the field on the way home to pick Mike up from his ground work and give him a ride back to the farm. Back in the house we watched the final hours of the big election...interesting results, and it will be interesting to see how the country reacts to the new president...and that's as political as we want to get.
Al's brother Jeff is coming down tomorrow and the three of us are heading down to Dyersville, IA for the National Farm Toy Show...we're all looking forward to it...not the 650 mile drive though.
Let's hope we can get ahead of the winter storm that is coming...

You would drive 650 miles (that's miles, not km.) for a TOY SHOW??? You really have lost it.
This is the Grey cup of Toy shows...don't tell me you wouldn't drive to Montreal if you had the chance to see the stiffs...er...riders in the Grey Cup =D And, really, what's another 1300 miles when we have already covered 15,000 miles this season?
