View of the day-The radio is finally in the tractor, under the watchful eye of the inspector.
What a night of weather. It rained and blew most of the night...no tornadoes, but lots of rain. We got to sleep in again...not a lot on the agenda for the day, but Marilyn actually used the stove in the camper today...sausages and Belgian waffles. The only problem with cooking is the dishes you have to do after...we do miss the dishwasher...
After fueling the furnace, we went over to finish up the work on the tractor. We had to ream out the old antenna hole to fit the new one in...Al made short work of that. After getting all the wires hooked up and everything tucked back into it's place, we tested it out...lo and behold, it worked. We have purchased several radios for the tractor throughout the years and they all quit on us, probably due to the backup of water from the A/C collecting in the headliner and splashing onto the electronics. We won't have to worry about that this time...the radio and speakers are weatherproof...and the A/C doesn't work. That's next on the list when we get to Gettysburg.
After cleaning out the tractor cab, we cleaned up ourselves, loaded up the laundry and headed for Winner. The crops along the way are really starting to look like they could be harvested sometime this month if we could just get some hot dry weather...well, dry at least. We actually saw some harvesters in town...most of their stuff is still on trailers, but they are there, at least.
Once we got the laundry done we took a swing by Pamida...Winner's Walmart...Marilyn came out empty handed...this time. We went to Pizza Hut for supper before we went home...Marilyn is hooked on the Chicken Milano...and Al doesn't mind the pizza at all.
We got back to the camper and after getting Al set up with the Al Star baseball game on the internet, Marilyn got the laundry put away, then got to chat online with one of her cohorts from the theatre back home to find out how their Shakespeare in the Park was coming along. We haven't gotten a chance to see any live theatre along the run yet.
It's still early...
