July 26, 2009


View of the day-The water is kind of deep in Lake Oahe along the Missouri River 20 miles west of Gettysburg.

Another 'super-do-nothing' day. Our Kansas harvester neighbor dropped in for a visit and we got caught up on his summer's doings so far. He has been coming to Gettysburg for 60 years and has seen it all...the changes in equipment, crop choices, harvesters...that's a long time.

We debated on going to Carlyle to get our pick-up head, just in case we need it but after talking to the farmer, it doesn't seem likely. We may make a mad dash up there anyway...we never know what might come up.

We decided to take a drive out to the river to see what was happening out there...spied some harvesters in the campground on the way out. We crossed over to the other side and checked out the shore line...the water is a bit deep judging by the trees that are out in it. After stopping at the convenience store...convenient, yes...expensive, you bet...we went back to the camper. There were lots of trucks hauling grain across the river but we didn't see any combines going where we drove.

We got our Ice Road Truckers fix in for the week and did pretty much nothing else for the evening. Al called home to get the lastest news and Marilyn got a call filling her in on the Shakespeare in the Park that the theatre group she belongs to had performed on Saturday.

Rain is forecast, but it could stay south...
