July 9, 2009

Roaming BuffaloView of the day-Buffalo roaming at will near Bassett, Nebraska. They just crossed the road nice and orderly then watched the traffic go by.

What a stormy night we had...over an inch of rain but no tornadoes, thankfully.

We were up bright and early anticipating the drive back to Ansley for the last load. We had a short detour to Winner to grab a snack and pick up the modem for the internet from the phone company. We were going to be gone all day and didn't want to miss them...dial up is just to painful to endure.

We got to Ansley, fueled up, aired up, hooked up the header and started off for Hamill. It was cloudy and overcast most of the way, even misting at times which made for a comfortable drive...and no unnecessary stops this time. We were back in Hamill around 4pm with everything parked where it belonged or at least where it would sit for the next week.

Al noticed an air leak on the General and discovered the pressure valve was the problem, so we went back into Winner to get a replacement and do a bit of grocery shopping, since we wouldn't be making it to town as often as we did in Great Bend.

When we got back to the camper, Marilyn got the internet hooked up and did some cable rearranging for the TV and dish...most of it a waste of time...wrong cables, so we are back to square one with the monitor we are using for a TV. Al did a bit of surfing...a nice change from the front seat of the truck...and even though we have internet in the camper, the blog still doesn't get up until after midnight.

Tomorrow we fix...
