June 27, 2010


View of the day-Everything is loaded and ready for the next move from Timken, KS.

We got to sleep in today, a nice change from the rest of the week. We didn’t get any rain last night and the front that came through brought us relief from the hot temperatures from yesterday. We went for Sunday brunch then did a bit of shopping for parts, then Al went back to the camper and Marilyn did some Dollar Store shopping.

We went to Albert to pick up the General and after fueling it up, went out to the bins to start the loading process. We got the cart loaded in no time at all and had it hooked up and chained down ready to go. Kevin came out to drop off some papers and we had a chat with him before he left to go watch his kids play ball. They played in a tournament yesterday in Ness City…it was 107ºF there!

We started loading the combine and we still can’t quite get the hang of lining it up right the first time. Good thing we have a few more stops to practice on…we’ll get it yet…at least we aren’t in a hurry to get somewhere just yet. The farmers in Phillipsburg have found someone else since their crops were ready before we finished in Great Bend…that’s the way it goes. We finally got the combine loaded and hooked up to the General then got the shop trailer lined up so we can hook it up behind the camper when we take the last load.

We went back to Great Bend, got cleaned up, then went for our weekly laundry run…no internet there...but thank you McDonald's for having it while we had supper while waiting for the dryers. Marilyn has been uploading the blog courtesy of the NexTech store’s free WiFi and it is right next to the 24 hour Walmart Supercenter…and she hasn’t set foot in it.

That will change tonight…
