View of the day-Al dumping into the pit at Colby, Kansas…the last load for Kansas.
We got to sleep in…past 9am…even though it didn’t rain here last night. We decided we would go out for breakfast…it had been a while since we had ‘real’ eggs for breakfast. The little coffee shop was packed, so we went to the bowling alley again..didn’t get eggs.
Al dumped the Freight at the elevator across the road then we went out to the field to get everything moved back to the yard. It was only a mile, so the moves didn’t take long and once we had the cart emptied into the General, we took it into Colby.
Marilyn went along for the ride to see what Al had been going through the past couple of days. The seven miles of road to the highway was really hilly and narrow, and the 17 miles of highway had it’s ups and downs as well. There were a lot of combines running in the fields and the trucks were everywhere…as would be expected.
After we got the General unloaded in Colby we went back to the farm, parked the truck, then went back into Colby with the pickup to get some parts at the CaseIH dealer and Orchelins before grabbing supper at the China Buffet. We drove around town checking out all the harvesters parked around town…one gent that we had seen at lunch in Atwood said he heard there were 80 harvest crews parked in Colby. That would certainly give Gettysburg, SD a run for it’s money as harvest central.
We picked up a few groceries at Dillons, then came back home to the campground in Atwood. The fireworks stands have been doing a booming business getting ready for tomorrows ‘really big show’. We are debating whether or not to purchase anything…probably not this year…but you never know, we still might get the bug.
Tomorrow we will be visiting some harvester friends from Canada that are in Colby and find out how their run has been so far.
Marilyn might get a Walmart fix in…
