July 11, 2011

View of the day-A shot before the storm hit last night in Nebraska...all colors present and accounted for.

We definitely slept in considering it was almost 3am by the time we finally settled down after the marathon drive. By the time we got back it looked like we hadn't had any rain here in LaCrosse...but it could have dried up long before.

We went out to the combine trailer to meet with the welder man just after lunch...he had to weld on the safety chain that we had bought to replace the one that had disappeared...broken or some such. Once he was finished, we continued on to Hayes to do a bit of looking around and to see if we could find a 50amp adapter for some of the various places we end up camping...the A/C is necessary in this heat.

We checked out a few of the ag dealers for toys, but came up empty handed. Marilyn went back to purchase a dress...that's right...a dress...that she had seen on her last trip into Hayes. We have a nephew that is tying the knot in August and she "didn't have a thing to wear". We stopped at an electrical wholesaler who sent us down to Herrman the German, the RV repair joint to find an adapter...success! He had just the thing we were looking for...although Al doesn't quite agree, he's not sure that it will work as promised...we'll see.

Back at the camper, Marilyn dismantled the keyless door lock that had quit working after the driving rain...and got it fixed, so we don't have to lock it the 'hard' way with the key. And that was it for the day...a 104ยบ day, with no end to the heat in site.

By the way, we did get the wobble box completely covered under warranty! Thank you Paul and Erken(sp?) at MacDon.

Now we try to decide what time we will leave for good, tomorrow...
