July 8, 2011

View of the day-A trip to the Barton County Fair and a viewing of the wash bay as the steers get a shampoo.

A road trip to Great Bend was the main thing on the agenda today...get a few parts, maybe do some shopping, check out the fair...that sort of thing. We got everything but the shopping done...Marilyn was just not in the mood...shocking, for sure.

We went out to settle up with Ken and Kevin, then Marilyn insisted on getting a picture of Kevin's son, Maitland's, entry into the barbed wire sculpture for their county fair...a tornado. Nobody better steal his idea just because she posted a picture...it was just to awesome not to share.

There is an auction sale in Leibenthal tomorrow that Al wants to check out, so we thought we would see if they would let us have a quick peek...no chance...everything was closed up tight. We took our purchases out to the shop trailer, then Al decided he should take the shop trailer tire, that had the leaky valve, off and get it fixed so we wouldn't have to deal with it on the road.

We got back to the camper and had supper, then Al buckled in for a couple of CFL football games and Marilyn took a walk out to the bunker to see how the covering had progressed. It was a perfect evening for a walk...light breezed, mild temperatures and most importantly...no bugs!

Al has the auction and a CFL Riders game...Marilyn will force herself to go to Hayes for some 'retail therapy'...
