May 31, 2012


View of the day-It’s official…the shop trailer has retired. In more ways than one.

We got home after midnight and although Marilyn was able to get the blog done on her Blackberry Playbook, she couldn’t get the pictures transferred from her camera to upload, so the blog had to wait until this morning to get posted.  While we were sitting in front of the library, there were lots of harvesters heading through town.

We came back in the rain, and it rained most of the night, although it never amounted to much…maybe .8 to an inch. After resting up after yesterday’s marathon, we had more loading to do today, but first we had lunch with Ron and Leota at the sale barn, then they came back to the camper to settle up.

We went out to John’s farm to get the Freightliner hooked up to the trailer.  Al had to use John’s tractor with the front end loader to pick the trailer tongue up high enough so he could hook it to the truck.  Once it was flanged in we went back into town to get the tractor and cart loaded.  It only took a short time to get it loaded and chained down, then Al parked it out on the street, ready for AIS 8am tomorrow.

Next on our to-do list was a trip to Burlington to get a few tools from the shop trailer to tide us over until we can find a replacement plan and get it emptied out.  We might try to get it patched up enough to get it home and use it for storage…or something.  We got there, loaded up what we thought we would need…the bottle jack, for sure…then we went back to the camper to clean up.

We went out for supper to the Smok Shak with John and Peggy, then they stopped in to check out the camper after we got back to town.

An early night in and an early blog upload…missing yesterday gives two for today…
