June 21, 2012

View of the day-Marilyn getting the light changed on the tractor...one of several jobs that got accomplished today.


We had to get up early because the phone man was coming to hook us up with internet and he actually got here by 9am...that's service. Once he had us connected to the world, it was time for us to knock a few things of the to-do list.


We got the tractor and cart unloaded...the ground was really soft from all the rain, but we managed get the job done without wrecking anything.  We moved the tractor over to our "lot" by the camper so we could work on it close to the shop trailer.  We changed one of the field lights on the back of the tractor, then moved over to the revolving light on the General and got both bulbs working again on that unit.

Once we got a few other little things looked after, it was time for a road trip...after all, we can't go for one day without driving somewhere.  Chamberlain was the destination for the day...we had to go to the CaseIH dealer to get a few parts...and look at the toys hidden in the corner.  We also made a pit stop at the big antique dealer, where Al always manages to find something hiding in one of the corners...and he wasn't disappointed this time, either. 
We stopped to get groceries, then a quick snack at Arby's before heading back to Hamill.  


Back at the camper, Marilyn decided to do a bit of tweaking on the satellite dish...we weren't getting a good enough signal on the second satellite, so some channels were missing.  After moving it well past the trees, we were back in business.  It was a gorgeous evening out and we actually pulled the big pressure washer out of the shop trailer to give the pickup head a quick swish before the road trip tomorrow.


We are pulling it up to Bismarck, ND...2100 miles this week wasn't enough...
