Good morning!!!!

David, hope LS tractor continues to do well.
Speaking of mowing, I need to get busy.

Good morning, the low is 60 and going to a high of 64°F. Wind S 9 mph. Periods of rain. Raining now.

There is not enough room inside the shelter for two ladders, (we are both over 6' tall but not tall enough to unbolt the roof of the Kioti), so the light install goes on the 'back burner' for a few days.

David are you running your tractor at PTO Rpm?

I guess I will check on my stock and jump back down the youtube rabbit hole.

Have a safe day all

Yup, almost always.

Happy Birthday to you son, Ken

Thinking re my previous discussion re upbrings… I recall reading about how young Chinese children were removed from their homes, placed in camps for proper education. Appalling seemed a common response. Of course, we wouldn’t do that. We developed a better method. Put that young child in daycare or preschool as soon as possible. Give the working parents some sort of financial/tax benefit for doing so. Of course the parents get to influence and raise the kids the remaining few hours they aren’t sleeping. Oh wait, that has been taken over by the little screens.

made it to Keystone SD and what a morning.

first, both 29 coming North and 90 going west had regular signs that would light up near an exit saying rt 40 closed, get off here.
I figure that's for bad winter storms.
I drove and drove and drove without seeing much.

Well I did see plenty of cows. And I saw more hay than I ever have before.
Hay bales going to the horizon, this pic is for Hay Dude.

lots more pics, this will take a bit to post, at least internet is strong here.

second and third pic were scenic overlook on route 90 before crossing the Missouri River. Big river even this far up.
Wall Drug was a waste of time, walked out in five minutes. Didn't want their home made donuts; the whole area looks really fake.
Badlands were just below route 90 and didn't have time to take the long scenic route through it.

you are driving along in a perfectly flat area, seeming endless highway, and then out of the haze is this giant rock from one side to the other. A butte or something looked about 300 feet tall and top was very flat. Quite a geologically interesting area.

also got to see a lot of sorghum and wheat grown, plus all that hay, I guess raised for the cattle which were out roaming around these utterly enormous properties. The one surprise was seeing a field planted in sunflowers.

Wall Drug was a waste of time

It was a waste when I went through in 1977.
But the Badlands were worth the extra miles.

and lastly
nice little campground on side of a hill but the sites are nice and l was able to level. Funny doesn't look like it in pic because of hillside

one of the problems with long motorhomes in hilly areas is your hitch or some part of the rear bottoms out on dips. Look how close the rear hitch is on this $1-2M Prevost tucked over in the corner.

No more tree limbs above the roof or the water, yeah!

Still doing good at my main job of recovering.
