Our plan has changed so many times.
I'll just give you the last two versions.
We have been in the middle of extreme weather. Sunday, with the windchill, it was -55 in North Dakota. That is too cold for Craig to work. He has had days where instead of driving, he has sat in the cab while it was running, just to keep the fuel from jelling and the oil from freezing. There is no money in babysitting the truck. If he is going to spend days away, I would rather he was working and getting paid.
One truck is down and with the holidays over, three drivers were ready to start working. Craig, as the newest guy decided to go on to Wisconsin and check out the farm. (We are planning on moving out after the school year and becoming farmers with my sister and her husband.)
He was going to spend two weeks on the farm and then go back to ND and drive the second half of the month.
Before he left, he got a call from his good friend and mentor, Tripp. He was offered a consulting job in Goodland, Kansas. So he packed up all his gear and headed to the farm foe an abbreviated stay. I mailed him a package with pants, shirts, ties, and a sports coat. Actually, I sent it to the hotel where he will be staying. He needs or be presentable in the office.
In the mean time he is playing with dogs, cows and horses. He sent me some pictures.
A few fun facts:
Did you know the Bismark temple is only open the second half do the week. Craig was hoping to attend Tues morning. Instead he took a picture and kept driving on to Minneapolis.
In Minnneapolis he was able to attend the temple Tues night and again Wed morning.
He then met up with Tim and they arrived at the farm last night.
This morning he stated with a few chores. He sent me some pictures.
Dixie the dog in the barn with the cows.
Milking time.
Craig called this one "morning prayers".
The horses' rumps are almost taller than the men.
This will be an adventure. Time to fasten the seatbelts.
