We made it!
It was a LONG day for the Z Crew! We were packed up, hooked up and headed down Main Street of Shattuck before 9:00 a.m.
Jim wanted to beat the heat of the day…and that we did. It was a beautiful morning; perfect for travel. I even had my side window closed until after we got through Dodge City.
Once we got through Dodge, I realized that one of the tires on the car trailer had decided to go flat on me. I didn’t hear the “pop” of the tire because my window was up. Since I was bringing up the rear of the caravan, I gave Jim a quick call on the two-way and before I knew it, he and the Nasty were there to my rescue. With the two of us working at the process of getting the bad one off and the new one on, it wasn’t long and we were back on the road.
Once the “cottage on wheels” was set up again with sewer, water, and electricity, we headed to Garden City for a quick sandwich and a tank full of fuel. We were back in the field before 4:00.
Conrad and Spencer spent the entire afternoon with us in the field. It was good to have them with us. It’s always fun sharing what you do with someone else. If they’re interested in what you do-it’s a bonus! Taylor and Callie prepared supper for us. Poor girls had one of those typical meals that just wouldn’t/couldn’t go as planned. However, it all worked out and we got to share our meal together off the endgate of the pickup. Tell you what…that’s the best!!!
For now, I’m sitting at the elevator waiting for them to open for the day…battling the man eating flies. But hey, its cool so it’s all good! Speaking of cool, we got to SHUT OFF the air conditioners and open windows last night. Woke up to 64 degrees. 🙂
