Reunion!

       Three of us went to the threshing show today near Madison, S.D. called Prairie Village. There were hundreds of tractors on display. Out of all those tractors I spotted one that I sold a few years ago. It is 1955 Minneapolis Moline GB. It had different rear tires, not the mismatched ones that were on it when I owned it. It was sold on Sinai Firemen's consignment auction and the buyer told me it was going to Prairie Village. That was a happy reunion. 

       When I returned to Sinai after my discharge from the Marines I had a conversation with the late Albert Erstad, a local farmer. Albert was a veteran of WW I, and he had a lively sense of humor. He said "Military life is very easy so it's an adjustment to civilian life. So just sit in a rocking chair on the porch and after a week you can rock a little." 😁 That conversation came to mind with the comic strip below.

Takk for alt,

PS A reader asked what I do with the rocks. Some go in a rock pile, some on the road over the dam I drive across and some in the breach of another dam. A muskrat tunneled the dam and water running through it breached the dam. It's scheduled to be repaired soon.
