Noah who?

Still too wet to harvest beets, but things are looking positive for the weekend. I was planning on working in the office this week until things dried out, but a water main burst in the office on Monday and filled the building with about 3 to 4 inches of water. Now it is too wet to work outside, and too wet to work inside.
We took the kids to Maplewood State Park on Monday afternoon to see the leaves, and it was a great display.



Tuesday I recovered some of my personal items from the office so they didn't get damaged from the humidity, then spent the morning browsing Scheels and Gander Mountain.

I had a very short stint of work this morning giving a presentation to a GIS meeting in Bismarck. I left here about 5:30, drove to Bismarck, and was done by about 10:30. It's dry in Bismarck, which was nice. Since I had some time, I drove home by way of a promising hunting spot. I pulled the truck off to the side of the road and proceeded to shoot two pheasants, miss a few more, and generally have a grand old time. I walked back to the truck, started down the road and was home by 4:30. It's a rough life. I walked in the door and Alison greeted me just like I was coming home from work. I think I'll keep that little secret to myself.

I'm still shut down for both beets and office work tomorrow, so I'm going to make the best of things. I hope to get new tires for Jennifer's car early in the morning, then perhaps sneak out in search of pheasants again.
