gonna dry a few crooked neck squash today at work. will put them away for the feast  in november. i noticed there were a few  ready to pick yesterday. also seen that someone picked a few that probably werent. kinda have to guess how much produce people take when i aint there. so far i have given away over 260 pounds of vegetables from one garden. the other garden at the senior citizens is just starting to produce. they have been getting fruit off the tomato and pepper plants they started.

the rain we had last friday was enough to save the plants at the senior garden. they were wilting big time. it may rain again today. that will also help.  that heat wave we had really zapped the plants. the cooler weather has also helped. instead of the heat indexes being in the hundreds it is now in the nineties. we complain of the heat today. i remember when we didnt have electricity. no a/c at all. not even fans. just had to live with the heat.

i am anxious for some road time. been so busy working in the garden. need a vacation. when i tell people i am heading to crow fair they tell me about it. it sounds like it will be fun. i imagine there will be some good drum groups there. they are having separate categories in the singing contest. northern and southern style. that makes sense to me. my opinion was you shouldnt compare the two. the top prize in both contests is 8 thou. that should bring  out some good groups. i will video tape some if i can. i just bought me a new camcorder. it is about the third of the size of my own sony. everything is done by touching the screen. i will burn a dvd with what i tape over the weekend. i studied up on it by reading the manual.

i dont know if my tent is any good. when i went to sisseton the wind whipped it back and forth. kinda sprung the frame. the next night it rained and it leaked some. i may set it up tonight and see if it is any good. if not i probably will have to buy a new one. i do enough camping that i need a tent. i like camping out. i do have to have my air mattress though. no sense in roughing it. gotta have some comfort.

i plan on leaving tomorrow at noon or so. i will go to work for half a day. gotta log some hours. but it will be a short week anyway so i aint gonna be there all day. i have to put on some road time. cant get there til you leave. i want to put some road behind me so i have time to soak in the hot springs. i miss the feeling of a relaxing soak in the hot water. they even have a steam room. hope the place aint full of turistos. i am anxious to hit the road…..
