Unexpected
I had a few surprises this week. After chilly and cloudy weather for several months, Thursday we had sunshine and 91 degrees. Then, Friday afternoon it began to snow. The snow was a welcome sight, as it provided more opportunities for me to utilize my hooded sweatshirt collection. I really wasn’t ready for summer, it would be nice if we had a little bit of spring first.
Saturday morning, looking across the street at the practice field.
A friend of mine who lives in Wisconsin called mid-week and said he was coming to South Dakota on business. A Fairbanks-Morse rep, he is also talented at remodeling and carpentry tasks. Sunday we toured hardware stores looking at tools and other home improvement supplies; he is pictured below in a shower stall at Menards.
The only photos I have of John are him in some sort of enclosure.

In a cooler at Smitty’s in Superior, Wisconsin. He’s now engaged to the attractive lady shown here, congrats John and Kate!
In the engine room of the Speer, where I met John. Like the cooler, this was a cold environment with no natural light.
Next to a generator, which was a little bit warmer.
The forecast is for cloudy and cold weather, which will give me a chance to slowly wean myself away from sweatshirts and space heaters. I’m thinking we might have spring sometime in May. It’s back-ordered, but I’m confident that it’s on the way.
