Ok, I have been taking a bit too much time away from keeping the daily dairy updated. I guess that is all that my blogging is but that is ok as I will have time to go back some day and figure out what went wrong or where I lost my mind…
Today started out ok. I got my 2+ mile walk in first thing and that was not too bad. Once I got breakfast done, I worked on scanning some more of the papers and pictures from Dad’s collection. The more I have scanned and filed away the longer they should last and might be useful when searching for history pieces and links for the family. While doing some of that I remembered I had taking pictures when I went to the big city of Drummond the other day. First I went by my Aunt and Uncles old farm, got some pictures of that and then up to the farm where I was raised…
I remember so much about growing up there. This used to all be wheat fields but my cousin, who owns it now, wanted grass for horses and cows so he planted half of it to grass. He also totally remodeled the house and put in a lot of corrals and stuff then left and has it rented out I think?
Next I was in the big town of Drummond. It is not a ghost town but damn near it…
In the old days (my old days) the corner building was the bank. It is now the town museum. The next to it was the Hardware store but that went out before I got out of school. Next was the local Grocery and a meat market then what had been a pharmacy and misc.store but that was gone before I can remember. I do remember being able to look in and see the old stuff way back. Further down was a restaurant, the local phone office a repairs shop and the local beer joint. Now there is little to see down there it is all closed except for one guy that took over several and has a cabinet shop. This picture was taken in the middle of the week at about 1pm so you can tell that nothing is really open for business anymore.
I picked up some papers there at the bank (that is not in the picture) and took them to the lawyer for processing.
I got back to Stillwater in time for lunch so you can tell I was not stopped at any one spot for much time… no need if you visit a town like this?
Once back I spotted this “REDNECK” truck… now I have seen exhaust conversion of all kinds but this …. was a waste of effort.
Sorry the picture so so horrible… took it in a hurry out the windshield of the Jeep and I probably should get a new one or at least clean it?
Since you can’t really see it he put a single large exhaust up behind the cab not in the center but of set but I bet it causes problems seeing out the rearview mirror… I have seen those with dual exhaust put up to mimic the big trucks but this was just stupid…
Then today coming home after my first attempt at getting a car title changed I spotted this idiot…
Note to the left of center an orange mustang was driving the wrong way on the inside shoulder of a very divided highway? Now how dumb is that? Beyond that he could of just pulled across the median or if they had been a little alert could of stopped and backed up when they woke up to the fact they were headed the wrong way on the wrong side? but no , the continued to drive on that side for the 300 yards or more from one crossing to the next?
I had several other small issues but they are all more family and personal so I won’t put them here but suffice to say, the afternoon was one idiot deal followed by another…
I sure hope tomorrow is better…
