[AT] Portland Swap Meet

[Robinson]

	I'm still planning like I'm going to get there but I'm a 
little less sure tonight... If I still make it (I hope) I 
will probably use a slightly smaller trailer than my tandem. 
I'm just not going to have the time to get it ready. Still I 
can put a lot in the van and in a single axle trailer. It 
may just be Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I had hoped to get 
there Thursday but things just are not falling in line yet. 
When we sold stuff there 2 years ago we got there on Friday 
and it seemed like quite a few spaces opened up that had 
been occupied earlier in the week. We went to the auction 
and brought home almost as much as we took.
	I don't know where all of these dang 12 and 14 hour long 
hard days are coming from... Hell, I'm supposed to be 
retired...   :-)   We are getting a lot done but my tail is 
dragging big time. The 2 new horse stalls in the west barn 
are coming into the home stretch (pun intended) and the main 
turn out lot is fenced except for a short bit next to the 
barn where we may board fence. Got one drive gate to hang 
and a walk gate to build and hang.
	The fellow that does my fertilizer and chemical work was 
going to spread fertilizer on the corn ground Saturday 
evening but the starter in the spreader truck died. He got 
it fixed this morning and spread it about noon. I still need 
to hit it with the 24' field cultivator before I plant it. 
Hooked the planter on the Super MTA this morning and got it 
pretty much ready. I had forgotten that we broke a marker 
when we finished last year and I had to take it off and weld 
it. I sat an auger up tonight to start pulling corn out of 
my bigger bin in the morning. It is trying to crust a bit on 
top so I have to move it at once.
