I think that we are starting to get the hang of things and maybe by next week we will be on our own. We have been making a run to the cannery at noon, 6 PM and midnight, give or take a half hour or so. We thought the cannery was going to be running 24 hrs a day, but they are shutting down between midnight and 6 AM at this point. We have been getting between 2 to 4 totes at a time this year where in the past there have been as many as 8. Maybe next week things will get moving a little faster.
I've been running the forklift a little bit more each day and am sort of getting used to it now. I posted a couple of videos that are less than a minute, but are very large if you decide to download it and see us in motion. They are located on the side bar on the left.
We already are seeing some of the trees starting to change colors. It's been almost 40 years since we have been in the Midwest during the Fall season, and you almost forget how beautiful it can be.
We not have 8 bags of seed waiting to be shipped and by Saturday PM should have close to another 6. The cannery shuts down at midnight on Friday and resumes again at 6 AM Monday morning. We should have the midnight pickup finished by early afternoon on Saturday, and will not pick up again till noon on Monday.
Harley Englel, one of my classmates in high school is riding the ferry over from Manitowoc, WI to Ludington MI Saturday evening, and we will pick him up about 7 PM. It is a 4 hour ride across Lake Michigan, and this time of the year, it only makes one trip a day. Since it leaves Ludington at 9 AM, we will have Harley back to the ferry on Monday morning. Harley and I were best friend in high school, and both went to the Wadena Area Technical Institute for a 2 year Electronics program. Since then, we have only seen each other half a dozen times, so I am looking foreword to this weekend
