From the pictures yesterday. The bins are the grain elevator in Geneseo. The elevator is on the north side of Highway 11 as it goes through Geneseo on the north side of town. The second picture is the location of the grain elevator when I was still home. We would come into Geneseo from the south and turn right towards the elevator. I THINK it burned down a long time ago but am not sure. I know the elevator in Lidgerwood burned in the mid 70s. The grain elevator in Cayuga was torn down not long ago but had not been in use for a long time. I remember the guy who managed the Geneseo elevator but I can not remember his name. He could communicate fine but he was a stutter. It was always fun when I was able to ride with Dad to take a load of grain in. The truck would go in and then it would be raised up to empty the box. The scale would weigh the loaded truck and the empty truck and that would give us the amount of grain we had.
Here are the pictures for today. They are NOT connected in any way.
Another cool day and I maybe should just stop saying that because it looks like COOL is the in thing for a long time. I looked at the weather forecast for St. Paul for the month of September and they show NO days in the 80s! Of course that is a long way in advance and I have no idea how accurate that is.
My cold is a bit better and I think my back is better too. As I sit here and type I have ice on it. At this point in the day I have run an errand, put fertilizer on the lawn and did a little painting inside so I would say my day is off to a fairly good start.
Enough for now as I finished my FP some time ago so time to get some more work done.
