Adventure day



Hubby rolls into the middle of my bookkeeping moment (that had dragged on far too long) and wants to know if I’d like to go on an adventure with him. Hmm… bookwork or adventure of unknown qualities? Yup, definitely the door with adventure behind it. Bonus, the pup gets to come along with us. 

So, what’s the adventure? You guessed it, a trip to the wonderful, balmy and lush Miami! No, no, NOT the beachy Miami of Florida in the good ol’ US but Miami in Canuckland. Huh.

But first a trip to the city for a sweet, nice chiropractor adjustment… for both of us. Then onward and bumping across the lovely, somewhat sketchily maintained roads. Besides the road conditions it wasn’t a bad way to spend the morning together. Numerous errands and a stop at the atv doctor (bonus new tires) and the morning was about gone.

A quick stop at the home base, aka the farm, for a nice bowl of chili and then we were off. To where, well that part was a little unclear. I had my two travel mugs of coffee with a shot of the cinnamon dulce coffee syrup from one of my fav little coffee joints. Scoots was busy mumbling and whining about being stuck in the back seat (versus the front seat, where I sat). Hubs was happily cruising down the road. And I was enjoying the sun and the scenic hills.

So it turns out that we were going to pick up an auger. I use the words ‘pick up’ loosely, very loosely. Seeing as how it was an eighty-two foot long auger and wide as the entire road.

Scoots went shopping
It was a nice drive and I got to tease the hubby by pointing out the some of the bigger field rocks that we could ‘stop real quick and pick up.’ Those rocks were more of the four-man-pick-up-and-a-loader-to-assist bigger field rocks. 

Somehow we made it around the numerous corners and ducked under low wires, driving granny style in hopes of not bouncing the auger to the heavens. Back up, park and ready to clean. The previous owner apparently decided to not clean out the now nasty, stinking grain once he decided to sell it. I did the wave, blow a kiss, love ya hun, and sprinted into the house. I've ventured into the muck and been covered in the smell of well-aged and wet grain. Yeah... you know what I'm talking about. Ahh, bookwork… who knew it could be such fun, eh?
