Quick Trip to Minneapolis

My brother, Glenn, sells wreckers for Coker Equipment Sales in Dallas. He and another guy drove here on Mon. in the white pickup and spent the night at our house. Yesterday, Diane took a vacation day and she, Camry & I rode with them to north of Minneapolis to drop the other guy off (about a 4 1/2 hour drive). He would be driving a truck back to Dallas. He is a "driver for hire". Then we headed back down to Spencer, IA for Glenn to pick up a truck. Then back home and out to eat in Pocahontas with friends who Glenn likes to see whenever he's back. Long day of driving/riding with some nasty weather but nice to get to go with him.

He left this morning in this truck above pulling the pickup back to Dallas. We were having ice this morning so it was a slick 50 miles or so for him until he drove out of it. He saw two vehicles in the ditch not too far south of our house including this little black pickup truck that was upside down.

There was a Wed. program at the library this morning, and we had to laugh because 29 retired people still showed up for it in the bad weather! I opted to not get out in it.

Just goes to show that we 'old retired' people aren't wimps! Kept looking for you, since you said you were coming.
The weather wasn't THAT bad!
