Getting Trailer Ready

84º here in Clarinda, IA at 7:30 pm Monday as I start this.  Basically a nice sunny day.
Watched Dish Tech check out our system, which hadn't worked since Thursday evening, and replaced the black box itself.  Also added a sound bar with speakers behind our easy chairs --- which sure adds to what I can hear!














Mowed the lawn this afternoon.




Not sure what these are, but they are blooming behind my shop.
Spent most of afternoon hooking up trailer - Phyllis has been loading stuff in in it for several days - finished with the food tonight and other that a few things will be ready to pull out in the morning.  Plan on eating breakfast at the Junction in Bedford and head on to our campsite reserved at Prairie Flower Recreation Area on Saylorville Lake north of Des Moines.  To spend several days touring some museums and gardens and buildings in the Des Moines area.
