Finished driving to CT today, and made it for the rehearsal.

Drove to CT, Tiffany's rehearsal
Driving to PA
Day of driving. Left at around 4:00 am, and arrived in Bainbridge, PA at around 6-7:00?
Around S. Illinois
I went to spend some time with Jamie, Chris, Sarah, Josh, Teresa, Paige, Sally, Ian, Bob, Valerie, Doug and Audre. But I didn’t get pictures of them all… probably because not everyone had a cow. I’m not sure why.
Sweet corn
Worked on the dyno today (re-packaging things to help get it out of the wind.) The idea was that I’d get better mileage on the way home. I don’t think it did much to help, though it might have.
After, I took some shots / videos of Dwight planting sweet corn with his 4020.
Monroe, WI to Browns, IL
Left Mike’s at around 6:30, heading to Monroe, WI to pick up a dyno for Dr. Dyno. All in all, things went well. I had to take the front of the trailer that the dyno was on to a local welding shop (Davis Welding—the “only” pigeon racing trailer manufacturing company in the USA—they were very busy but dropped things to help me out for which I was very thankful!) to have the tongue lowered for towing behind my car (you’ll see pictures tomorrow). They dyno towed well, though I did feel it for sure (it was about 1,600 pounds.) Made it to Grandma’s with no problems.
Fargo, ND - to Madison, WI
Drove down to Madison to spend the night at Mike’s. Great day to drive, and it was only about 8-9 hours today, which was refreshing.
