Day number one -tractor ride

Hello I just got home from bringing dad home from his first day of his WHO tractor ride, and he says he's ready to call it quits. But he promised me I would drive tomorrow, that's the only reason he doesn't quit. He says i was too hot. Then got into the fairgrounds in Marshalltown, and everybody is trying to hurry up to get tractors fueled up, because there is a storm coming. We ate dinner real quick (the Iowa Machine Shed catered, with pot roast, buns, corn, and mashed potatoes. I was good, only had a couple of bites of pot roast and some mashed potatoes. Then the announcer came on we better tie down our umbrellas (over the tractors) so we wouldn't loose them. The wind had really picked up. Then we headed for home, as sooon as we left the gates, it started pouring and here comes 1 lonely driver in. Must have had a problem. Well, tomorrow, I start off driving from Marshalltown to Grundy Center. I'm excited, and better go try to get some sleep. I know it's bad, but I will have to skip breakfast, otherwise I'll be in the bathroom for hours. (I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome) But I'll drink water. I'm going to do my best. If I'm awake tomorrow night, I'll let you know how my day went. Take Care everybody Lisa Young
