Shannon,
I think you're right. Fortunately, they were headed away to the east.
Jeff

Kelly,
Thanks so much for all the information. I shouldn't have asked you so many questions, but I was curious. Sounds like a lot of work, but you had a good procedure figured out.
Jeff

Nancy,
I'm behind myself on postings.
Nice to hear you're out on an adventure of your own. You stay safe also.
Jeff

Kathleen,
Thanks!
Jeff

Kathleen,
I zoomed in with the camera. But you may be right. I don't know how far away a rattlesnake can be and still get you.
Jeff

Scott,
Thanks. At least I can see what's ahead for me.
Jeff

Scott,
I love hearing meadowlarks. This may be due to the fact I hear them in grassland areas, which is one of my favorite places to be.
Jeff

Good tire choice

Looks hazy smoky, which we have had in WI from Canadian fires

Mammatus clouds, I think

Jeff,

With these old fashioned letters, we climbed on a ladder to change the marquee. Wind did blow them down sometimes.

To figure out which letters were needed each week, I would write the current title on a piece of paper. Then write the new movie title below that. I would cross out all of the letters that were duplicated, and then get any remaining letters for the new title to install. It was a sad day if I missed any letters, as that meant I had to climb down that ladder, and go up to the second story storage room to get the missing letter.

For the more modern marquee, that uses the flat plexiglass letters, those are installed from the ground with a suction cup divide. They are much easier/quicker. You don't see the old, red, letters too often any more.

I have fallen behind in your tour Jeff but will pick up here when I can. I am on an RV camping trip with some biking involved but with little to no wifi availability.
Keep on keepin’ on and I will get back to your journey soon. Stay safe.

I sort of like quart vinegar bottles more recently because they fit bottle cages and some snap caps from pint water bottles fit them and are handy to use.

Now that I look at your reply, the Beatles are playing in my head again...

"He likes to keep his fire engine clean..."

Sigh! The good ol' days.

Good you didn't beat it to death. Most folks would have. They are good rodent control.
