Stephan got up and is at a fire department meeting. Apparently it will last through most of the day, and include training sessions, and vehicle maintance.
Which left me to take out the trash.
About "the trash": Saturday morning from 9-noon, and Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm, the dump is open. There is no home-pickup of garbage. No garbage trucks in Plevna, Montana. So, during the week, we put our garbage in the garage. On Saturdays, or Wednesdays, depending on our schedule, we put the garbage bags IN THE CAR and drive about 1/2 a mile to the dump. The garbage goes IN THE CAR. We don't have a truck with an open truck bed. We have a Ford Escape. All the windows rolled down, the air blowing at maximum, sometimes the rear trunk window open, we drive to the dump.
You get there, back up to a big truck-trailer sized open bin, and throw them in. Now, anything can go into this dumpster, large sticks of wood, metal, furniture, walls of chicken coops, animal skins....
And today was my turn.

Wednesday night is a great night for a dump run. I've been to the Plevna bar on dump night and had a blast. I guess it's a tradition with the locals to get rid of their garbage and then go and have a few.
I also know that Clint Dietz can be long winded during a fire training session. That's why it lasts most of the day. Eleven days to go and we will be in Plevna. Hope to meet you folks.
