The weather has improved and the guys are back to work. The early mornings are still cold (upper 20’s) and they check the trucks for frozen beets. If they are frozen, they’re rejected and get dumped back in the field.

Sugar beet harvest can be dangerous
We heard on the news yesterday about two sugar beet trucks that hit each other. One of the drivers was air-lifted to a hospital, the other one went by ambulance. This is a picture from the internet, click here Felton, MN accident for the article.

Our first hockey game
While waiting for the weather to clear up here in North Dakota, we were given tickets for a UND hockey game in Grand Forks.
You can click on any of the pictures to enlarge them.
This picture is from the North Dakota Fighting Hawks web site.
From the Ralph Engelstad Arena website: It’s impossible to describe the $104+ million facility in just a few words, but it is described by many as the “finest facility of its kind in the world.” The 400,000 square foot arena is nothing but first class. All concourse floors are granite, each seat is constructed of leather and cherry wood, and there are 48 full luxury suites, two mini suites, and two enormous club rooms featuring the longest freestanding bars in the state. The training facility features a 10,000 sq. ft. weight room and underwater treadmill, fourteen locker rooms, the extra Olympic Sheet of Ice, and with the addition of the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center for the basketball and volleyball programs, what you have is more than a world-class facility; you have the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
We’d never been to a hockey game before, so have nothing to compare as far as their arena, but it is a beautiful place.

Ugh, SNOW!!
We are sitting here in the Grand Forks, ND area waiting for sugar beet harvest to get going. Curt has worked two afternoons and had to quit because of rain. It snowed about an inch one night. Now we're in a Winter Storm Warning with prediction of 3-6 inches of snow. We should be so far south right now. :(
