Reader Tips

Just checking in from the farm in S.E. Saskatchewan this evening to make sure you kids are behaving in here. Judging by their first day’s postings, SDA is in capable hands.
I’m not sure that we brought the right vehicle. With the amount of rain that’s fallen and I’m told – more awaiting us in Minneapolis this weekend, we might have been better off with a pontoon boat. The dog show is outdoors.

A reminder, after perusing the comments – keep it civil and remember that there are people who read SDA from work, so keep profanity under control, please. If you can’t follow those simple rules – well the blogosphere is a big place. Find one that has rules you like.
You can use this post for your own tips, as indicated in the subject line. Quoting should be brief.
