As I was mapping out my activities for this year, I decided to skip both Amazon and the sugar beet harvest. Amazon was kind of a no-brainer since they’d made some changes that made it tougher for CamperForce folks to secure affordable camping.

The sugar beet harvest was a different story. I was already going to be in the right part of the country but I had to balance that with my memories of previous harvests, mainly unpredictable weather. I opted to continue working for DigiKey (good pay, inside, consistent hours) instead of the harvest. And as I sit here watching the weather (very warm for this time of year) I slyly pat myself on the back. While the sugar beet harvest workers are still waiting for the harvest to start, I’m still getting my regular hours.

The other advantage is I’ll be out of MN before the middle of the month, instead of committing for entire month with the harvest. And it couldn’t come too soon. The job itself is very frustrating.

Beyond that, the wind almost never stops up here and TV reception is terrible. We’re ready to head south.
