Boy are Sue & I tired tonight! At 8:00 am we went over to Campion and borrowed their tractor and disk to disk up Amy's arena for the horses. It took about 2 hours of work, but when I finished, the arena looked pretty good. We moved disabled vehicles around and cleaned up around the area a lot, then went to lunch - Amy's treat.
She was going to quit for the day, but we talked her into coming and assembling the arena, again. We had panels spread all over the place that we had used for small pens for the horses to eat the grass down. We had to disassemble them and put them on Greg's pickup, then haul them over to the arena and put them together again. Every other panel we drove a fence post in, to chain them to, to help hold them up.
We didn't get it all done tonight, but we didn't leave a lot. Then Calvin came by and we all came to the house and jumped in the pool to cool down, then had supper here. It was a long day and we're exhausted.
Later . . .

Wooooo weeeee, looks like a lot of work! :) Hey, in the pic "Picked up a lot of rocks and weeds" is that the building in the background I think it is?
If it is - I SPENT many a hour in that place (RMC Transportation 'Shed') as dad and Russ did stuff to trucks and movin' SAWS boxes from trailer to trailer there and stuff. (It also gives me a pretty good idea of where all this stuff is.)
Way Cool.

You're absolutely correct, Steve. The same quonset shed. The 3-sided shed, with the hay, wasn't there then, as Amy & Calvin built it. There are still a couple of semi-trailers over there (you can see one in the picture), probably the same ones as you worked with and an old, old truck.
In 1988 Herb & I were going to put our house (same double-wide we are still in) over there. Well, behind me as I took that picture. Herb even dug for a water line and everything, then we couldn't do it due to logistics. Herb could tell you - something about not being able to sub-divide the land, or something. You would have thought they'd known that before we got started.
Anyway, instead, we put it in Ross Estates. And here we still are!

Nice hat dad! I actually mean it, it looks natural on you. Have you slimmed down?
