On The Road

That is what I have been doing for the last few weekends. Today we finished putting up the wire and got all the gates hung. Then we put up a pen and went to town to pick up the water parts and when they turn the water on we should be ready to go. The ditch rider has a backhoe and came by this morning and dug down to water line. Took a spill(fall) trying to get a 4" plastic pipe out of the hole. Like to have killed me and the wrist I fell on. The rest of the news I'm sure Sue has toold you( about the Mule).Couldn't get it started tonight,acts like it is stuck in gear. Brian has already put 22 miles on it.

Everything always happens at once. Besides the Mule not working the dryer quit on us tonight. Broken belt or something, tubs not turning. I have to get up at 5 and go down to Denver to deliver Russ's load. Then head out to Guymon and Anaheim, CA. Mom is coming down in the morning to watch kids till Sue gets home. Don't know when I'm suppose to fix anything.

I like having Brian here. He wants so much to help and even tho it takes more time I like showing him how to do things. Tonight while working on the water line he ask me how long I had been plumbing! I told him 25 years or so. We just looked at each other and laughed!!! Around here when we ask him to do something he just pitches in. We had to stand on the end of the roll of wire so it wouldn't wind back up and somebody came by and we got side tracked and when we got back to it he had sat down on the roll of wire and was waiting. I told him next time holler!

Need to get going here or I'll be dead tire in the morning . Kids are sliding down stair and I don't want them to wake Sue. Later...
