Day three at the new jobsite.

I have a personal goal today of not going anywhere! I will modify that to say I mean anywhere other than close by to get ice for coolers! For the last two days I have gone to Corpus Christ. One day twice.

Last evening by eight o'clock I was in m y trailer, freshly bathed, with supper on the stove. I cooked chili dogs. One of my favorites, but one that I can seldom talk Krl into. By nine, I was laying on the couch reading a book (I need batteries for remotes so I can program some television channels), when I nodded off. Following the cue, I put my book up and turned out the light.

An hour later I was awakened by knocking on my door. I opened the door to find one of my truck drivers. He tole me he had backed over a water pipe and water was spewing. I got some shoes on and called E to find out where the valve was. After wading into the water, my driver found the valve and shut the water off. I returned to my trailer, left my soaked shoes outside, and went inside. It took about two hours for the adrenalin to leave and let me settle down.

I don't know what time the next episode began, but it was pitch dark and involved a garbage truck and a dumpster a short distance from my travel trailer. I'm not sure but I think the driver dumped it twice then ran over it for good measure.

Needless to say, it was a fitful night.

Today I have worked on truck and driver settlements. I am testing how well I can e-mail them to both offices back home. If we can use this method, it should streamline the process.

I have been informed that tomorrow night we will begin going 'round the clock.

As of today, we have ginned 1391 bales. I figure we are seven and a half percent through. If weather holds and the producers get with it, we should be four weeks from completion, provided their estimates are accurate. Rain is predicted for this coming Thursday.

Ollie went to Abilene to take care of Krl. I think they got some things done that Krl had been avoiding doing.

I went and looked at some equipment yesterday. It wasn't something I am in the market for nor was it a real bargain. It turns out the want to be seller is someone who bid on this job, but wasn't awarded the bid. He had worked at the other plant for fourteen years. While he was nice enough to me he sure doesn't like the surviving business entity or any of it's managers.

In the it's a small world section the module hauling contractor here used to haul at the plant at Roscoe when I was working there. He has grown from one truck then to eight back to five now.

Reid is in Roscoe. Rian and Erica are at Lake PK on the Senior trip from their church. I guess Holt and Drew are in Lubbock. Don't get me wrong, these aren't the senior citizens from their church, they are the incoming class of seniors in their youth group.

Be blessed this weekend!

FATHER thank YOU for opportunities. Help us to make wise choices, to do good work. To YOU is the glory!
