It seemed like I hit the ground running on my day off. The first day off in almost two weeks.



I could have used more than a single day off. I did office work, went to Roscoe, to Colorado City to Wastella to Roscoe to Merkel to Hawley to Abilene.



My day ended where it began. In the home office. Near midnight I completed some bid proposals and sent them to my partner for proofing. This morning we made some grammatical and spelling changes and this afternoon Trc handed it off to Fed Ex. We are hopeful these bids are successful.



Today I was running a little late getting to Roscoe. My main project for the day was getting a sand fighter from behind the barn to the farm across U.S. Hwy 84 to the farm we have called Wastella. Problem was, almost any route was blocked with wheat in the fields, still waiting to be harvested.



Pepa wanted me to take it apart, load it on a truck haul it to the field it was needed in and then reassemble it. So that would require, one truck and trailer, one forklift, and my pickup and service trailer. Not a problem if i were working with a team, but I was working alone.



I hooked a tractor to the sand fighter and drove across the fields, across the highway and to the farm destination. Once I arrived there I streaked the farm to hopefully keep the sand from blowing. It was really too wet in the terrace channels, but an ounce of prevention ... . . . . . . . . ... When it is more dry I will fill in the skips.



So tomorrow I will set my alarm again for farm time. Dang it. If things go according to plan Jason will spray the Gray place tonight and we will resume planting tomorrow.



Krl had hired a new truck driver last week. Both she and Trc were very impressed. Processed the man, drug screened him, got him accepted by insurance and when they called him to work he was no where to be found. Five days later, he calls from Mexico. Family emergency. Two weeks more.



If you haven't heard it you need to do a search for "I pray for You" by Jarud on the road to love. I think it is a spoof, but you will laugh until you cry.



Also, while I am critiquing songs, my favorite right now is "Lover, Lover". Really neat rhythm and very good harmonies.



Rian and his family are at camp in Sacramento, New Mexico.

I need some time off! This weekend is the Stevens Freeman Reunion and there is a one day pull at Gustine. So that means I will at least be driving to and from Roscoe/Sweetwater on the weekend. I haven't been asked, but I usually run off the auction at the reunion. I am hoping we get through planting Thursday, and if Jason's boys get started on the rotary hoes, we could be in good shape by the weekend. I need to go back to the NAPA store to rest up!

Well, I need a shower and a bed. See ya next time.

Have a day!

FATHER, Bless us and expand our boundaries. To YOU be the glory!
