Too Old for All-Nighters

 It was hard to get moving after being up most of the night.  Mark loaded the milk replacer into the back of the Prius so that was dropped off first at Hoerr vet clinic in Morton. My next trip was to Midwest Orthopedic. I tried to call but was put on hold so decided to just go as a walk in. That didn't work, if you have an appointment you must keep the appointment and can't get in any earlier. They recommended going to a prompt care that has x-ray or to the emergency room. I had already wasted 3 hours trying Midwest so decided to just grin and bear the pain for the next 19 days. I feel pretty useless but this too shall pass. Mark buried the colt and cleaned up the arena. Now that both of the gooseneck 4 horse trailers are sold and gone I decided to post the 2003 truck for sale on Facebook market place so took the golf cart up to the barn to take a few pictures.  The truck is now listed for $5500.00 and is a F-250 SuperDuty with 192198 miles on it. The pros are the 4 wheel drive, the air conditioner works great as does the heater. It has cruise control and can take 6 passengers. It has a gooseneck hitch along with a bumper pull hitch and hauls well. The ball joints have been replaced and it has good tires. The inside is decent, no ripped seats.  The cons are it is missing the tail gate, doesn't get good gas mileage and has some rust. Below are a few pictures. 



The drywallers left around 4:00 pm so Mark and I decided to go check out their job. They are close to finishing. Below is the girls bathroom. There will be two stalls, a shower and a vanity sink.
The boys bathroom has one stall, a urinal, a shower and sink.
The stairs are pictured below. Those will need a banister at some point.
I climbed all 20 of them to check out the progress on the flooring. 
They are more than half way done. As we were leaving Phil, Anna and the girls were arriving to work on the flooring. They had a couple hours and decided to spend them here working. 
Rosalie is still calling for her baby this evening but did follow Lily and her filly across the dam to the pond pasture. I really need to head to bed. I'm too old to be doing those all nighters in the barn anymore and didn't even get a nap today.
