As there is no walk on Saturdays I slept in not getting out of bed until 6:30 am. Mark wanted breakfast since he wanted to get going on unloading the aluminum trailer before the real heat of the day started. After breakfast we drove over to the field, hooked the truck up to the trailer. Mark and Mackenson started on emptying that while I worked on the apartment stove. The scratcher was tried first but soon I switched to a knife finishing in about a half an hour.
The guests staying there left early so the laundry was started before I went down to help with the unloading. They still had about a half of a trailer left to unload so the 3 of us finished that before 9:00 am.
We still have a ways to go before the wood shed is filled to capacity but we sure have a good start.
As soon as the trailer was emptied we took the trailer to the field to pick up that last hay bale.
I drove the skid steer while Mark took the truck. The bale was soon loaded.
Mark took it home the road way while I took the skid steer through the fields and beat him to the shelter. We put this bale in the last paddock shelter. As we were moving that Tri County Rv called to tell us that the trailer could be picked up this morning. As soon as Mark took the aluminum trailer off we left for Tri county. The bill was $10.91 and that was for the black tank treatment he recommended. The fridge repair was exactly 0. No charge, there was nothing wrong with it other than Joan's electrical service. We need to get that bumped up to a 30 amp outside. The owner of the company took us into the back to show us why we need a 30 amp service and I was impressed with the race car sitting in the garage.
It is a pretty amazing car but actually very old.
The truck and trailer were parked at the new barn as all of Joan's kids and grandkids were at her house giving her a work day and her parking lot was full.
Mark walked back but I had a few things to do in the barn. There were dark rain clouds heading our way during his walk.
By the time I got home the rain started and by the time it stopped we had an inch and a half.
It came so fast that our drive washed out again. Good thing Mark has the road grader still hooked up to the tractor. The fields got a great drink. Not too long after that the guests in the 5th wheel called to report the fridge wasn't working. I couldn't find the problem but the renters were still happy with where they were and didn't want to move so I took them a cooler with ice. Aunt Jinnie needed to be taken to the airport at 1:15 pm. Diane called to say they would take her instead of me so I took the golf cart over to say goodbye. Diane had her new car there. We all went out to see it. Ruth was showing mom the car, mom said, "it doesn't look that special" We all burst out laughing.
We got on the golf cart and went over to see Mike and Diane's cabin where they are installing a new way to get up to the loft. Diane is holding one of the railings in the picture below.
This evening I started on tomorrow's meal with browning 8 pounds of hamburger then simmering it in taco seasoning sauce.
The peppers were next, those were washed.
Then those were sliced and then put in the fridge for tomorrow.
That will give me a jump on tomorrow's meal.
