Nov 8th - Concrete and Ceilings

Before lunch Fred and I helped John, Caleb (John's son) and Mark (the part time hired man) get a section of the "barn" ready for a floor slab. They were supposed to pour the floor in the afternoon. I haven't been back over to see if they got it done.

I did a dumb thing and could have hurt myself this afternoon. When travelling around the camp Fred drives the four wheeler and pulls a trailer. I ride on a tool box on the front of the trailer. The camp is fenced with 8' high fence to keep in the fallow. Going to the saw mill or the barn requires opening and closing gates. Going over to the barn today Fred stopped, I jumped off the trailer and opened the gate. He drove through but before the trailer cleared the gate I stepped back, I was facing away from the road, and stepped right in front of the trailer tire. It bent my leg a little but nothing bad. If I had stepped back another inch or two I think it might have broken my ankle. Just a good reminder to PAY ATTENTION. By the way (Mom) I don't even think I'm going to have a bruise.

In the afternoon Fred and I finished the wood ceiling in one of the rooms of the new building. putting 11' long boards on the ceiling may not be as bad as drywall sheets, but it ain't that easy. I will try to remember to get a photo tomorrow.

After work I did some more work on the sewer line. I uncover a few feet of it and moved it slightly sideways so that I could move the end at the RV about a foot. That made opening the "basement" door on the RV much easier.

By the way, my biscuits were good. The canned sausage gravy was not so good. It was as good as what they serve in most restaurants, but not nearly as good as what Kathy makes.

Weather was great again today. A little warm but still very nice. At 7:00 it is still over 70 degrees but it feels comfortable. Tonight's low is supposed to be 58. Highs for the next three days are supposed to be in the low 80's.

I need to get busy and figure out some sight seeing for the weekend. I also need to do some motor home cleaning. I've been good about doing laundry and dishes but time for some dusting and vacuuming.

Have a great evening. May God bless you and yours.
