 i know your getting tired of hearing this, yesterday at the ranch we were looking for gopher wood. 0.7 inch, threw mud all over. chris is going to be pissed cause i put ruts  in the road . the bday boy went to okieville to celebrate . he had a heck of aride wed.  took his 2 wheeler to the spring with blue summer skies. sprinkled on him when he decided to go to west well. then came a deluge .made it to 4 corners and grabbed another gear on the graveled road. all hell broke loose. derailler chain and the shooting match. carried some pushed some danced in water puddles to get mud off boots.  i found him on forest road 400 with this shit eating grin  sopping wet caring his bike . addled from the moisture i think.

    eggs sausage  and toast and some zucchini bread that marie made , gary pumping spring, jax ,beth and i feeding chickens, cows and horses. gary planting trees and bushes left over from diamond g s' garden center.he gave me the shovel ,just to fill in. couldn't remember how to hold it. painful as it was threw dirt thier way and gary got his drip system going. thought i'd go to hospital  to avoid any more work. gary and marie were off to visit gpa atencio.

    stopped at brandons to show bethers they were stalled not enough flooring. getting ready to do base boards on the finished areas. still have n;t signed. makes me nervous! loaded up beth and jax. took a cow home .took baby lee anne s' hand me downs. there was some whining about  timing of birth. her babys' winter was later than beths' will be so stuff won't fit . all very confusing. suspect we should make a copulation schedule or such so as not to waste that size of sundress.
