Day One Hundred Three...

Well, yesterday was Easter Sunday, and when we headed out for dinner, we decided to go to the Catfish Cabin instead of Chili's. They were closed. Then we decided to go into Georgetown and try the Monument Cafe. They were closed. Then we made a tour of the Square in Georgetown (scoping out other possible shop for our consigned space to sell our stuff) and EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED. Then we decided to try the big shopping center, and go to Sour 'R Salads and they were closed. We ended up at a place at the shopping center (I can't even think of the name) that was open, and the food and the service was nothing more than adequate. So, I guess we won't be going back there any time soon. On the way home, we passed by Chili's, and they WERE OPEN, and doing a big business. Funny, if we had gone there to start with...

My goal is to get into the office early this morning and get what needs to be done finished. I have a lunch meeting at the Board of REALTORS and then I am planning to come home to watch the folks put in the pads for the wind turbines. That is the plan, anyway. I also need to stop at the county tax appraisal office and file some paperwork for our Homestead exemption status. That should not take more than a few minutes. We shall see...

In the 'Why Do I Even Try' department...this is what I was up against on the way into the office this morning...and this is not even the whole truck! I guess only this part of the truck flipped on its' side, and maybe the tractor part stayed upright and drove away, but it was no where in sight. AND how do you push the trailer part of an 18-wheeler off the highway and onto the grassy shoulder of the Interstate? The mind boggles!

Okay, the wind turbine folks got here a little after 5 PM (it is now just about 8:30 PM) and they are just now leaving. They should be back tomorrow morning, and get everything completed around 5 PM tomorrow afternoon. So, so far they have dug two 6' by 6' holes, three feet deep, and dug trenches from where each of the turbines will be to the house. They will set these really big screws into the concrete and that ought to hold up the masts for the turbines. These screw things are about 42" long, and will be set into the concrete so about 6" of thread will be exposed. It is (hopefully) going to be an amazing adventure. Again, we shall see...

So, you should know how this entry is going to end, so just go do something nice for someone, and just tell them I sent you. Have fun!
