2010 - Day Three Hundred Thirty Eight...

A wonderful week-end day. Stayed in bed until after 7 o'clock, which in and of itself is kind of a record. Jody and I got the day started by reading the paper and having coffee. No breakfast, we were really full from dinner last night. I may not have even mentioned that we went to dinner last night at Montana Mike's in Georgetown (in celebration of my birthday) and we both had prime rib, which is TOTALLY on our diets. When we got home, however, the cake we had (compliments of my office) was not on the diet, but we had it anyway, and we are having more tonight. So there! Just in case you care, this is a picture of the water meter I check everyday.

Anyway, the first thing on the list was to try and reach the folks in the corporate maze of BestBuy. We are getting a new washer and dryer, and it is caught up in the delivery/installation/conversion to propane purgatory of the BestBuy oligarchy. We may have gotten everyone to see it our way, maybe not. BUT, they all tell us that they will concede to our desires, and deliver the product on Thursday. THEN, they will send someone out to install the conversion kit and hook the dryer up to the propane source. It is very complicated, so try not to ask too many questions.

After that, we headed out to the big storage shed to begin the miraculous conversion from chaos to organization. After a trip into Georgetown (stopping at Dairy Queen for spoilers of course, also not on the diets) for organizing supplies, we actually made very commendable progress, and we are both proud of the accomplishments. Another three or four days, and the main floor of the shed will actually be (okay, this is actually a MAY BE) organized. At any rate, it is 250% better that it was when we started this morning. Now all we have to do is to figure out what we should do with all the garbage we want to throw away, but cannot fit into the garbage cans. We shall prevail in this quest, I have confidence.

I also moved the cattle to the other pasture this afternoon, and they are happy to be there. We are being shed four calves tomorrow, three are going to be sold, one (that has already been sold) is going to live in Cedar Creek. That will leave us with only the steer calf that is also spoken for. No real hurry for the steer calf to go anywhere, he (it) won't be hurting anyone, and it will give Mr. Speckles someone to play with. Jody (the other Jody, the one from Cedar Creek) and Tonya and their son Patrick will be coming out in the morning to get the calves, and my friend Jim (who owns the other calf) will all be here in the morning around 10 o'clock. I still have a pretty good bit of stuff to do between now and then, but I am pretty much done for the night.

Deeds, Actions, Changes, WATER METERS, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
