COUNTDOWN Day 30

Well, it's true.  Kyle IS moving to the property in Arizona.  He has been dreaming, planning, saving, organizing and now it's time to put the rubber on the road.

First thing he needs is a way to get all his stuff out there...

We have had a client (Trailer Ranch) at Buffalo Graffics for several years.  Frank gave Kyle a FANTASTIC price on an awesome trailer.  

THANK YOU FRANK!

This morning Kyle and I headed up to Deland, FL to pick it up.  Everything went well, he was SUPER pleased with it.  Most of these pictures are for Rod.  Poor man was on pins and needles all day long - anxious to make sure we got there, the trailer was all we hoped, was it beefy enough, was it big enough, did it have a spare tire, were all the things they promised there, could he borrow it???  

So here it is... in all it's glory!  



Just hooking up in Deland.


 First look....


The connection & wiring


Hooked up right


Good beefy front end


Unhooking in the yard


The proud new owner!


Is it all the way down???


Backed it in perfectly straight on the first try!  This kid has TALENT!


Close up of the hook-up.


On the pole outside the fence we had a "visitor" watching to make sure everything went well.  It was our buddy, the Wise Old Owl.  (there were 3 or 4 birds in the neighboring tree dive-bombing him - must have a nest close by... he finally left before I could get a better / closer picture)

Sunsets

It was a gorgeous evening yesterday.  The sky was unbelievable!  Kyle and I love to check out the sunset each evening - and last night was exceptional!

Took a couple pictures, but they didn't do it justice...


 It really looked like the sky was on fire!

While Rod was home this last time, I got him to hang my peppers Nancy made for me years ago.  I actually have Sondra's too - so they are hanging on two of the posts on my patio - but I could only get one in the picture.  (And I think the thermometer is broken - it was definitely hotter than 78!)
