YEA!!!!
Rozann was able to comment yesterday...
I don't know what changed,
but I'm super excited!
Ahem.
Anyhow.
1. I'm feeling so much better!
Still have an occasional cough,
but like 5 a day instead of
5 a minute.
My voice sounds a bit like I've smoked
4 packs a day for 20 years,
but now it's "sexy" instead of "mousey"
and I'm ok with that.
(Although Beau is pretty much the only
one I talk to during the day... lol.)
2. Kyle's building is coming
right along!
These guys are good at what they do!
Once they get started, there's no stopping them!
It's only day two!
He is working on plowing up his back pastures
to prepare them for putting down
grass seed for this summer's grazing season.
He wants to have the seed in the ground
the first week of June since that's the
start of rainy season (according to the
local extension agent...)
The new bottom plow is doing a really good job.
But it's S L O W work.
He can only drive about 2 miles an hour.
Luckily his tractor has a closed in cab
with air conditioning and a very comfortable
seat, so he gets in, turns on his audible book
and gets started.
He has to really stay focused,
watching in front and behind to make sure
he's going straight,
his plow isn't getting caught on anything,
the grass/dirt isn't balling up under
the tines...
and, of course, he's not falling in a sinkhole!
It's a LONG day.
He figures he'll be driving his tractor
an average of 12-14 hours per day
for the entire month of May.
He will take a day off to come home because
he needs to get a D.O.T. physical to keep
his truck license current, and we need
to do the "weigh and spray" thing again
mid-month.
But otherwise....
he's going to be "living" in his tractor.
So if you have any good book recommendations!
He loves the Work and the Glory / pioneer type books.
Not a big "mystery" reader.
But mostly he just really likes a good story.
