Randomness

Let's see...

1. I have 74 scrubbies!

I am out of yarn, but I might make

a run into town later today and

get a couple more balls so I can

finish the box.

2. I LOVE Rozann's laughing baby ringtone.

So the other day I searched and found it.

And installed it on my phone.

Hope you don't mind!

I also picked a new text sound.

It's a rooster crowing.

Drives Beau crazy.

Which I think is funny.

And because the laughing baby can't help

but bring a smile to my face each time

I hear it, I don't even MIND those stupid

robo / spam calls anymore!

Bring 'em on!

I laugh with the baby for a sec, and then

delete the call.

Thanks for the grin.

3. Kyle survived the sink hole incident.

(See yesterday's post if you haven't already...)

And has moved on to his next ... thing.

The crew came out to get started building his

new out building to house his tractor, etc.

In the midst of the sink hole thing,

he came up to the front of the property to get

the tank to rescue himself and noticed a

minor issue.

Each of these posts are cemented into the ground.

Each of these posts are 11 feet apart.

He has two 16 foot roll-up doors going in.

Not sure how THAT is supposed to work...

Hahahaha

So it was back on the phone to the daughter who

was in charge of ordering the building.

This morning he was out there waiting when the

crew showed up. Brought his drawing with him,

talked to the crew foreman and they got it all 

figured out. They are going to pull 2 of the posts,

reset them the right distance, and then make a steel

header to go over the door.

He was grateful Kyle caught it early enough that

it was a minor inconvenience instead of after they

already had the roof trusses on.

The "big man" came out to find out what's 

going on and when Kyle talked to him,

he was really pleasant and reassured him that

it wasn't going to be a big deal.

They already have 2 17.5' beams fabricated

out in the yard so with some minor adjustments

they will be ready to go. 

Won't even impact their timeline.

So...

another crisis averted.

Whew!

Just meant instead of getting started 

on his tractor this morning early like

he had planned, he had to stay up

at the front of the property and is

about 2.5 hours behind schedule.

Plus the 3 hours from the sinkhole yesterday...

And they are forecasting rain for the rest of 

the week starting late tonight or early tomorrow.

He is watching his window close.

And its stressing him out a bit.

Welcome to ranching.

(But he still loves it...)

Ok, it's 11:00.

Time to get my breakfast eaten.

(I've been on the phone all morning...

got the horses fed, the kitchen floor washed

and the dishwasher going...

but I'm a little behind myself...)
