New Job

You remember I showed you Kyle's new machine.

He has it leased for a month.

Linda approved his plan to take down 80

trees (which he did in the first day...)

(he still needs to chop them up and

carry them off to the dump, but they

are all down at least...)

and then dig a pond.

It's 80 x 80 x 8' deep

with an interior measurement of 50x50.

He will spread all that dirt on the

low spots on her farm that are

ALWAYS flooding.

That will really help.

Anyhow - that IS a lot of dirt.

So... he digs and I haul it off!

This was the very first scoop...

Inspecting the hole.

Hey, this is kind of fun!

My new office.

Rod came over last night and took

some pictures, but he didn't send them to me yet.

This morning I took Rod to his eye doctor.

His glaucoma pressure was a bit higher than

she liked, so he had a laser procedure

to release some of that pressure.

But although she said he would be ok

to go back to work in about an hour,

be was still kind of fuzzy and

didn't feel like he should really be

working on an airplane when he can't see

the tiny stuff.

But he CAN see well enough to drive

the dump truck.

And naturally he is WAY better (faster)

than I am... so he went to work with Kyle.

Poor Kyle will really miss him tomorrow

when he's got me back in the driver's seat...

The job should take about 100 hours or so.

******************************

Meanwhile, my booboo is looking pretty good.

I've been putting Bountiful Balm on it

to help it heal and keeping it wrapped

to keep it clean.

I get the stitches out on Tuesday.

Can't wait!

It's ITCHY!!!
