Learning

 Yesterday Kyle and I went out to the farm.

(I took Beau, since I wasn't going to be there long...

but he isn't going again.....)

Of course, there was lots of mud since we got

some rain earlier overnight and in the morning.

So now my backseat is a mess.

And I had a bag with a couple extra water

bottles in it, and he found them and his

FAVORITE game is to take the lid off

empty water bottles.

Only these were full.

Luckily it was still in the bag, so I just

grabbed the whole thing and tossed

it in the bed.

SIGH.

Plus he wanders. And he is the same color

as much of the brown grass.

So I had to really watch him.

(Hello, coyotes...)

Anyhow.

It was a one and done for him.

But the REASON I went out there was to

learn to do the things that Kyle does.

He's going to make a trip back to Florida

on Tuesday and I'm going to need to

get stuff done without him.

So he gave me a crash course (with pictures)

on how to do stuff.

What order to do stuff in.

How long stuff should take.

Etc.

(I brought my little black book and TOOK NOTES!)

So...

Wish me luck!

We are going out again Thursday (I don't teach on

Tues or Thurs) and I'm going to do it all and

have HIM watch.

WEEEEE!

Anyhow.

Then I loaded up Beau and took him home while Kyle

stayed out there and finished mowing the 40 acre

and a path from the water trough to the back of

the property and then up the hill to the old CRP.

(just a fenced off area that WAS under contract

with the Fed Gov as protected, but we got out

of that contract. They pay $800 a year and we can't

use that property until like 2032! NOPE!)

Anyhow. (again)

Then he came home and we had a nice

dinner and watched some TV.

Today I'm teaching and he's back out there

watering and doing whatever else he needs

to do to get stuff ready for me.

This is my final week of "double dipping".

Beth returns from Europe this weekend.

But I cover for her the next 2 Friday mornings.

Hahaha.

I THINK I have all of Wednesday off next week

because we traded her Friday morning 

for my Wed night since she probably could

use a paycheck.

That's what my calendar says...

But that's open to interpretation.

Anyhow. (again)

HAPPY Independence Day!!!

Since I might not get on here tomorrow.
