Getting Closer to WATER

 The guys got most of the pipe

laid yesterday and then

discovered this morning that the

connectors weren't designed for

high pressure (like water....).

So, I jumped in the car and did

a quick trip to Home Depot to buy

some more connectors.

(Luckily they hadn't glued ALL of

the wrong ones in so we will be 

able to return them...)

Anyhow.

I also got 10 dozen eggs prepped for

the freeze dryer.

And then the adult son of a local friend

called and said he had just returned

from Missouri where he picked a 

bunch of morel mushrooms from a

"crick" bottom.

He has purchased lots of fun

freeze dried things from me at

the farmer's market and wondered

if I would be interested in trying

to freeze dry some of these...

I'm always up for a challenge!

So he brought them over and we

put them all spread out on the trays

and popped them into the machine.

Usually I pre-freeze everything, but they are

already pretty "dry" so they didn't

need to be pre-frozen.

(Even the Harvest Right App says

they only need a few hours of pre-freeze

and it's just as easy to do it in the machine.)

Anyhow.

I should have taken a picture,

but I was hurrying to get the eggs into

the freezer so they will be ready when

the mushrooms come out.

I want them all done before I have to

leave town on Friday.

Don't want Rod to have to deal with them.

Anyhow.

I'll snap a picture when they are done.

I needed to clean out the freezer though,

since I wasn't sure if I was going to

pre-freeze or not,

and there was half a bag of

Rhodes rolls.

Put them in pans and set them to rising.

During my final break I put them in the

oven with instructions for Rod to take

them out when it dinged.

That last hour of teaching was

TORTURE!!!

The rolls smelled so good!!!

I'm going to run make some alfredo

and we'll have nice warm rolls with it.

Anyhow.

The guys got the well pump moved from the

stock tank well over to the house well.

They didn't run any water through it though.

They'll do that tomorrow.

Wanted to make sure all the pipes glue

was fully cured.

So, hopefully tomorrow is the BIG day

for water!

It will be so good to just be able to

turn it on down at the garden and not 

need to mess with the generator anymore.

We've been doing that dance for 2 years.

OK,

I'm off to make some dinner.

Have a GREAT night!
