Cool and cloudy till the sun came out. Then it was beautiful.
Today was a work day at the Health Department.
After work I got new plates and tabs for the utility trailer that I bought from Faye last May. The Licensing Bureau was in the County Building right across the street from the Health Department.We weren't using it but I've been thinking about how useful it would be for hauling manure and gravel.
On the way home I stopped to pick up some cat and dog food. I hate running out.
While I was at work, Chas had an exciting day. Mike H and Gary N came by to pick up the oil tank we'd discussed at the meeting. There were four people helping. Charles R showed up and he helped load the tank onto Gary's pickup. Since the tank was missing a leg I assume that Mike was there to weld on another leg and to help Gary check the tank for leaks or rust. The tank looked like it was in pretty good shape. It was definitely too good to scrap.
Mike brought back the ultrasound cleaner. Rich took it over to Jon O. He's having a crew come in and he'll use it to clean up some of the tools that got mud-infested in the 2007 flood.
Sharon and Charles visited with Chas and enjoyed some coffee with him for about an hour.
Just after Chas had settled in to eat lunch, Pat came by. Pat is the guy we're talking to about installing a water system to our various barns and to also run electricity out to all the buildings through the same trench. We'll have at least five hydrants installed. The trench will have to be extended to the potting shed and to the chicken house. I guess Pat will give us a bid next week. It sure would be nice to have water and power in the outbuildings. Then I shouldn't have to worry about frozen hoses like I do now.
Dinner was hot noodles. Chas was kind enough to prepare some of the vegetables while I cut up the roasts I bought. I bought about 10 pounds of beef in two roasts two days ago when I went grocery shopping. I cut one up into roasts that I can recut into steaks if I prefer steaks. The other I cut into steaks and a couple of roasts. Much easier to buy large chunks and cut them up into the cuts I want. I expect I will have to use my beef tenderizer with the steaks. The meat in the hot noodles was a little tough.
Tomorrow the guys come to help out. I think it will be Dexter pen cleaning time. The poor cows are up to their udders in mud. I also want to castrate Three, my milking shorthorn bull I've been bottle feeding. It's time to wean him.
