WELL, IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL DAYS AGAIN THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO PUT ANYTHING INTO WORDS. THAT'S SAD! SO MUCH GOES ON UP HERE IN THE "NORTH WOODS" THAT YOU JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET EVERYTHING DONE IN EVERY DAY BEFORE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE JUST GOING TO LITERALLY FALL ASLEEP AFTER SUPPER.
FINALLY WE ARE GETTING THE RAILROAD PARTS REWORKED AND WILL BE ABLE TO SHIP THEM OUT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK ON MONDAY. WHAT A RELIEF!! I AM SURE THIS WILL MAKE OUR CUSTOMER HAPPY, I KNOW IT SURE DOES ME. MAYBE I WILL BE ABLE TO GO HOME FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND ACCOMPLISH SOME THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE. I NEED TO GET MY ROSE ROOM TAKEN CARE OF (I SHOULD SAY, STRAIGHTENED UP) AND TALK TO MY PLANTS. I MISS THEM ALONG WITH MY HARLIE DOG WHICH IS STILL MISSING. I PROBABLY WILL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.
ON MONDAY I LOOKED OUT THE LIVING ROOM WINDOW TOWARD THE DRIVEWAY AND LOW AND BEHOLD WHAT SHOULD APPEAR BEFORE MY EYES---NOT A MINIATURE SLEIGH---BUT 7 OR 8 LITTLE BLACK HEIFERS OUT TAKING A STROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED CARL AND TOLD HIM AND HE AND PETE CAME OUT OF THE WORKSHOP TO GET THEM IN. I HAD TO TAKE CARL DOWN BY THE SHOO-FLY HOUSE TO WALK BACK BEHIND THE CALVES SO THEY WOULD NOT GET INTO THE ROAD. HE HAD TO CLIMB A VERY STEEP HILL TO GET ON TOP OF THE BERM. IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME HOW THOSE LITTLE BUGGERS GET OUT. GUESS WHAT, PETE LEFT THE GATE OPEN! MYSTERY SOLVED.
IT WAS A SUNNY DAY AND WARM (40'S) TODAY. PETE AND I WERE DOING MISC.THINGS UNTIL IT WAS LATE ENOUGH FOR JEREMY TO GET HERE AND THE MACHINE SHOP TO GET THE UNPAINTED PARTS MACHINED. WE WERE FEEDING COWS (ABOUT 10 AM) WHEN JEREMY CALLED AND SAID HE WAS LATE BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN ROUNDING UP HIS TOOLS. HE WOULD BE HERE IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES, ABOUT WHEN WE WOULD BE DONE RUNNING SILAGE. LATER I CALLED DURAND MACHINE TO CHECK ON THE PART PROGRESS. CALL HIT THE ANSWERING MACHINE. NEXT I CALLED PAT ON HIS CELL, AND A STRANGE WOMAN ANSWERED. THIS IS UNUSUAL! AFTER SOME DISCUSSION SHE IDENTIFIED HERSELF AS PAT'S WIFE. THEY WERE IN THE HOSPITAL IN EAU CLAIRE. PAT HAD A HEART ATTACK LAST NIGHT. WOW, JUST WHAT I NEED, PARTS ARE SCREWED UP (MACHINE SHOP ERROR) ALREADY 2 WEEKS LATE, AND THE MACHINIST HAS A HEART ATTACK. HOW MUCH LUCK CAN YOU HAVE AT ONE TIME? THANK YOU LORD! COULDN'T GET A HOLD OF THE GUY THAT OWNS THE SHOP. HAVEN'T SEEN THE CARPENTER GUY.
AS THE DAY WORE ON, THERE WAS SOMEONE AT THE SHOP TO FINISH MACHINING THE PARTS, WE PICKED UP THE UNPAINTED PARTS AND STARTED PACKAGING THEM. NEVER DID SEE THE CARPENTER GUY!!
BOOTS WITH HIS FAVORITE TOY. HE'S BEEN SHAKING THIS COON FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. COONS DON'T EVER SEEM TO ROT.
