Weekend Summary

I’m not sure where to begin, I should be working on an estimate and a schedule, however still waiting on parts for my computer and this throws me for a loop, I struggle to regain my focus and so finally when I’m totally discombobulated I decided to type some on this until I regain my equilibrium. My first meeting for today cancelled, my second appointment went off without a hitch, but then my third stop which was for my computer parts didn’t conclude successfully and so now I’m refocusing and I’m, busy re-planning the next steps and this for some reason is always hard for me when my day doesn’t unfold as hoped.The following picture was taken on my way to my first appointment. It was in a very pretty part of town.

I worked again on the Sheep Ranch Friday after work, all day Saturday and then again for a couple of hours in the afternoon yesterday. It was an interesting weekend with very little sleep on Friday night due to an asthma attack that kept me awake. I then put in several long hours on Saturday and I literally don’t remember when finally I fell asleep Saturday evening. The last thing I remember is sitting on the bed! The following picture is one of the bottle fed babies who while he doesn't get bottle fed any more still thinks he should!

One of my projects on Saturday was to construct some parts and pieces to make a creep pen for the baby lambs. They need to be able to eat some high quality feed without their mom’s getting it all. It was a fun and interesting exercise and I was very pleased with the final results. In fact helping move some of the pieces into place was my task on Sunday afternoon. I haven’t seen it work in person yet, however I am in receipt of a picture which showed happy lambs eating away.

Picture one is the work in progress, picture two is when it was all done.

Tasks at home are also piling up too, so likely tonight I will end up doing some work there. I have a fair bit to do so don’t want to wait too long to get it done. Last week I removed the old tub surround in our bathroom as it had deteriorated over time due to the poor choice of material the builder used when he built our place. Now it’s waiting to be put back together so there is no shortage of stuff for me to do.

The following are some pictures I took at a museum close to the farm. One is a painting of the original buildings on the farm. The next is a photo of when the original barn burnt down.

Well, Monday night I arrived home and cleaned a year’s debris from the gutters, water can now flow unimpeded once again. Tuesday, Canada Day, I got up at 4:30 AM and drove to a client’s job-site in Camrose, Alberta to deliver some materials they had ordered. This was a pleasant and uneventful road trip and I was back home by 11:30 AM. Then I thought I would grab a nap, this didn't happen as others in the household decided that they were done napping and we should all be up! I then went and cleaned a bunch of garbage out of the back of Kelsey’s truck (The Dragon) and went and got a new box liner for it. Following this task I tackled the back yard and got it cleaned up. Discovered two new trees growing right where I would want them too if I had chosen so was excited about that.

Now it’s a bright and sunny Wednesday morning. I have just delivered Cubber to work and I am finally sitting at my desk contemplating what to do next. There is a lot to be done and sooner rather than later I have to get to it. Hope you have an excellent day wherever you are when and if you read this.
