The latest from Ocean-View
It’s Wednesday and Glen and I have been busy with the washing project. We are nearing completion of this project, and ready to move on to something new. Finished up on a landscaping project today, and planted some shrubs around the yard yesterday. Things are coming together, and Pam’s checklist is getting smaller. Tomorrow we may start on another painting project or begin setting up the sale barn. Oh how fun it will be to pound stakes into ground that is cement hard.
The other day, Glenn was practicing his target practice, and discovered that pellet guns and pvc pipe don’t bond together well. While shooting at his target, he knicked the pvc pipe, which of course is used as a water line here in California. So target practice immediately ceased, and a repair job began. I learned very quickly where the water shut off valve is to the sale barn. The break is fixed and all is back to normal. Lesson well learned.
yesterday morning at 4:00 am the phone rang. On the other end of the phone line was the guy that delivers hay to Ocean View. So I was up and ready to do my part to assist with stacking hay in California. Three semi’s of hay arrived, and I was introduced to a California’s way of mowing hay. They have this thing called a hay sqweeze! It is the most amazing invention ever. It picks up a stack of hay and sets it where you want it placed. No elevators needed out here. What would take us all summer to unload and mow in Wisconsin was done in an hour. Got to get one of them for back home.
11 more days until Chris and Horace get in the box and make the first announcements. Pam and Katie are extremely busy in the Westwynde office with proof stuff and sire directories. Katie has been handling the phone calls and requests for the sale.
Well, need to get back out and see what else we can finish up today before the sun goes down.
