Tims travels
It’’s Tuesday morning, and it almost appears to be misting outside. It’’s hard to believe that it is only five days until the sale, and it’’s been busy since the last time I wrote. The fun and adventures don”t seem to stop. We finished up painting this weekend, and the place is picture perfect! Daryl was putting up a new florescent light in the box stall barn the other day, and ran a screwdriver through his hand. Luckily, everything is ok and no major problems.
Sunday afternoon, we had a visit from the California Highway Patrol. Daryl and Marvin were informed that a car had missed the corner down by the heifer pasture and drove through the fence. Funny thing is the plates on the car are registered to no one. So it is hard to do much about it.
Matt arrived on Sunday to help with the fitting crew. The rest should be in sometime on Monday. The sale barn is all complete and ready for the heifers to be tied up. Put up the water line as well for the milk cows that are in the sale.
Sunday night, we went to dinner and on the way home thought about stopping to check on the fence that had been redesigned. Amazingly, the car that now resided in the mud was gone! So, we fixed it the best we could. Hope the heifers stay in.
On Monday morning, we were picking up some old hay around the sale barn and watching the heifers down by the fence. Pam came over to check on us and it appears that the heifers have discovered that the fence mending was not going to hold them in. So off we go to chase the heifers back in. Luckily, they had not gotten out, but we repaired it better, so they will hopefully stay in.
The tent people also came on Monday to put up the tent. Glen is building the sale box. So Tuesday the sale ring will be completed and ready for saturdays big event. The fitting crew finally all arrived this afternoon, after delayed flights, standby and missed flights. So there is alot of adventure yet before it is all over.
Well, need to go for my daily run to the home depot store and help catch heifers.
Hopefully, I can take a few moments to get some photos off of the scenes from Ocean View.
