Sunrise was nice, as it creeps over the horizon it shines in the window.
All the appliances work, they just can not be used at the same time. 🙂 We scrubbed the living quarter floors and washed down the cupboards. The rest has just been little things that needed to be taken care of.
ran to the store and picked up trash basket, shower curtain and some food. Potatoes were 10 Lbs for $1, we grabbed 3.
Freckles has been off leash most of the day. She has met the neighbor dogs, who are not too fond of her.
No TV, no books and it is dark outside, so going to bed early.
Month: October 2010
Productive on the ranch
Well, I was able to put the King mattress in the the camper. OK, it may not have been pretty but it was accomplished. I went out to the ranch and setup the camper also. I setup the King bed in the master bedroom and then started on the electrical.
The electrician stopped out. The Breaker was not broken, (Silly me) it appears that the breaker was only partially in. One side was corroded. He took it out and hammered it back in. It is working.
We have 220V on the property, although the meter needs to be changed as it is only 100A.
I finished the stove wiring and will install the new meter box next weekend.
Need to go get Susan from the house for the weekend.
Long day at work
It was a long day at work waiting to get to the weekend.
Tomorrow should be a big day, as I am hauling the camper out to the property.
Just another couple of days
The last few days have just been like any other days. Worked at the office; came home ate a little; checked out the pond status; hit the computer or the TV and then went to bed. tonight I need to start planning the weekend at the farm.
Oh the trip to San Fransisco for work came through in November. Then we have a lame retreat. I would not call it lame but a bunch of IT people on a ranch? (I would rather have the time off at my own farm.) Some of us like to the outdoors and some of us tolerate people, but many of us do not like both. I’ll deal with it, it is the following week after the trip.
Weekend is ending
Well, with the fridge cooling and needing to get the old one packed, I was packing the trailer until 11:30 PM on Friday night. Needless to say we did not drive to the property until Saturday.
Saturday was kinda productive. Washer and fridge is in place and functional. The stove and dryer in place, but not functioning as there is a breaker problem. I need an electrician to change out the breaker panel on the pole or I will need to have the power turned off by the power company.
This morning we woke up to another flat tire this morning. I was able to get as far as removing the lugs, but could not get the rim off. It needed to be hammered with a mallet from under the truck to break a rust seal that was created between the rim and the axle. We packed up and got home about 3:30 PM.
After talking my shower and getting something to eat, I decided to look at the work on call phone. There were calls there. I found the ringer on vibrate, I know that the coverage is very good for the phone and trying the air card proved almost worthless on the farm. It was already 5 PM and all I could due was flag them and learn from is mistake. I will try to find a way to handle this month or switch it with someone, at least on the weekends.
I guess I will see what they say about it tomorrow.
