Last Thursday we had our HVAC system serviced. Thankfully, it just needed to be rewired so that it would communicate with the thermostat so it won't cost an arm and a leg, but service calls are not inexpensive since it's 50-60 miles out here.
As Joseph was leaving, with cookies 😉, the dump truck with base material for some road prep showed up.Traffic jam at the end of the dirt road
Fabric is expensive these days, but so are rocks.
DH wanted to build up the road a bit and change the grade
to help divert rain water away from the cattle guard he and our boy installed on Friday
I told DH I felt fancy
We've got another cattle guard to install later this week, but we were pulling everything together to brand our calves on Monday so other projects were postponed.
That means lists and phone calls were made on Friday. Brand inspectors, health papers, vaccine, trucks, confirm dates and times with everyone on the crew as well as the owner of the grazing lease. Lots of moving parts.
A trip to town in separate rigs filled up Saturday for both of us, but lunch out was a treat
I never enjoy going to town, but being in there on Saturday makes me break out in hives. It's just too people-y out there. 😉
And I was in the kitchen on Sunday.
I made salsa
Queso
And Cookie Jar Gingersnaps (an old photo, from when I first posted the recipe, that still makes me smile). I was going to make Special K Cookies too, but DH didn't think I needed to make 2 kinds. I was running out of steam by then anyway. 😉
And loaded coolers and everything else I'd need in order to be ready for Monday as DH loaded his rig for everything for branding calves.
I put a note on the fridge to remind us to pack the vaccine in the morning because I don't trust myself to think clearly at 3:30 a.m.
Time on the deck to visit and double check our lists is a good way to close out the weekend
