Family
Dad might have gotten a little excited this winter and planted a few too many tomatoes…. 60 or 70 plants too many… . Now for sale - 16” Tall Tomato Plants…. $3 a pop! Ha!
Luke has been dying to learn to ride the fourwheelers by himself. This weekend dad and I were able to get the two little 70cc bikes from his place and take them down to the shop. After a little work - we had one of the little ones running and ready for Luke.

Sunday
Helping hands….
Well I had great plans to get a ton yesterday. I had just gotten out into the garage and started up the heaters when YimmyYo and Phil stopped by with a cooler full of beer. Well I grabbed a MBL from the fridge and joined them for a long hard look at the bike. After looking at the bike for around an hour (and 3 or 4 MBL's) we were almost ready to do something. Just at that moment JohnBoy and Bobberts showed up with another cooler full.
Around this time I gave up on getting any work done and we all turned our attention to drinking. Hell, it was 11:30 at this point. Almost noon on a Sunday and everyone knows that you can't get anything done after noon on Sunday.
A quick phone call and JC and Tish joined us. 7 people, 3 coolers and one small garage. Always a good time!
Well around 5 ish we got a call from Dallas. He was out at the farm BBQ'n a little of this and a little of that. So on the bus we got. I fired up the heater and the engine, let it warm up for a couple of minutes and off to Dallas's we went.
A couple of hours there, a quick stop by the Eagles on the way home for the drawing and in bed (drunk!) by 8:30! The old lady was soo happy!
Maybe we'll get a little more done next weekend....
A Hard Days Work…
