Work and than more work.....

Easter Jeep Safari went off with very few problems. Other than a couple of minor violations it seemed that the party sceen has found a different location to spend Easter.

Easter Sunday was spent first in Church (now 9:00!) than for a 4 hour "jaunt" to Fillmore to see a puppy, a very expensive puppy. We managed to spend a little time with close family before making another 1.5 hour drive to Orem to spend the night at my parents house.

The above picture is what happens when you buy 450' of chainlink, (42) top posts, (36) line posts, (13) corner posts, (56) 80lb bags of concrete, (3) walk gates, (1) 10 foot drive gate, some other doohickies and doodads used in construction of a chainlink fence, then toss on a big flatbed trailer, throw on a wheelbarrow to get the job done than drive 240 miles back home. That was a long day. No room on the trailer for the mancave lumber, maybe next time.

Note the nearly completed Blazer sitting idle in the background.

I contacted a local tractor owner and hope to have the lot plowed and ready next weekend for the contruction of the silver woven kid trap.

After getting done with my ?days off? I went back to work and headed into Hammond Canyon for an overnight surveying trip.

I am not a cowboy, the horses know it. For some reason horses see me and develop an attitude. Maybe it's the prospect of packing around a 250lb Ogre, maybe it's because my feet drag on the ground, whatever the reason, horses don't like me. We spent two days laying down the survey marks for an old homestead. Hammond canyon is full of archeology and consequently more work for me.

Progress on the Blazer

Today I got the ignition wired, the guages wired, the light swich ready, just have a couple of things to button up like the winshield wipers and my new stereo; and the wiring will be done. I am trying to get the Blazer out soon so that I can focus on more important things like the man cave and airplanes.

I am trying to get my chores done, or create more chores depending on how you look at it. The tractor is coming soon to plow the lot hopefully this weekend I will be getting a couple loads of dirt on so that I can get to work on installing the fence.

Spring is on in San Juan County. Half of the county is out looking for antlers, the other half are hunting either turkeys or Bears, some of the multi-talented ones manage to look for antlers while hunting bears and turkeys.

Amy is getting excited about the new dog she is getting next month. Another girl in the house, as if I wasn't outnumbered as it was. She wants me to name the dog but I am sure she will carry the veto vote if she doesn't approve of one eyed bart, bevis, or any other fun name.

Man Project Status: stagnant

Last Sunday I was out working and took this picture. This is at the edge of my patrol area looking west. This weekend my parents made the trip to Monticello and my dad and I got some of the projects done around the house in yard, they aren't Man-projects (clean the floor in the garage, dig a post hole and cement the clothesline pole, build a shelf in the pantry, and haul a load of junk to the dump). The blazer project is barely creeping along. My lack of motivation is the biggest obstacle.
