Linda, Doug, and Adam just left for another baseball tournament in Seattle. We said our goodbyes and appreciations and got instructions from Linda how to head to Pomeroy. She made sure Judy was close at hand to hear the instructions....just because I got lost last night after dropping Lucille home and getting turned around pulling off the road to talk to Norm on the cell, she doesn't trust me. We will get our final laundry done, showers, hair wash tonight so we are fresh to head out trailering to Pomeroy in the morning. Hopefully, Forest Service reports of clear roads to Lewiston are correct.
Cousins Linda, Adam, Doug Mathews
There was one hay loading ad in the local paper today. Otis will be coming over around 6:00 to tie my new tarp over the hay on top of the horse trailer. The original tarp was old to begin with, and with all the wind storms here, had really taken a beating. Doug had tied it down better for us, but was a little small and very ragged. I climbed up this morning to change them out myself, but was feeling a bit uncertain about climbing over the tool box and water tank to secure it. Didn't want to ask Doug to help as I knew they were trying to get ready to head out. Turns out Otis doesn't live far so should be able to get it done quickly and won't cost me much
While Otis was working on the tarp, I was moving the pasture hose and sprinkler. I must have pulled too hard and broke the pvc pipe stand the faucet was attached to....snapped a 12" piece off 4" in the ground. As the water was gushing, I was frantically looking for a "well" circuit breaker to turn off. I called Linda on the road and they told me where to turn off the water. Luckily the turn off was for sprinkler system only and didn't affect the house. Can't believe I did that! Both Doug and Linda were so gracious and "No big deal" about it.
