Fencing and Web Updates

After fetching the paper from McDonalds at 7:15 AM I had breakfast while reading it. Worked on updating the MAAVS website with the latest convention info including event schedule, registration form and advertising update. After a nice lunch with BLT made from tomatoes from our garden, I went up the hill and started working on the fencing. Put a second strand to within 100 feet of the creek before running out of staples. Left all my tools on the hill and back to the house for staples, water and a short break. Finished the fence wire job but I still need to add an opening in the fence. I'll do this by adding another fence post 3 feet away from the existing ones and then cut the upper wire. Libbie made the best pizza she has ever made. The thin crust rivaled the Tuscan pizza we had earlier this week it was so good. After dinner I went over to Krogers to get ice cream, shaving cream and shampoo. I couldn't finish washing my hair yesterday because the shampoo ran out.

Saturday This morning I went up the hill and strung the lower strand of barbed wire from the Longo Corner to almost the other end. Ran out of wire about 100 feet short.
Started with a new corner post then stretched the Barbed wire with the come-along and fastened it to the poles 24" above the ground. Came back down to check the time and it was 12:00. Libbie picked up some whole grain bread and bacon for lunch which we enjoyed while watching the antics of the Humming Birds on the back porch. Time to wait for the Home Depot delivery of our dishwasher. They arrived around 3 PM. Went out to Lowes at 4:30 to get a hose fitting. They only had five feet lengths, I only need 18 inches. Bought the five foot anyway andpicked up ribs next door at Target for dinner. Got the dishwasher working by 6:30. In order to make life really interesting, Richard sent the convention stuff for the web site and Anne sent the rest of the files for the convention DVD. Still have not heard from Marjorie - she said she would have pictures this weekend.
Dinner tonight was ribs and Shiraz with brocolli and baked white potato finished with chocolate frozen yogurt.
