Rapid

This morning started off pretty chilly. It was an unseasonably cool day- not exactly sure of the temp but I don't think it ever broke 75.

I did chores this morning, and then decided that it was time to give my horse his routine shot. I was fairly impressed that I got the vein on the first shot- lucky duck I guess! But, it was nice to have that done and over with. So, as soon as I could change clothes and get my poop in a group I went straight to Rapid with Merle's pickup (again). Ever since we picked it up it hasn't wanted to stop the transmission and grinds between low and first gear...not convienient at all. So, I drove that pickup to the shop and picked up the one that was there and ready. I made a few stops in Rapid, like Runnings, WalMart, etc. Then, grabbed some Burger King and headed for home.

Meanwhile Merle and Ross finally got the auto gate out with a hydraulic jack- I guess it went really well and much better than last night. They got it to town to be fixed and by the time I came back it was time to head for the hay field. I met Ross in the field and brought him back home to his windrower. After I put my stuff away and changed, I headed out to rake and did so until about 7:30 when we decided we had better come in for chores before the calves gave up all hope of us! O...and while I was out there I definitly found a very wet bottom spot and almost got stuck- it was way wetter than we thought, so we could only do the side hills and whatnot- unfun.

We got that done, at supper, and I have been sitting around doing some school paperwork and other unfun stuff. That totally means summer is almost over :( I am planning to leave here and head east on Tuesday the 25th...suppose I should think about packing? Probably, but I don't wanna- so that's that! lol

I had better head to bed- sounds like we will have to get that auto gate back in tomorrow and do some more haying.
