Checking in

Wow, it has been almost three weeks since my last entry.  We must be having fun or not doing much.  We've worked, hung out, been fishing, and made weekly trips to Rapid City.  Yawn!  See, not too much to write about.

This afternoon it is 47 degrees outside and raining . . . when is it going to stop?  It would be lovely if the sun would shine for more than a few hours a couple of days a week.  There is a glimmer of hope for some good weather later this week.  I certainly hope so as we have friends flying in from Sacramento for a quick visit.  Doing the tourist thing in the rain really is not that enjoyable and we want them to have a great time as we have lots to show them.

John split wood this morning with the splitter and is now bundling it up for later sale.  He erected a tarp between trees so that he could keep working while it rained.  As it has been cold all day, I took him some hot chocolate instead of a Diet Coke around 3:30.  He wasn't being bothered by the rain at all and even had the golf cart under the tarp keeping it dry.  Last weekend, John built a jig for stacking the wood into the right size and then bundling it all at an easy height.  Pretty smart thinking as there is a lot of wood to be split and then bundled this summer as the ready for sale supply is nearly gone and the busy season is almost upon us.  

Well, that is about it from Custer for now until next time . . . bye.
