odd monday...

Had a suprise visit today from Beatice and Benito.  They spent the day here with Benita.  Benit"O" still remembers that it's OK to be chummy with me...and he knows his name.  That was a great way to start the day. 

Made 4 more Field Lab tshirts for recent orders and shot down to the post office to send them out.  Lots of chances of afternoon thunderstorms so I gotta get out when I can.  Got back home and took a nap for 2 hours.

Took a late afternoon shower and the skies were still relatively clear so I went down to the Starlight....no food - just a couple of Margaritas with good company.  Home again at 6:45 and cleaned out the spray gun and all its' parts.  Two more (cool work) hours on the scaffold this evening finishing off the south side of the roof structure.  89,100,67,0,B

benito bonding....

Lots of longhorns in this morning. Spent almost 2 hours trying to bond with my future steer, Benito. Slowly followed him around till I could get close enough for him to sniff my hand - finally got close enough to give him a scratch and he was under my spell - for today. Will have to keep working on him while he is young if I ever hope to train him to ride someday.

Ran into Dizzy Dick from yesterdays comments at the GrubShack this morning. He and his wife Ruth were on their way out of the Big Bend. I insisted that they come out for the tour before they left the area. Had a great time showing them around and Ruth is now my official Texas mother to worry about me out here in the desert.

Way too windy to get any welding done so filled the day with errands and visits.... and longhorns and burrows. 67,88,50,0,G
