just a little labor day


Still just the last bit of rain for the season in the forecast so began the day by servicing the gas water pump. Opened up the pump manifold and removed some rocks lodged in there. Also changed the oil. Should be good to go if and when we get the next to last rain. Also need to place my two 1550 gallon tanks to take advantage of these last rains of the season.

Worked another loaf of solar oven bread into the mix today...this one is for my friends David a Susan who just came back out for a building visit. Made my run up to Taurus Mesa to pick up the loaner scaffolding from my buddy Marbert. Smooth sailing all 13 miles to his place. Note to all future Field Lab visitors: Marbert has several dirt runways to choose from if you are flying in. Visitors who have their own plane get the super deluxe tour including a free t-shirt. Delivered some bottles of Marberts favorite beer in exchange for the scaffolding....Shiner Blonde. (If you fly in, bring a case for landing rights) We are both set now for a couple of months. Some of the vistas between our places are quite fantastic.
