Checked up on Chuck this morning and they had finished all the final touches on his container by 10AM. Sadly, he needed one of the gallons of paint he picked up in Alpine that was earmarked for my containers. I burned through the other gallon he bought for me in about and hour and a half. I still need 4 gallons to finish up and called McCoy's today to find out they are OUT and may get more in on Friday. Looks like I will have to switch gears and start setting my first course of cinder block tomorrow. That's OK cause I'm ready for a change of pace and over the painting thing for now. Just as well because I just picked up 125 gallons of free - non potable water from Grub Shack Betty - perfect for mortar mix.Benita was here for the duration today. One of two longhorns allowed in but I think the crew got the message because only about 8 hung out at the end of the driveway all day. You gotta be cruel to be kind...
