Tony'n'Gini

Spent the morning catching up on emails. Quite a few have been rolling in and I like to answer all of them. Lots of great messages in support of the Field Lab project. Thanks! Great 10 day forecast ahead.

Hooked up with Ryan to take a trip up to Tony and Gini's place around noon. They had some electrical issues with their RV and I suggested Ryan to them. The kid had all the right answers and tricked out the system without hesitation. He even did a little service on the generator engine. For all south county residents....he really knows his stuff and can fix'r'rig just about anything...and in a timely fashion - not on Terlingua time.

We spent about 4 hours up there which included an excellent grilled steak meal. Nice day for me as I was able to help 3 people just by association. On the way home we stopped by Chuck's to pick up my generator. To the readers of Texas Monthly: I find that at this point in the development of the Field Lab - I finally need a generator - for my welder. Seems one must be a little less green in order to become more green. Kind of like - you gotta spend money to make money.

Ended the day by staging 60 cinder blocks. Took about an hour of late day to shuttle them into ready position. I came across 6 scorpions as I was stacking them into the bed of my truck. Sorry to disrupt their life in the pallet stacked cinder block high rise condo.

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO CHUCK AND AUNT KATHY!!
