It's been a few days now since I have done anything here. Some of its been just downtime, some busy, and some, just getting through the day.
Sitting here fighting with iListen trying to get this typed. But it seems not to be. finishing this up days later. via keyboard.

What I had started this to say was that my life seems to be starting to sound like a good country song. got a new truck and a new dog. Kept the truck but sent the dog elsewhere. Hated cats and was very destructive. Ate 2 boxes of books and papers, a rug which I had just bought due to the pattern and age, and much foam and cardboard. 3 nights. And barked at everything. Last I saw him was when he was running down the road chasing us in Bertha as we went to get the trailer and a load of wood. Bill was supposed to come this way between 12 and 2 and get him but haven't heard from him. After getting the wood the truck wouldn't start. I thought it was just hot so we went and ate at Lee's BBQ. Came back and still wouldn't crank, so got Mark to jump us off and away we went back to here. 3 hours later. Ah well, such is life.

Back here and unloaded the wood. Had unloaded over a hundred 4 inch solid blocks and 8 inch finish block before leaving out. Cat and I are both about exhausted. Did a bit more on the dozer after reattaching the blade. Had removed it yesterday prior to moving Cats old camper to the other side with the dozer.

Almost got the 12×60 leveled. Still got another inch or 2 to come up on the lower end. Hope to get that done tomorrow. Really need to get some anchors too but don't expect to get that done before the storms hit. I just hope the winds abate a bit before it gets to us. Going to try to get the 14×66 and the old camper on piers tomorrow also. Even if just 4 on each building.

The truck is a 87 Ford Ranger. Silver with a white camper shell. 4 cylinder fuel injected 2.3 with automatic transmission. AC, power steering, and has the tow package. Seems to be a good truck. The only problem I have had with it so far was the other day with about 8 hundred to 1000 pounds of books in the back it didn't want to back up properly. I guess it could be just me. Will have to put a load on it again and see how it does. Everywhere else it has done a fine job. Guess we will see. Got it cheap enough I would put a transmission in it if necessary.

Now to clean the Lincoln up a bit and see what we can get for it. Insurance on 4 if just too much… Course I may trade it in on a van instead. I think we still need one for large buying trips. The truck holds a good bit but not like a 3/4 ton van will. But the ranger should get a LOT better gas milage.
