Bob: Up early this morning. Have to meet Karl at 8:00. Going to help him get some fire wood. I assumed he would be sawing up some down logs and I would be throwing the pieces in his trailer. Well, I was partially right. He has a 24" saw, so the pieces he was cutting were pretty large. We hauled a small John Deere front loader with us to the cutting place. It was my job to load the cut pieces in the bucket and then drive the tractor to the trailer. Then I could lift the bucket and dump it into the trailer. Put about 12 buckets or so in the trailer to fill it up. He figures there is between 3 and 4 cords of wood in each trailer load. We did 2 loads today. Took the first load back and dumped it in the back yard. The trailer has a hydraulic lift so we didn't have to empty the trailer by hand. That was a pleasant surprise. I know we started to cut the second load at 12:40. When we finished dumping it in the back yard and I headed for home it was about 4:50. So it took over 8 hours to cut, haul, etc. Was tired when I got home.
Bonnie has been working on cleaning the cabin among other things. She had lemon pepper chicken, stuffing and salad for dinner topped off with cherry pie and ice cream.
Went fishing just below the camp where I caught the big bass. Bonnie caught a 10" walleye and I was skunked. Getting ready for bed. It has been a long day.
Bonnie: Today I accomplished a lot, actually. It's amazing how dirty the floor in the cabin gets with just the two of us. It needs to be swept every day. Anyway, I cleaned the cabin real well, practiced Primary songs, worked on my lesson for tomorrow and ironed several things. Linda and Herman just gave me the ironing board! They both said they never use it. Nice for me.
Since Bob was so tired when he got home, we decided to go fishing after dinner so he could relax. I love it that I caught the only fish tonight! We're going to bed early so we can get to church early in the morning. I need to get into the library before church starts. I hope all of you have a wonderful Sabbath tomorrow.
