So I got back yesterday from a week off work. Wasn’t a fun week of vacation, but still, there’s catching up to do.

I had picked this time of year because I would finally have enough vacation accumulated to have a paid week off, and also because the work going on around here slows drastically in the fall. I’ve got a few things on my list, but fortunately, not that week.

But I walked in my office to find four giant lockers, upside down in the middle of my floor. Seems that the contractor that shares the building was rearranging, and donated these things to our shop-building project. That’s nice. But in the middle of my office? They couldn’t go outside? I couldn’t even get to all of my houseplants to water them.

Thankfully, someone helped me move them outside, and I’ll bring them home a couple at a time. That and the ceiling fan that someone else took out of their house and donated for the barn, and the old but still functional fridge for the tack room (or beer). I swear, we’re outfitting the whole shop and barn in Air Force surplus, but at least it’s been come by honestly. Most of it was bought at auction.

And that’s all I’ve got to talk about today. No news, no special events; just regular everyday living. We’re roping tonight, so there’s the potential for something interesting to happen there, but we’d all rather it just stayed routine.
