Everything is shutting down for four days so there will probably be a rush to get things loaded and out of here. Michelle has been by without much to say except a filling fell out of her tooth. I do not have a lot scheduled so I should get my sets in and generally have a relaxed day if Tom does not show up for extended visits. I need to get a card and some money for MaryEllen as soon as possible.

Tom came up for a visit and stayed for quite a while. I guess he took his boys fishing and he wanted to talk about that. I had to work my butt off to get in my three sets of exercises. Then I was jumping up all afternoon trying to get that stupid grass weighed out. We were supposed to get 15 tons and I ended up with 14.78 tons. I skipped the walk around the loop because I told Javier I was hitting the trail at four thirty. Alaska Mill and Feed sent an order after the railcar arrived. A couple of Laughlin trucks and the final containers kept me jumping most of the day. We are practically finished with June all ready. They turned the hay on the farm and was cutting the field by the mill.

I got a letter from Michael and they are still working on that book order for that Robert Woods. Man, if he would get just ordinary books they would have been there a long time ago. I think we will have plenty to talk about tomorrow.

I watched Trust The Man that was about two brothers - one was married and cheating on his wife and the other would not make a commitment. Of course, it was one of those stories where everything comes out okay. I guess I would class it as a girlie movie and really not that well done. Oh well, it was not exactly a waste of money.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment was finding out that Mike's son was staying with his mother because the kid's mother was in California for some drug treatment. It would be great if I got to see him when Mike was released.
