The Haps

We started the day at a ward pioneer day breakfast. It was good times; the kids learned to jump rope and play tug-o-war and Ginger delighted the crowds dancing to live fiddle music.
I spent most of the day pulling the head gasket on the metro engine. It was definitely blown. It looks like the block is in good shape, so with any luck and a couple of hundred dollars, that engine should be better than when we got it.
Jessica went off shopping with her friend for the evening, so her friend's husband and I were kicking around on the farm and he seemed willing, so I enlisted his help for a long-overdue shearing, worming, delousing and hoof-trimming on our Shetland ram. It was a lot of work and it is hot here, but we got him all done and had energy left over to trim the hooves on the two ewes and worm them too. Wow, what a bunch of stinky work.
Feels good to have accomplished something though...
