I finally got the first of the two packages that I want to send out for Easter sent today. This package went to Kyle. Now there are a lot of things that I’m not very good at, but I’m just saying that I can pack a very good package to be sent. I’d say just exactly what was in the box, but I don’t want to spoil it for Kyle. Once he gets it delivered to him, then I’ll tell you just how much I got jammed inside.
Kyle’s Easter Box – Not pretty but filled to the rim!
I’m also holding my breath to make sure that it gets to him safely. It has his new credit card in it so we’re all wishing it safe travels! Now to start on William’s Easter box this weekend.
When I got home from work today, Daryl asked if I could help him with putting in the new batteries into the tractor. Sure. Doesn’t sound too bad and how long could it take right? Well he said that it’ll take around an hour and that wasn’t the worst thing in the world so off we went. At first there wasn’t much for me to do and after a quick trip to the hardware store for some bolts we were pretty much involved in getting these two new batteries installed. Well, mostly Daryl was involved with it. 
There wasn’t a lot for me to do to start so I was checking out the shed and watching Daryl. I took a quick picture of what Daryl was doing and he jumped about a foot in the air. When I asked him just what in the world he was jumping for, he said that I must not have worked around big batteries before. I kind of shrugged my shoulders and he said that he thought it was sparking. OK, maybe time to shut the flash off for awhile. He only needed my help lifting and getting the batteries back into the right space so I snapped a couple of pictures inside the shed while he was doing his stuff.
Finally the batteries were both in and then he was trying to get the one tire off the tractor. I guess he needs this one tire off so that he could use the tractor tomorrow. He wants to plow if the weather will cooperate and the one tire needs to be off because it’s the side that goes in the furrow. He took the braces off the outside wheel and after whipping a couple of donuts with the tractor in the yard – all the wheels were still on. 
Isn’t that just how it goes? So he left the tractor for now and time to get cleaned up for tonight’s fish fry. We were going to have to go along tonight because our partners in this Roamin’ Catholics adventure were busy tonight. We were going to head to Ridgeway’s fish fry at the Fireman Inn. We laughed when we got inside and was waiting for a table because we knew about 1/2 of the people eating there. I guess there are a lot of people doing the same thing that we do on Friday nights. And honestly – why wouldn’t you? We have the best time every Friday and are always sad when Lent is over. The food was excellent and I can’t hardly believe that next week is Good Friday already. Man that time went fast.
The picture of the day is the rolling guards for the cultivator. OK, I know that they are just pieces of the equipment, but they do look kind of cool don’t you think?
