What a crazy day.

We had a “Cooking with Herbs” luncheon class scheduled for yesterday.  Four ladies were to be here at noon.  We had most of the preparation done ahead of time but there are always those last minute things to be done to make it turn out impressive.

Of course, this would also be the day everything else happens.

Jane came to pick up the juvenile chicks she is buying from us at 8:15am.  Fortunately those were confined to a kennel last night so that was an easy task but it still required time.

We had a real estate closing at 8:30AM which was more complicated than a normal one because of the financing arrangements.

I just got back from that when the guy came at 10:30AM to load up Earl’s inoperable Explorer to take it back to Denver.  That took some time since the battery was dead on the Explorer and you can’t shift it into neutral to use the winch on it without the battery charged.  This guy restores Triumph automobiles (TR4s are his specialty) so he had the proper equipment to get the job done, but the Explorer is about twice what a Triumph weighs.

The luncheon went off without a hitch and the ladies were duly impressed.  (Helped out our bottom line for the month as well.)
 

When I finally got a chance to relax for a few minutes,  Pam called and wanted me to work at the restaurant Saturday and Monday.  I need to add some funds to my bad habit stash so I agreed. 

Barely got off the phone with her when Gary called saying he was ready to bring us a dump truck load of compostable wheat and where did we want it piled.  We ended up putting it in the far corner southwest corner of the property.  He brought us another truck load and now we have a huge pile of wheat that looks like a sand pile.  We will put it in the loader on the tractor to move it around where we need it.  It has fermented a bit and when the wind blows in the wrong direction it is a bit odoriferous.

Maybe things will be calmer today.
