Well not a lot has been happening lately except rain and work. Well that is what normally happens. Rich and I are building a outhouse for a lady, so that is what the pictures of the whole are. It was very difficult. The whole is now about 9 ft deep. That should last about 30-40 yrs. Also the dirt is very hard so the digging is very hard and slow because we have to bring up all of the dirt with a little 2 gallon bucket and a rope. So that is slow. The other picture is of Davy mowing grass behind our house. That is one thing that i dont look forward to doing but it is kind of fun as well. it just takes a long time. The other is Holdman. He is a guy that comes to church from time to time. His sister comes all the time. The little house is a project of ours as well. We built this house for a lady and she seems very pleased with it. And the family picture is our neighbors. They are very friendly and nice. When we are not at home, they make sure people stay away from our house. Most of the time they catch the people but when it rains real hard is when the robbers make their moves because you cant hear them. The other night it rained very hard. I had 6 pairs of jeans on the line on our front porch, and i forgot to bring them in. When I woke up, 2 pairs were on the ground and 4 were stolen. I had a light on all night and we have a dog, but they are sneeky. That is the first time they have taken stuff off our front porch because we always have a light on. Now i guess I have 4 pairs of jeans less to wash. Maybe soon they will not have anything to steal from me and they will quit..But i imagine i will always deal with it. Yesterday, we went out to Palmerita to chop silage again with Jason. It was only about 100 degrees. But the sun was baking. We worked for about 4 or 5 hrs and then took a lunch break. Then we went back to work. I felt kind queezy and had a headache. Then i felt really weak and sick. I laid under a shade tree and brought all my dinner back up. I was so week i couldnt walk. So i had to stay out there for the night because i was too weak to drive the motorcycle home. They said it was a heat attack from not drinking enough. I slept 14 hrs and woke up and felt alost fine. Still a little weak.

I think so far out of the 14 days of this month, it has rained 12 of them. So that is what rainy season is like here. It normally rains in the afternoon, so we try to work in the morning when it is cool.Well i should run. If you have questions, just leave me comments..Joel
