A journey with my boys- The Elf Barn as I call it.

[45Kevin]

It's been so wonderful following your boys for 8 years now.
They are doing great and they have definitely inherited have the cruiser bug.

Keep up the posts and, next thing you know we'll be seeing wedding pictures. Right on.

Final concept. Time for screwing them into the false floor and adding bark mulch.

Now all you need to do is find yourself a Cracker Barrel sign.

On the last stretch.

@Cowboy45 just got done with SAE Baja racing in Oregon. Expecting him home in a three days. We miss the elves. Life is happening that makes it bitter sweet. We take it in as it is gifted. He is off to Peoria IL to get orientation at Caterpillar for his summer internship in Ft.Worth. He will be home in the evenings. In the meantime my furry elf of a daughter is keeping us entertained. She is six months old! Loves to take a nap. She is the daughter I never had. Stubborn as a mule. Gobs of attitude and wants to help in everything we do. A great Tomboy. Lonestar is a gentle brother, showing Aggie what Golden’s are meant to be. I have never been the type to strip a dog of its character to be at my beck and call and cue. It’s a blessing to have them all in our lives. The reminder to be present is vivid.

Very proud of @Cowboy45 and his new role at BAJA. Chief Engineer for next year

Aggie has a new Aggie friend. @Cowboy45 is home for the summer!

I want to be a CAT intern. Little kids dream of yellow equipment. @Cowboy45 is living it up this week. Seems like a great outfit. They pay attention to the next generation of elves really intentionally.

^ that looks like one hell of a welcome!

The elves are home this weekend. Still busy. @Cowboy45 just got back from CAT orientation and is in BAJA project meetings already for next year's truck. I thought I had back to back calls….yeesh! He starts his internship Tuesday. Hours are 6:30a to 3p. With an hour commute, that gets him up at about 5a each day. @SipLife attended his first wedding of one of his high school friends on Friday. Both elves are going to a college graduation crawfish boil this afternoon. Rolling with it all. Wife and I are full steam ahead on a chicken coop mansion. Will post on that later. My stuff is taking a back seat. Need to prep Kermit for SAS and baseline the big rigs. Despite the buzz of the daily, it’s grounding to relax on the tiny house porch. Aggie loves it too. This might be where I catch my sunrises that have not happened for a while.

It’s been a minute for sunrises hasn’t it?

Had that thought yesterday in fact.

It was a great day. Worked with the wife on the chicken coop for about 6 hours and got a tonne done. Made some dinner (grilled lamb cubes, kimchi rice, beet salad) and wound down with the fam watched the sun set over a fire and a cheroot.

So you got a metric ton done.

I have a British schooling…. Tonne/ Ton….potato…

I lived there for 7 years. Just pointing out that you got 200lb+ more done than a regular ton.

Would a buttload also suffice?

How many washing machines is that?

I believe that measurement only applies to coffee.

 

[RevISK]

I believe that measurement only applies to coffee.

oh contraire good sir...
It suffices for any liquid and is approximately 127 gallon of cask contained fluid such as ale, wine, water or working on a chicken coop.

yes.
