Two weekends ago we went out for a work weekend. Without fail, the cows showed up at nightfall. That's a few of 'em up there...Last Friday Doug met with a man about having some bulldozer work done. Since we actually have a mesquite tree farm, we need help clearing some things out. We are having the internal fence lines cleared, so that we can finish up the permanent fencing, plus four acres so that we can get grass growing and get some cows of our own out there.
Things were great until the man with the bulldozer realized that he would not be able to get his equipment onto the property through our existing gate. So, Doug and Wolf had to put in a 20' gate on the other side of the property, that we were going to do at a later date.
Doesn't sound hard...but you forget we live in the 6th level of hell when it comes to heat and humidity. When the two combine like they do in Southeast Texas, it seems you would do things you would be ashamed of later, in order to cool off. I promise...try it some time.
At any rate, they were going to spend Friday and Saturday night on the property...I got a call at 4p.m. Saturday...they were coming home. They did get done what they wanted to, but were not interested in spending any more time than absolutely necessary. I don't blame them.
I will be heading out next weekend and will post pics of the gate. I can't wait to see it.
