nasty weather for easter weekend

we ended the week with hot temps. here I am rehydrating myself via the water tap with shannon's (shelter crew) two boxers joining in on thursday

the glulam has been sanded and light fixtures hung, I expect to see the temporary platform taken down today.

we had family and friends in town for the easter weekend. saturday was filled with non stop rain decorated with a few bits of sleet and snow. we had a small party and we used three outdoor fireplaces to keep us warm and toasty

sunday morning involved a fast paced easter egg hunt followed by a cascarone battle, note the nearly identical position of their feet as one blow is sure to be followed by another to send more egg and confetti shrapnel flying through the air
sunday afternoon was mostly dominated by trying to help logan get back to Texas A&M. his voltage regulator gave up just about 5 miles out of austin. it was not easy trying to locate a replacement part on easter sunday. we finally found one pick and pull style place that saw us hiking through mud and climbing up to a bmw that was stacked on top of another car to pull a used part. logan also suffered an egg sized lump to the head when the hood to that parts car came crashing down on his head. was just coincidence that he'd coasted to the side of the rd next to this sign. jerky sample anyone? it's free.
by afternoon he was back on the rd and did make it to his destination.
the joy of owning an older german car often involves puzzles that need to be solved, even on easter sunday by the fresh jerky stand
sunday was not a total loss, kat worked very hard at sweeping and cleaning up the new house. we are actually getting ready to start moving. we have a toilet over there and will begin to move appliances over this week. push to get CO in a/b two weeks is on.
