Wow, this past school year flew by. We have already been on our first camping trip. I didn't take any pictures but Angela did so I am sure she will post a few. We went up on Caliente summit and campled out at the trail head for the uhv trails. It's a good thing we camped there because there was a bathroom. We did take our trailer, but, we had a few problems. The sink tap broke so Gary went to Caliente and bought a new one. He came back and we both had to work at getting it to go on, finally we had success. We turned on the pump and yeah the faucet worked, but I could hear some water running somewhere so I went into the bathroom and water was spraying out of the back of the toilet onto the wall. We immediately turned off the pump and yes, another trip to caliente. They didn't have the part to fix the toilet there so we bought some waterproof putty. We got back to camp and Gary proceeded to knead the putty and then applied it. We let it sit for 1/2 hour and then turned on the pump. It seemed to be holding but we didn't want to press our luck so we did not use the bathroom. I know now why I really like having a self contained camp trailer. I do not like getting up at 2 in the morning and trudging to the potty. Anyway, Sunday morning rolls along and Ang and Aaron and boys came up to join us. They put up their tent and we proceeded to camp. We went riding on the four wheelers and the Honda big red side by side (it is really fun, by the way) There are fantastic trails all over up there. We were later just hanging out when Ang noticed that the carpet was very wet by our bed. We know that the dogs can't pee that much so we determined it was coming from somewhere else, Guess what? The toilet job did not hold well so we made sure we never left the pump on so that it reduced any pressure on the leak. All in all we had fun. We are in the process of getting the toilet fixed, the part is on the way. We will be back in business in no time and ready to head out for another adventure. I have been busy pulling weeds this week. I was going to pay a kid to come and pull them and then I decided I would just pay myself. I have decided I am very generous. Anyway I still have more to go but I have a good start on them. Gary says that he is cutting back on hours at the ranch (I will believe it when I see it) He has been training a new hire on how to use the equipment and to irrigate. I would rather he would just quit altogether but it is in his blood so he will still go up there some. Well, I am sure I am going to take a nap soon (involuntary of course because I took hayfever meds) so that is all I have to write about for now.
