Day 27

We're home.  The drive over wasn't bad, it's only 70 miles.

When we got home the place was overgrown.  I kind of expected it would be.  I had to weed eat the parking area before we could park the trailer.  I got ambitious and cleared the entire area as well as all of the rocks surrounding it.  I also did the entryway sidewalk.  There's several days worth of lawn mowing and weed eating left to do.

The pump didn't work when we got home.  I immediately called someone.  They were out in a couple of hours.  We got lucky.  It turns out that there are a couple of circuit breakers mounted on the well head box.  They had tripped.  Sooner or later we'll need a new pump.  I hope later.

Before parking the traile I decided to cut off a branch from a dead tree that overhangs the spot.  Ellen helped cut, but she was only about halfway through when I was ready.  So I got the ladder and a handsaw and climbed up to finish the job.  Big mistake.  When the branch went, it knocked me off the ladder.  I fell flat on my back.  I'm lucky I didn't hit a rock and cut the back of my head.  I did bang up my left arm and hand.  I either broke or severely smashed the little finger on my left hand.  It hurts.

Parking the trailer went pretty well.  I didn't get it quite as close to the rocks as I would have liked.  On the plus side I didn't have to move any rocks.

After a quick lunch I started moving stuff from the trailer.  I was tired when I started, and more tired by the time I finished.  I still have to move the stuff in the cabinets and the basement.  I just ran out of steam and went in and took a nap.

When I woke up it was time for dinner.  The Hyundai started right up, but it had a thick layer of dust on it.  We had to clean the windows before we could drive off.  We went to Cheddars.  I missed that place.  On the way back a warning light went on in the Hyundai.  When we got home I restrted the car and it was off.  We'll just have to see what happens.
