Starting the project for my disker..and of course issues..cooking today..

Yesterday Ken started the project to move or dismantle the frost free water spigot out back.  We are planning on putting my horse drawn disker in the area and the spigot doesn't work.  He got in there and found that there was galvanized steel pipe on about the last 5 foot of piping.  Well, that's no good.  Why they (whoever) put the piping in should have put plastic in and didn't...well they did except the last 5 feet or so..he spent the day digging it up and then having to replace it..which he did!

Trying to find the end of the galvanized pipe...

more sand from digging up two different areas..but found it!


So last night we found that in the bathroom attached to the master bedroom the toilet wouldn't shut off in the tank..probably had steel chips in it from when Ken cut the pipe with the saw..So then he shut it off at the valve supply..today he went to fix it and it wouldn't shut off all the way so he had to use shop vac while he fixed it...uhhhhhh..all good now....

I worked on macaroni salad and Ree's cowboy beans (Pioneer Woman)...today for Adam's birthday party on Saturday.  I think both beans and salad taste better after flavors have a chance to meld.  Tomorrow 7 layer dip.  We'll get up early and head for Georgetown on Saturday, taking the cabover and we'll stay at Bryan's..Sunday we'll go see Grandma even though we'll see her Saturday at the party.  

Ree's cowboy beans...yummy

A big bowl of macaroni salad...taste tester says it's awesome!


Ken was in the garage shredding stuff and found some more treasures!
