A trip to Carson City and outhouse planning...

Monday morning we got up around 0800!!  I did toss and turn a lot and when that happens I tend to fall back to sleep close to the time we want to get up.  Oh well, then time for coffee and computing.  Gotta see what our blogging friends have been up to right?!  Then breakfast and usual morning stuff. I ran to town and picked up a few things. 
When we got home had the cutest card from our oldest son, Bryan and family.

Love this..

Even has the recipe for biscuits and gravy! 

Ken went outside and used some of our new piping for dumping the trailer from our little trip.  He plans on putting a clean out there so that will make it easier for dumping.  We have one near the house that he put in so now we'll have two!  This one he can drive right up to and the other he would back up and had to have bricks there to make it lean the right way.  

He got ten more feet of pipe in the ground for a total of 50 foot.  

I had salad for lunch and he got another bologna sandwich.  There's enough for 1 more sandwich so he'll have that tomorrow.  Easy afternoon and then leftovers for dinner.  Some television and then bedtime. 

Today, (Tuesday) we set the alarm for 0530.  I got up and started the coffee I made last night.  Well, at least i thought I did, turns out I forgot to put the coffee in, so made it again..

One of our blogger friends "Our Awesome Travels" made some 15 bean soup the other day.  In all my years we've never used those beans, so yesterday while at the grocery store I bought a package. So this morning I rinsed the beans that were soaking all night and threw them in the crockpot.  Got the ham bone going to loosen some of the meat. Added some celery, onions and jalapeño to the mix.  Let the ham cook awhile and then got the meat off and threw the whole thing in the crockpot.  It smells delicious! More of a stew than a soup it looks like. 

Dinner tonight (Thanks George!)

We left here headed for Carson City to make a trip to Walmart and Lowe's.  Beautiful day and cool!  You can tell fall is in the air!  We picked up some more piping for the outhouse and some vent pipe! Yay!  Getting closer.  

1300 hours we ended up at our favorite place in Carson City for Chinese food.  So much I couldn't finish it so we've got more leftovers.  

Once we got home, Ken unloaded the stuff into the garage and then we met out back by the bunkhouse to decide on the size for the outhouse.  Looks like we've settled on 4x6.  4 foot in the front and six foot out to the back.  Should be enough room for a toilet and a sink.  What else do you need right? 

The layout..4ft wide 6 foot long..That piece of wood is
approximately where the toilet would go..

Now to get this done and get on with the evening. Hope your day was wonderful, ours was. 

Sunset last night

Good night...
