 Saturday - late afternoon

Up at 3:55 am - just happened to wake up 5 minutes before the alarm was going to off, out the door at 4:25 am and then? I saw the forecast: Rain at 4:45.  Rushed over there, got the truck fired up, the elog going and then...it started to rain. Light rain, big drops tho.  I got out of there as fast as I could and got lucky: beat the rain and stayed ahead of it all the way up there.  

Once in Gurdon, got everything done and then.....it started to rain just as soon as I left.  I don't like driving in the rain but I have no problem doing it, I don't like getting drenched in the rain even worse. As typical, I was wasted tired because I stayed up too late last night.  We went to a haunted house, a lot of jump scares in that place where you go through houses in tight corridors and they have it down. They will jump out at you out of the shadows and there is no way to see them before it happens. They were picking on the kid, lol, he was terrified. 

Anyway, I slept for a n hour and a half this afternoon and felt better after that.  I still have to work tomorrow, I'm assuming this is because I asked for 2 consecutive days off during the week, but they have not confirmed that I am actually getting that this coming week.  I need to know in advance so i can get a mini ex lined up and I need to get out there in advance and lay out the first 3 or 4 lots, get them flagged and then spray paint where the trench will go.  

 Sunday - evening Brrrr, it's getting cold.  42 degrees with real feel of 39 at this hour of the day? I'd call that winter, at least...
