Dave has been on one of his weeks off and we have been having way too much fun. For the first half we were childless so we just camped out on the land and enjoyed the benefits of our hard work. It was blistering hot the first couple days so one evening (Thursday?) at around 6:45pm Dave got a bright idea that we should get a water pump to water the pastures. We called Princess Auto in Lloydminster and they said they had them on sale! But they closed at 9pm. For some reason we decided to just jump in the car and GO. We made a 'hot shot' trip straight to Lloyd and back. We almost blew it because Dave thought we could get oil on the way home. He was leaving Lloyd and I reminded him that it was almost after 10pm and we would be only going through small towns. NOTHING is open after 9 in a small town and you would be lucky to find a store open that late.
We got it all running first thing in the morning and Dave decided we needed more parts. I think we made at least 2 trips into the local hardware store to get more stuff for it. We ended up with an actual usable irrigation system with hoses coming off everywhere. I think we can now water 275 feet out. But I could be wrong on that. It's sure fun on a hot day!
