More Honey-Do Projects

Dave took a vacation/honey-do day yesterday. With the help of our 91 yr old neighbor, the hot tub was unloaded from the trailer. The tub is small and relatively light but we needed a third person to help figure out how to best get it off the trailer without busting the tub or our backs. Bud is a great problem solver when it comes to maneuvering heavy things. A couple of straps; the tractor bucket; a bit of pushing and the tub was on the ground in one piece.

the dogs helped Dave with the mechanical set-up

While the water was warming up, we took the dogs and rig 30 miles south to the old Weyerhauser road. Dave was a great sport in going on this adventure but he did not get pictures of our run as he followed us in the van. A word picture will have to do: sunlight, filtered through fall colored trees, fell on duff covered pavement as the dogs silently ran beside a deep blue lake.

After we got back, I took the dogs tracking. Lesson learned: do not set a track for Willy on a downhill slope. He inhaled his treats as drug me along at a rig running pace.
