Today was cold and wet, and it rained inside our house this morning. Inside the tent, we were dry and relatively warm, but Casey jumped out around 5 am to cover things up as best he could. Inn between showers we tried to go through our normal morning routine, making breakfast, etc. The rain stopped before midday and we took the opportunity to set up scaffolding.
We were really happy to find out last night that we could rent the scaffolding at the local True Value, so we quickly shuttled between the two home centers in Alpine, picking up our metal roofing material and the rented scaffolding just before the stores closed. We are beginning to call ourselves the "last minute couple" since we started showing up to stores just before closing.
Our other goals for today were to haul more water in our newly finished transfer tank and to return our friend's generator, but the weather and the load on our truck impeded us. Tomorrow will have to be a busier day than planned to make up for some lost time.
Luckily we were able to get Sprocket to the veterinarian on time yesterday and now we are happy to report that he has completed his inoculation procedure against rattlesnake venom. Of course even though he is inoculated he would still need to be taken to the vet immediately if bitten, but the vaccine greatly improves a dog's chances of surviving.
Continuing my digression from construction details, we are very happy to announce that Casey's oldest sister in California delivered a healthy baby boy this morning. If you're reading this, congratulations proud parents!
