5-26-05 Made it through the week!

It was a long week, even though it was just four days, those 12 hour shifts can seem so long, especially during the slow hours. But that is behind me now. Now I'll just enjoy my time off until I get back to Oregon (about June 15), then begin my job search.
It will be good to get back to my house, the first week I'm always busy cutting back the vegetation that has had all year to accumulate, and cleaning windows, getting rid of the spider webs that have invaded the eaves of the house, and hunting down and destroying the wasps nests around the property, last year I found 4 large nests in the wheel wells of my old Ford van. I did have a run in with wasps last year at Cousin Jim & Sandi's place, I was borrowing their trailer to haul my yard clippings, the trailer had been sitting since last year when I had borrowed it. As I was moving it, I disturbed a nest and was promptly attacked! Got stung on my eyelid, and eyebrow. This year I will look the trailer over carefully.
The summer here in Vegas is starting early, already had four days at 104 degrees! I'm making my escape none too soon.
Stan & Jodi's retaining wall is finally finished, Stan just has to fill in with more dirt, then he will begin with the pool installation, so he has plenty to keep him busy, I'm a little sad I won't be around to help with the work, but it is time for me to move on.
Thanks for checking in, I hope I"m not boring you too much, but I do appreciate your interest in what's happening with me. So till next time, Bob.
