| Sunday, August 1, 2004 Church in the morning, then by 2:30 pm, we were heading down to Anchorage w/ the team to see them off. Monday, August 2, 2004 The team went shopping, and I stayed home getting the pictures ready for the team to take with. We primarily were shopping all day, but had time for a bike ride in the afternoon / evening. Wednesday, August 4, 2004 I started home after a short shopping trip, while Brad and Connie came later after looking at another plane. Turned out that they arrived in Glenallen (where we were supposed to meet) about 3 hours late. That gave me some time to drive around and see the visitor's center and take some photos. Thursday, August 5, 2004 Just worked all day. No photos. Friday, August 6, 2004 Time for a shoot in the afternoon. Worked till 6:00, shower, great steak dinner, and headed East at about 9:30 pm. Saturday, August 7, 2004 Sunday, August 8, 2004 Monday, August 9, 2004 Back to work as normal! Saturday, August 14, 2004 Helped Trevor pour about 20 yards of cement at about 7:30 in the morning (for a grain bin). It was supposed to take about an hour, ended up being about 3 :) Was able to spend about 4 hours on the video, formatting Closed Captioning files. About 3:00 or so, went out to help Miles get in some hay. It was a lot of work (as always) but we managed to get what we planned on (worked till about 10:00 or so.) Monday, August 16, 2004 Had supper out on the prarie - and hung around a bit to help out.
There was plenty of people, so it wasn't too bad. Thursday, August 19, 2004 Photoshoot for Patty - a new intern working with GoodSeed in the
US. Saturday, August 21, 2004 Another batch of cement w/ Trevor. This time Andrew wasn't here to help, though the forms were better. All in all it wasn't too bad, except when the cement driver dumped way too much on one side - which left it up to me and Trevor to shovel it all over. Then we put together the first ring of a bin. Thursday, August 26, 2004 Trevor, Sarah and Mitch finished off the tin on the shed. Only
thing left is some trim and the door. Friday, August 27, 2004 Spent pretty much the morning helping Trevor and Esther put the
top on the first bin. I have never done this before- was an interesting
deal. It did go together quite nicely, once you got it figured out,
that is! Also, this is the day I got deserted - Andrew, John, Jim and Leslie took off for Waukesha. Then I drove to Wetaskiwin to spend the weekend up there. I tore apart my truck. Iit was leaking antifreeze pretty bad, out of the intake manifold. So tha thad to come off of course, which I did that evening. Saturday, August 28, 2004 Went and got parts to fix the 'battleship' - what John's father calls the intake manifold. And boy does it look like one! We got it back together, but to find out that the plug for the drain on the radiator was shot. We'll pick one of those up on Monday. Sunday, August 29, 2004 Went to church w' Friesen's, then to the lake for Jody's suprize birthday party. It was a rainy, dreary day, but worked out just fine. On the way home we stopped at Pete Friesen's place, and I re-wired a couple 3-way switches for him. Oh, and now they work. Imagine that.
