The Fun Begins


So, now the fun starts. Had 2 meetings since being approved for the board. Had 5 phone calls from irate board members. Had 1 big blow up at the president of the board for gossiping, and the hits just keep on coming. We have been researching the legal status of the district. Found no records of filings with the IRS but we have and EIN (employer id number) and no "employees". All new paperwork to file with the state for "nonprofit utility" and the trailer that houses the office is a disaster. Nothing is in any sense of order. Estimates coming for new electrical panel, while Richard tries to keep the pumps running the s--t flowing with old and new tech running together in the panel. So he is juggling the appts and fixes. Our saving grace is being able to work out each morning. Great way to work off stress and frustration.
Had a nice visit with everyone on Friday. Will post photo of face plate with the additions on it as soon as we get one.
Still thinking positive for "the boy" and his Mama. Never any rest the moms.

Mom's can


I was not kidding about putting Mom in a plastic coffee can, it's perfect! Probably considered tacky in some circles, but Mom being from the sand hills of Colorado where a person used what they had to make do. She would get a hoot out of this. Don't forget Dad liked his coffee too.

FLOOD!

We used to ride our motorcycles down in there to see the river. Easier from the road now as the river has come to us.
This was taken from our front yard. Looks like a funnel cloud.

Water is just a few inches from the bottom of the Letha bridge.


This the pasture the owner was getting ready to mow for hay. Now they have to replace fences and hope the grass comes back quickly.

This is just a small sample of what is happening. More water expected from upstream, as the clouds are going north and dumping on McCall area and filling the dams and rivers with all sorts of junk. Trees, mud, rocks, trash. If you get a chance, check out Gem County Facebook page.
Later ya'll.

Mom's Muligan

Just got home from Potters and the date is the 18th of June at 11:oo am at the niche where Dad is. No ceremony just a short get together and we are done. How about lunch after things are all done, I vote we invade Gale's for a BBQ . Now if you can't make it, don't feel bad no ones going to hold your toes to the fire. Royce if you can't make it there is always UPS. ;) We need to decide on what to put on the cover under Dad's info , keeping in mind there is not much room.
