The day started with walking the dogs

After walking the dogs, I took a plastic pail and went out in the back pasture to find out why the cows were bellering (bawling).  It turns out that one heifer had been rounded up and sold on Saturday ... and two of them were calling to see if she was lost and would be coming back.  They both came and looked at me up close, twice, but I had no answers for them.

I picked the blackberries and arrived back home in time for breakfast.  The trashcan needed to go out this morning ... even if it was a holiday.  It didn't happen.  We rushed off to to help Pam move.  Made a couple of trips back and forth.  And then she asked us to take a chest over to her mother's place ... two towns over.  We got it there and then had to chat with Pam's mom for awhile.  Stopped for a burger on the way back.  Arrived home to find that the other trashcans had already been emptied and ours was still full sitting at the house.  Darn.

Had to adjust the length of one of the tank support angle-irons to get it to fit on top of the tab ... which is why it had originally been bolted to the bottom (unlike the other 3 which were on top).  Got it to fit.  Put the tanks back in and adjusted them.  It was 2:00 p.m. and I was exhausted from the heat.  Went and stayed in the house for awhile.  Them took the stuff I needed to work on the steps up to the shop and spent the rest of the afternoon watching Orange County Choppers (O.C.C. out of NY)
