Saturday Afternoon

Well I have redone the ramp for the Dodge to make it easier to put up and take down.
The plywood floor was a large hinged piece and a smaller separate piece. I added a second set of hinges so I now have one solid piece when it is unfolded. My neighbor is cutting a third rail (angle iron) to be added to the center as the plywood sags a little now and if I have to walk up it, it does not feel the safest.

I have been slowly cleaning up the shed, which is something that really needs to be finished as it has been about 6 months or more since it was done last time. It was getting to the point that you could not walk down the center isle.

I must get to the store for Betty so I must close for now

Be safe out there and be well.

Love
Bob

Saturday AM

I have had to quit hauling Amish as my age and health have gone to pot. I have put of telling any one as the would worry about how Betty and I are making out. It is tough but we are managing. My big problem is that I get bored so easly that it is hard for me, as I have been so active all my life.

It makes me sad just to write this, I have beendoing the bare minumim for the last 6 months and lied about trips to make everyone think that I was still doing OK.

Be carful out there and be well.

Wednesday evening

I have been fighting to get Betty's blog to work right and have had nothing but trouble with it. Everthing went together on mine so easy and now that I am trying to help her, it turns to crap.

Be safe out there and be Well.

Wednesday afternoon

I am going to try and add the scans of the Amish Reproduction store brochure to this blog.

Tuesday night

I just got back from Lancaster, I am amazed at how the Amish do certain things. Today was a good example, I picked up a women and her teenage daughter, close to home, and cases of canning jars. We drove to Lancaster and picked up a married daughter, then went to the woman’s sister’s house. Where I was told they had a great set up to can applesauce. in half a day they had put up 200 (that’s right two hundred) quarts of applesauce. They still had to hot water bath them when they got home. But to peel, core, and cut enough apples for 200 quarts, and never mind cooking it getting it in the jars, and sealed.

The rest of the day was spent visiting and shopping, and going to a doctor’s for a checkup.

So I learned something new today.

The sister and her husband also have a reproduction store, wooden buckets, wooden butter churns, wooden cheese boxes of all sizes, wooden trash bins, plant stands, candle stands, shelves, corner cupboards. I’ll try and scan their brochure tomorrow and put it in tomorrows blog.

off to bed

Be safe and be well.

Monday evening

Well I survived the Sunday midnight run, I got home at 8:15 AM. They added 4 people from here going to Lancaster Sunday about noon so I actually left home at 10:15 PM.

I am going in to Lancaster again in the morning (only 2 people so far) a 4 AM pick up but it is close to home, 3 miles. It is a round trip thing. I really do not know what time I'll be home.

The Ford has been running great and so has the Dodge. I am going to wait and gas up for the trio in the morning as I did lay down for about an hour and a half I am getting tiered about now so this might not start to make sense. So I had better close before I make a complete fool of myself.

Be carful and be well.

Love Bob
