An OK day at the circle F, could have been better

I bought about half as much gravel yesterday as it's going to take to fix the drive to my satisfaction. Call that a $145.00 mistake; that's what it's going to cost to rent this thing for another day sometime soon:

We got the drive in a lot better shape than it was but there's still work to be done.

I changed my mind again and decided to put the freeze-proof hydrant out by the barnlot after all but now that I see what a mess we made in the back yard trenching for the water line to it I wonder if I should have scratched my head a little harder. I looked at how the thing is supposed to work -- when you turn it off it drains itself into a gravel bed below the frost line -- and decided I didn't trust it to work right with a hose attached.

Brad and Chad are coming over in the morning to clean up the Terramite and take it back to Ace. I guess when we take it back we'll go ahead and buy the hydrant and at least part of the pipe to hook it up. I really don't have a full days work for them to do but after I've had some sleep I may think of something. For now color this old dog wore out.

Make an old dog feel appreciated?
