Day 166 was early for the girls, Britt worked at 8:15 so up by 7:30! then Shaina worked at 9 so she got up and even took her to work. This allowed Sheldon to recoupe a bit more since he drew the short straw to take her to work, I enjoyed the lazy morning. 9:30 I was up enjoying the bright sunshine. We both enjoyed a spiniach salad each thinking ours was the best. (Sheldons was a real hodge podge of stuff LOL)
Britt was picked up at 11:30 and back to town house to eat before the venture to the ranch. We headed out at noon to grab water hose,clamps and last piece of outdoor power cable at UFA and unload grass seed and bulbs from the Buick at Target where Shaina was working. Then to Tims for a tea. By now it was 1 and S had more errands to do so I came back to the town house to clean. Sheldon and Britt did errands and picked up Brooke then me and off we went to the ranch.
the fellows were busy putting up the railing
and picked up front door lock and others
Britt and Brooke tacked up Beck and Pepper and off they went for a ride
a shot of a pocket door installed and Sheldon working on installing the waterer.
putting more gravel as per my request so the horses do not puncture their feet on the crazy bars he cemented in
and a bit around the sides
then he adjusted the float
for the first customer, miss KD. I shoveled dirt around the gravel to help it stay and pack in and the top was added, picture to follow tomorrow.
While he worked on this I trimmed 3 horses feet, Baby, Pepper and Bandit. Britt and Brooke took the quad to Olsens for a visit then returned hoping to take both quads, then planned to meet them on horses halfway but instead had Hannah and Carlie come over and ride here.

3 on the greys, Brooke had gone to shut the paddock gate
and off they go
this a a neat photo of the 3 greys synchronized
Carlie had to go soon after so I rode Julio, we went to check up on Sheldon's new project of connecting 25 feet of water cable to the main line he put in to west pasture water tub. then the 3 girls and I went for a nice horseback ride

Sheldon doing project #3 of the day, running another power cable to the septic tank and circle
The girls then voted on which room Britt should pick, winner was WIC room originally Shaina's
baseboards in basement with shadows thanks to Coco and Britt
the finished basement rail. By now it was 5:30 so we loaded up and dropped Hannah off ,where we ended up stopping to visit with the Olsen's and check out their new build progress over a beer while sharing information. At 7:30, the sun was down and a chill in the air and although the beer was tasty we again loaded up the girls and off to town we went. After we dropped Brooke at home, we headed to the townhouse. I jumped in the shower while Sheldon threw the wings in the oven. Once out I heated rice, pasta and veggies to accompany and we all had a rather late supper at 8. Shaina of course was out and about after her day of work. Sheldon watched the hockey game and I blogged and surfed the net. Another successful day at the ranch!
