While George Worked



I did this. It was 60 degrees today. I like this much better than ice falling on our heads.

Tomorrow George will be 62. I am going to buy him a new battery for his red truck for his birthday. It was my red truck and the white one was his until the red one broke. Now the white one is mine and the red one is his. If he gets it fixed, I may trade back.

Helen's brother




The one on the bottom is mine, and the first one is Clayton's. It is really the second one Clayton bought. He went to Meek's Lumber in Berryville and got a generator yesterday morning. When he got home and started it up, it started but did not produce any power. He called Meek's Lumber and they told him to call the 1-800 number. That was only a recording telling him how to start it. Then he got a number for their nearest service center which was in Neosho, MO. There he got an old country boy that said they had probably forgot to connect something on the inside when they made it and yes he could fix it, but if it was him he would take it back where he got it. Clayton took it back to Meeks Lumber. They told him to call the 1-800 number. Clayton called them a few names. While they were discussing this in load tones, Clayton saw several people from work waiting. He told them he hoped they were not there to by generators because they did not work and Meeks would not stand behind their product. Clayton and the Meeks man went outside still arguring. There in the lot was a whole truck load of generators Meeks was wanting to sell to unsuspecting people like Clayton. Meeks said he did not want Clayton to go away mad. Clayton told him he was not mad he was pissed and he was not going away. He was going across the hyway and parking his truck with the generator in the back and he was putting a big sign on the generator saying don't buy one of these, they do not work. Clayton came home with a different, working generator. He is Helen's brother.

Help arrived









He said he was coming down to help clean the yard, but he spent nearly the whole day making donuts.

Clean up day


George got nearly all the broken branches out of the yard. It looks a lot better now and nearly all the snow is gone.
Tyson did not work today afterall. I know that is what the radio said this morning. But, Green Forest still does not have electricity tonight. They are saying they think it will be back on later tonight and Tyson will work tomorrow. Not me.
Patsy has power tonight so I guess she is reading all the news on the net.
