May, 2000

We drove down to Austin, about 70 miles, to pick up five 4 foot bundles of bubble wrap for use in our egg shipments. Each bundle contains two 24 inch rolls.	We got some WEIRD looks driving up Interstate 35.
We crammed three big rolls in the rear of Justine's blazer. It was pouring down rain hard at the time and I got soaked tying the last two bundles on the roof rack.	The rolls were crammed in the back so tight, it was pushing our seats forward and we had to drive all the way back in stop and go Austin rush hour traffic all hunched over.
This is our original barn that I built in 1971. Justine pulled down most of the mesquite trees in our pasture with a 20 foot chain tied to the back of her Blazer in 4 WD, but left a few for shade for our birds.	Bill Holley's pasture adjoining ours. His cattle come up sometimes to exchange gossip with our range chickens, and ducks or just to watch us while we're working.
Our new barn with the old barn behind it.	The electric company had to set two poles and a transformer to get electricity to our new barn.
