Well, here I am at Lazy *** Ranch and I'm eating breakfast before daylight. Mike and Bernice have the best kind of Heaven, homemade.

We are off to get more steel in a little bit and then the plan gets to come together. I mean what kind of Lazy *** Ranch would it be without as automatic gate operator? Not Bernice's kind for sure, Mike's either I'll bet.

Brandi, your expectations can't be too high when it comes to Jim.

Harv,
Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath.
hugs, Brandi

Mike called this morning to ask about some decorative expanded metal I told him the wrong place. It was not bought in La Grange it was bought in Houston 10 years ago. So that bit of info had them running in the wrong direction this morning. However I made it up by helping them this afternoon. I was supervising the post holes for slide rails on the side. We only had to reposition 50% of the holes. I had to leave (missing out on the evening fun) but I think they will get more done now, but they may not post any pics till dark.

With any luck they will have the poles set and the rails painted so we can get to the good part tomorrow - The Slide Gate.

Dogs are never gone but remain a part of our fabric forever.

For those who forgot, here's the Twilight Zone clip about a dog trying to get into heaven.
Spoiler alert...He makes it.

These are some before photos of the entryway. Mike and Don poured the concrete for the gate earlier in the week.

We've started the gate. It's a hybrid, Mike's design, my techniques.
