Today was one of those days on the farm. There was a lot going on and I was the only one on campus to answer questions. Jerry works only two hours on Tuesdays so that he has hours left for the weekend. We had two bad finger piers that had rusted loose and were a trip hazard and he said it was a two man job to fix them. He came by in the cart and picked me up before 8 and we worked on them and it was not too bad. We used a 4x4 for a prybar to lift the pier. My 230 pounds sitting on one end lifted the pier with no problem while Jerry drove in some lag bolts to repair them. Just as Jerry was leaving, D&C showed up to work on the gates. They said they needed the electrical  hooked up to test the gates. Penny was busy with Phase II work all day so I called the electrician who installed our latest pier lights. I think I woke him up, but he came right out and got to work. It was about a three hour job.

The gates were tested and all seemed well, but then they found something amiss. In the picture above you can see a worker laying beside the fence to do some welding. When I went back out later, they had shut the gates down until tomorrow.
