neighborly

I helped our neighbors pour concrete for their up and coming chicken operation. They'll raise hens for meat and eggs. Started at 10am. Hard work, been a while since I worked that hard in the hot sun. Felt good. Gald to "prove" myself to some folks I think have underestimated me. I know cement, I enjoy working with it. We made quick work. Forgot the J-bolts til it was almost dry, but we got 'em in in time and all smoothed out. It looks good. I helped, I had something to offer and it felt good. After the cement was done, Diga and Kaika brought down a cooler of beer, homegrown cabbage/chive salad, baked pig and tomatoes.  Sat around with the guys talking story and enjoy the buzz of a few beers. Talkin bout climbing coconut trees, farming on blue rock and making shows about pirates. Gonna get paid in fresh, raw milk and pig meat. I'm so happy this is my life. I wouldn't change a thing.
