Property Update - the swing

Today we spent the day working at the property.  The goal for today was to get the poles set up for the new swingset we want to build.  We actually got it done even with dad's arm in a cast.

Event #2 Arm

If they claim things happen in 3's I'm not looking forward to Event #3.

Looks like this is event #2 -Once again it looks like my dad has a broken bone. 

He was up working at his property and had a little accident. 

They were pulling down some fallen trees using the wench.  My dad was up hooking the cable around a tree and lost his balance.  He ended up bracing his fall with his left hand and caught a rock.  Basically it snapped the bone at his wrist again.

 

 

This is the split they came up with to brace his arm until he could get to the hospital.

They really braced his arm up good.  This is just his temporary cast until the swelling goes down.

 

 

Update- He does have his cast off now and is slowly getting his wrist back to normal.

 

Sprinkler Fun #1

Event #1

I came home from work to find this mess in my yard.

Evidently there was a leak in one of my sprinkler pipes.

My neighbors came over and helped my dad dig the hole to find the leak on Friday

and then Bryan can and helped repair the leak on Saturday.
