Rain and Pods

Today feels rather long, but I suppose it wasn't really. We left here at 8, got to Luling around 9 and were ready to work about 9:30. We got 9 pods taken down. It was a little more difficult than Friday because 1) we had less people and 2) whoever put the pods up riveted everything. Also, they attached the stands for the duct work to the base of the pods. So these pods took a lot longer to take apart. We had a lunch break around 1:30 and quit for the day about 3. So we got a good 6 hours in despite the rain. It drizzled on us some after lunch, but it didn't pour until we were on the road. So that was good timing. There were two older gentlemen (I'm pretty sure their names are Sam and Dennis) from the church there that helped us.

It took us quite a while to get home because there were two wrecks. One of them was really bad. A big semi type truck rolled over. When we got back I took a shower in the shower trailer. The light wasn't working, but I left the door open and I could see fine and the water was nice and warm. I found out later the light does work, but you have to pull the switch inside, not the one right by the door. Oh well.

Kyra and Wilf just ran to the store to pick up frozen pizzas for us to throw in the oven for dinner. Kyra is awesome. She's a kid at heart. She told me she's a therapist mostly for the kids (teenagers) that others have given up on and they love her because she's like them. Most of them have told her they'll quit seeing her when she grows up.
