So Sunday Mark came and buried Rosie. He didn't make it until the mid afternoon, but that turned out well because the sun came out and every little minute that passed let the ground drain a little more. He brought a bigger toy and it took only an hour.

I had to leave almost as soon as he arrived because I was meeting Ken at a park and ride to pick him up. He was done down state and they were dropping him off closer to home. I dropped him off at the other house and he later met up with Tom at work to work on his vehicle. It sounds promising, they finally got it running. He will do some small stuff on it and thankfully he is in town for a few days so he will take it out and see how it does. Better than running it a hundred miles away and it breaking down again.

After Rosie was taken care of and before Tom left to help Ken, he finished the piping for the stove. It is nice and warm in here this morning. I still have to go out to the barn and get the back heat deterrent plate that goes on the wall.
