BOI'S DEFENSE

OK, in defense of my actions pertaining to the outhouse dig, first of all it was hot and muggy. I wouldn't have minded helping except most of the time we discuss herself's projects before we (she) jumps in with both feet. As we hadn't gotten to III on a regular schedule this year, my first priority is to keep mowed what we have cleared. It usually takes 4-5 hours of steady mowing just to accomplish this and that's if there are no problems with the equipment, such as having to jump start equipment, fill flat tires, etc. And this does not include mowing the trails, which takes another up to 2 hours if all goes well, such as the belt coming off or getting stuck and having to be towed back by a maniac driving a 4-wheeler. Herself is not aware of the times the belt comes off the mower, and all the sticks, limbs, branches, etc that I have to stop and pick up. And unless it has just rained, I and the equipment are covered with dust and dirt and insects. So, yes, I , when I get done spending hours on the mowers, oh and I forgot, after I do all that mowing, I hook up the trail cutter, fill it with gas, check the oil, etc and go mow with that for an hour or two. So, when done, yeh, i'm ready for a shower and to get cooled off, and drink an ice cold beer. So while yes, my beautiful stubborn wife labored at the outhouse, and I do admire her for that, it wasn't that big a deal. She did her thing, I did mine. That's the way its supposed to be. Both jobs got done, we both survived, and most important of all, we're still talking.
