I took this morning off from working on the trailer,I needed to take my dogs to the vet for there shots.
We have a crew two Yorky and 100 lb black lab Catfish Charlie and Moochy are the two yorkys and Magoo is the black lab.
The names fit the dogs and there personality.
Loaded them all up in the jeep and here we go ,unloaded the yorky first got there shots and heart worm medicine, unloaded Magoo and as we were walking up to the front of the vets office he had something he wanted to look at and off he went ,he caught me of guard and i hung the heel of my boot ,figure ya'll see what is coming, was not the best place to take a tumble ,there were pipes sticking up about two foot for a border around the building.
as I fell I managed to roll to one side and miss the pipes but couldn't break my fall THUDDDD
After looking around to see if any one saw me making the crash landing and Magoo coming back to lick me I got up and went on in the office and got Magoo fixed up.
395.00 dollars lighter I walked out loaded up and headed home , I got to thinking that cost more than all the supplies to build the box on the Tepee
Dang tear drops are cheap.
Well tonight I am finding all the sore spots and am sort of stove up . I just don't bounce as good as I use to .
Tomorrow back on the trailer.
Ron
Thanks and now if I can figure out how to re size a pic correctly I will post an Avator

You didn't have to go to college for 8 years to learn how to build a teardrop, did you? :lol:

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

I am glad I covered my wood and put the saturation coat on the tepee, started raining heavy last night and its still at it. I hope it shuts me down for a few days we sure need the moisture.
