Hit the ground running today.  Cattle not too cooperative since it seemed like it might rain so they were not up to their usual routine this morning.  Easy enough to entice them all in to the pens with some range cubes once we discovered their hideyhole.
Meanwhile, the gray water pipe from the wash house & my shower was crushed & needed to be dug up, cut off & a new pipe attached.  Added bonus was a flat on the Kubota.  I plugged the hole in the tire & we were back in business.
Managed to get all the front Brahman herd in the pens & start getting those big babies off their mommies.  Poor ladies & babies are still up there bawling their brains out.  Some are already sounding hoarse from all their hollering.
After a bit of lunch, WB & I dragged a long water line from out back to be used in place of the rigid drain pipe.  Now to find a coupling that will join the two different pipes together - not as simple as one might think.
A quick trip in to town & keeping up with RSVPs for WBs birthday party has been the rest of my day.  Am totally tired & amazed that it is only 8pm!!  Must stay awake for at least another hour before allowing myself to crawl in the bed.
Tomorrow should be an easy day.  We are, hopefully, going to go pick up my 4-wheeler!!  Will have to post pix.
