Waiting waiting waiting
Bob and Dave are looking for the concrete pour! This is the ramp.Victory Ranch
We had some big excitement this week~~the cement truck came so the guys could pour the new sidewalks! Paul and Bill have been putting up forms for some walks around the new rec building, as well as a handicap ramp, and everyone has been waiting for the cement pour and the weather, to work together. I’ll include some pictures of the truck. We watched for a while, but had a fence that really needed to be finished oiling. (It’s supposed to rain again this weekend~~drag out the FLOOD signs!)
On Friday we went to Victorville (65 miles north of us) to meet with teams on an RVICS project at east of Barstow. Bea and Barney are on that project, so it was fun to see them again, and although the other couples were new to us, by the time we left them, we were hoping for a time when we get to work with one or all of the couples. It was suggested that both groups have a short talent program for meeting, but we fussed about it for so long on this end that Wanda contacted Bea to see if we could skip the talent show
part! I'm not sure if we're talent-challenged, or if we're all just lazy, but we had a great time without it!
Before we had lunch, we toured a glass factory….I’m talking glass sheets, which are sold for windows. We watched the transformation of sand, heated and poured and turned into a single strip of glass ten feet wide, and a quarter of a mile long, before they finally cut it into smaller sheets. Fascinating... And I put that on my list of jobs that I don't ever want!
