We had a relaxing


We had a relaxing Saturday. I made waffles for Taylor and Ben this morning. About 11 AM took a two hour nap. That was so nice, and so out a character for me. Of course since we didn't go to bed until after 1 AM because we watched a movie I was very tired.

I'm thinking of building a go-kart for the boys. I went over to the Burk's house this afternoon to take a look at theirs. We'll put something together that's simple, and small enough for both boys to be able to drive. Mateo, an Ecuadorian mechanic for MAF, is going to sell me a 5 HP engine. I guess it's time to learn to weld, and I think Sandy will be willing to teach me.

About 4 PM Harrison called and wanted to go to the river. I had been thinking all afternoon how hot it was, so I didn't hesitate to say yes. Joel came, as well as Dustin. It was a small group as far as river trips go, but we all enjoyed the cold water.
