Journal: January 9; A great first day of work
January 9, 2006
The first day of work was very enjoyable. I felt fortunate to be able to do carpentry and to work with Roger. I didn’t have to work on buses, do roofing or cut brush; I got to build new gates for the animals’ pens. Part of the experience for kids who attend this camp is to interact with the animals. There are emus, pigs, a donkey, a goat and some chickens. This is such a neat camp. There are 86 acres and just about everything you would expect and much more. There are two go-cart tracks. There’s a track for younger kids and one for the advanced. I hope we get to try it out. I can just imagine SOWER go-cart races.
Working with Roger was a blessing. Not only does he have a nice, easy going, pleasant personality, but he has an impact screw gun. Now I want one. This is a cordless screw gun that looks like any ordinary gun/drill, but it exceeds all others in power. It’s kind of like the impact air wrenches the use in auto mechanics to loosen and tighten lug nuts, etc. Actually, I think it’s the very gun that Anitarae gave me a coupon for as a Christmas present. She had asked Marc, the Habitat supervisor/instructor, for a recommendation of a tool and that was his suggestion. So, e-bay here I come.
After spending a beautiful 76 degree sunny day doing exactly what I like to do, we enjoyed playing games with the gang. It doesn’t get much better than this. Thank you, Lord!

do you have to mention the temperature every post?
I liked the line, "Not only does he have a nice, easy going, pleasant personality, but he has an impact screw gun." It has great timing.
I'm enjoying your records. Isaac Air Freight isn't as funny as I remembered.
