One Tough Day...

Left the house this morning at 7:30 a.m. for another meeting at the kids new school. Back home at 10:15 long enough to change clothes and head out to pick up the compressor and move it to the new drilling location. The compressor was an hour up in the mountains and after picking it up, coming back down the mountain and returning to San Pedro, we headed for another 3 hour climb into the mountains to San Luis de Santa Barbara where we would be drilling for a hospital. One problem...much rain had made ground deceivingly soft and when we pulled the compressor toward the drill site, it and the truck sank to hubs!

After spending the entire day pulling, digging, pulling w/2 truck, and winching until the cable broke and the winch overheated...the truck and the compressor are still stuck. We just got back from the mountain in a borrowed vehicle and we're all dead to this world. If that were spiritual it would be a good thing, but it's just plain exhausted!
