The Schlorf's Adoption/Missionary Journey: Concrete

Concrete

Boring Car Stuff...

Almost done - today the rim on the trailer broke. Had to weld it back together. By the time I got done messing around with that, I had computer things I wanted/needed to do so...maybe Monday will finish all the concrete stuff. The four-wheeler is not running so good lately - I might work at swapping engines with the four-wheeler that went down the mountain...
