first day with big yellow

well i went to work trying to prepare for my biggest presentation to staff of both the organisations I work for trying to convince them that wat I have been employed to do is very important. Come 4.30 it just got too much. I thought I should go home to see how big yellow was.

As I said in my comment to comments there was Brian and Glen fine tuning its running gear. Brian again said goodbye so it was my task to take the 44 gallon drum of water up to the toaster shed. I’d got I’d say 3 metres with no mishap but it was the 4th that threw me. I pulled the lever teh wrong way and teh 44 gallon drum tumbled out of teh loader bucket to teh ground. Glen had gone to open teh gate and Brian had said goodbye so I tried to sneak to the dented drum to put it back on the loader. Unforunately I heard Brian get out of his car laughing and Glen walking back shaking his head. I didnt think it was that funny.

Next lesson was going up the track to the toaster. I got to the flat bit of the track starting to get the feel. I changed up into second gear. With this I surged to 5 km/hr feeling pretty happy until the 44 gall drum decided the pace was a bit much and got off. This time it fell further and was looking pretty dented. Unfortunately Glen was walking directly behind and witnessed the whole thing. He didnt shake his head this time but he did say something under his breath. I think it was something to the effect that if God wanted him to continue to be a prophet he wanted to work with better people otherwise it was going to be counter productive.

I wont go to my final humiliation of running over the tree and go directly to the prophets own misdemeanours. We decided to go up the track to get stone for the floor of the toaster. We took it up over the hill with him driving. We filled it with stones and then he tried to get up the hill unsuccessfully. He backed down the hill with a creative plan B. He attacked the hill again and with som etrouble got back over saying I lost a couple of rocks. he got out of the tractor to see that he had lost all of the rocks. I did wonder why God picks such poor people for his team but also felt a bit better about my own failings.

So score after day 1
Destroyed 44 gall drum
Small shrub looking doubtful
Rock collecting expedition a total failure
Had a hell of a good time
