| Getting ready to leave from Denver |
My mother asked me to come up and do some landscaping in Pinedale last year and I was able to get off work recently to do it. On Monday, I loaded up tools in Denver like circular saws, drills, a bunch of hand tools, and my Thomas 25g mini skid steer affectionately called TomTom. I drove 8 hours from Denver to Pinedale.

| Getting ready to unload the pergola lumber |
On Tuesday, Mom and I put together a lumber manifest from some schematics that my brother Michael wrote down for a Pergola. We went down to Pinedale Lumber and picked everything up, but I had forgotten a ratchet strap to secure the load. Instead I had to use a tow strap with a hitch tied in it. We drove pretty slowly back from the yard and I was watching the 14 foot 2x6s anxiously from the cab.
The building site is on the East side of the house and there was a beautiful view of the Wind River Mountain Range with Fremont Peak prominent in the background as I was working. I used TomTom to transport the six prepoured concrete post footers to the work site. I got all of the footers laid out and set and I got 4 posts up and leveled, but then it was dinner time. I will be back at it later today!
