A Short But Productive Visit

Brooks drove up yesterday to pick up a golf ball net to protect the front of a customer's house as well as to work on our fence. He brought dinner with him, some beautiful sea scallops, mussels and clams. He did the scallops in a delicious citrus sauce and served them just the way I like them, barely cooked with a little cracked salt and pepper! The mussels and clams he did in a curry sauce and they too were delicious. Brooks is an excellent cook and could work as a chef!

This morning Norma's lawn guy arrived at nine sharp and the two of them started measuring, digging and hauling the remaining two old fence panels into place. They set the posts and cemented them in. He put the panels on the only two sections of fairly level ground and filled the gaps between them with wire deer fence. Eventually he will fill the gaps with custom built fence panels designed to go up steep slopes. In the meantime the deer fence will keep the wildlife at bay.

He also brought a very nice gift from him and LindaLee, an Apple TV box so we can watch Netflix. I know very little about this technology but got a short lesson from Brooks. The box will go south with us for use when and where we have WIFI in a park, it uses too much bandwidth to use on our Internet sticks, specially in Mexico where we have a hard limit of 3 GB per month. A full movie evidently uses about one GB.

Anyway, Thank you very much Brooks for the visit, dinner, the Apple TV Box and all the work on the fence! We are very lucky!

Here are the two panels and the new shed. The pile of rocks is riprap placed after the landslide. It will become Norma's new rock garden.

Brooks and Beau hard at work!

Gourmet quality scallops

And seafood!
