Fed the cattle ahead of the predicted rain.

R&R the float valve assembly in the master bath's toilet.

Seasoned up a big pork shoulder (~9 lbs after boning it out) with my Mexican rub for tomorrow.

Rained in the late afternoon, we got 0.60" finally. Weimar (10 miles away) got 5+".

Made the Mexican pulled pork. Also made a batch of ranch rice to go with it. Mrs. Ranch is in charge of the rest of the fixins.
Part of everything will be delivered down the road as the SIL & grandson went to west Texas for the weekend.

Put the arm rests back on the Husky garden tractor's seat so it's ready to go again.

Started the 'beginning-of-the-month' chores.

Watered the stuff in the greenhouse, porch pots & hanging baskets.

Fed the cattle.

Weeded a row in the garden.

Continued with the 'beginning-of-the-month' chores.

Watered the stuff in the greenhouse.

Weeded another row in the garden. Then it started raining (0.73" thus far).

Got another pot of pinto beans seasoned up & soaking for tomorrow.

Still raining here this morning (0.11" thus far).

The HVAC guy came to do the spring maintenance & cleaning of both systems.

Made the pot of pinto beans.

Grandson came to feed the cattle & to pay for his new scope (we watched the pride in his face as he counted it out). I told him to come back to the house when he was done... The look on his face when he saw it made our day (he didn't know I had already bought it)!!! Now he just needs to finish his rifle so he can go hunting (I already have the parts)... Today was definitely worth waking up for!!!
