Gustavo

Friday, August 11, 2023

After standing me up a couple weeks ago, Gustavo, a skilled laborer, called yesterday wanting to work for me. He survived my scolding over his not showing up or even calling by explaining that his cell phone had been on the blink. Sure, I believe that–and I also know he can handle almost everything related to property and home.

The header photo is of Gustavo several weeks ago working at my home.

He’ll be here early today to repair the scattered broken fence posts around the horse area. I’ve attempted alone to accomplish thost repairs, but my progress is slow because of too little time and energy for the work.

The broken posts are caused by my horses leaning into the fencing fabric and scratching their behinds against it. Seeing that happening makes me crazy, but horses are what they are. I will stop that behavior by having Gustavo install a solar charger and re-hotwire the fence.

Today will begin, at first, by seeing him show up. Since Gustavo initiated this, he probably will; but experience teaches, so who knows?

Dear Friends: Today might offer up better ways to repair broken posts. Diana
