I couldn't sleep after 3am. I have a feeling I'm going to be taking several naps today.
James left before 4am for the valley. They are pouring concrete on the Hatch Dental remodel job at 5am. On his way through Salt River Canyon he got a call from Armando telling him that the concrete wasn't pumpable. James's heart sank. He failed to tell the concrete company that the concrete was to be pumped and evidentally the pumping company didn't call them either. James said a prayer and by the time he got to Tempe it seemed that the problem had been solved by the concrete company. (James got a call on Monday saying they couldn't place the first order of concrete that they replaced with pumpable concrete, so James was going to have to pay for both loads. The extra charge is $2,300.)
Greg Hatch is the owner of Hatch Dental and was at the pour and knew about the problem but didn't care because everything turned out okay. (He doesn't know that James had to pay for both loads).
James got home from the valley at 1:45 and laid down for a nap. Tom and I joined him. When James got up he asked me to go to tow with him to get some diesel. He thought he had taken the can with him to the valley but it laid at the end of the driveway until he returned home.
We tried Stanford which is about 13 miles away instead of 20 but they were out of diesel, so we drove in to the Speedway at the top of the hill going into Show Low across from the Maverick. No other stops were made, no food or fluff, just diesel and back home.
James let Apollo out of the stable. He had been in there since last night. I fed he and Luna this morning and refused to let him out. I told James if he was gone that Apollo had to be penned up. He let both horses out tonight. I warned him that Apollo would trample the lawn, which he did.
We are both reading "The Nobleman's Daughter" but I am about five chapters ahead of James.
Tom loves his "treats." He gets one a day at night.
Notes & Quotes
"President Russell M. Nelson has taught us to seek and expect miracles. I testify that because the priesthood has been restored, the power and authority of God are upon the earth. Through callings and councils, men and women, young and old, can participate in priesthood work. It is a work of miracles, attended by angels. It is the work of heaven, and it blesses all God's children."
- Elder Shayne M. Bowen
'Miracles, Angels, And Priesthood Power'
"Before you were born, God appointed each of you to fulfill specific missions during your mortal life upon the earth. If you remain worthy, the blessings of that premortal decree will enable you to have all kinds of opportunities in this life, including opportunities to serve in the Church and to participate in the most important work happening on the earth today: the gathering of Israel. Those premortal promises and blessings are called your foreordination. 'The doctrine of foreordination applies to all members of the Church."
- Elder Steven R. Bangerter
