Tuesday, March 24th, 2026: James needs horse feed - trip to town - Panda Express, Gas roulette, Michael wants to come to the potluck to say goodbye to Darrel & Trina

 

Santiago, Chile
Temple #24


Tom was sick to his stomach last night, luckily on his blanket.

James came into the bedroom this morning around 7, the time he is usually out feeding the horses. He said he ran out of horse feed and totally forgot when we were in town yesterday. Since the horses are hungry and used to being fed in the morning, off we went to town to get horse feed.

After picking up horse feed we went to Taco Bell to have a taco for breakfast. I like their chicken cantina soft tacos. We also got some gas. We played the gas roulette game and lost. The lowest price was at the small Speedway as we came into town, but we passed it up. We went to Sinclair and paid six cents a gallon more. It's a little game we play.

James and I were both out of sorts today and as a result we did not get along very well. Really, our behavior is unacceptable for two people who claim to be disciples of Jesus Christ. I am ashamed for both of us. 

James took the skidsteer out to knock down trees for the surveyor who is coming tomorrow. In the process he got a flat tire and had to go into town to get it fixed. He asked me to go with him but I declined. When he returned and got the skidsteer going again he bent something on it knocking down trees and had to stop. James knows I hate it when he knocks down trees and also when he starts one job before finishing another. This was part of our understanding today. I couldn't understand why he would need to knock down trees for the surveyor if the surveyor had not asked him to.

Oh yes, James did do something thoughtful for me today. When he came home from town he brought me a salad from Culver's. I was most grateful.

James got a text from Michael this evening. He just found out that Darrel & Trina are moving and he wants to come with his girlfriend, April, to the potluck on Saturday. He and his work buddies won't be coming to the cabin.
