Mother hen's back

[thebigstick]

.. and then the moar zombies paused for a moment and cheered, as hope for moar was restored.

... five minutes later, the calls of MOAR resumed, but it was a happy five minutes.

I paused and happy danced for six min before cries for moar were resumed.

[EECHAY]

Day 320 (Saturday) – June 15

Why do things always seem to … I don’t even know where to begin to write out my feelings. Yesterday really was busy. Glenn got this really cool idea for building storm shelters and as wonky as it sounded and looked in the beginning it appears to actually work.

Basically you are blowing up a big balloon … think a house sized tent … then you put some rebar framing over the “balloon.” Then you start using the shot-crete equipment where you are blowing the concrete onto the frame. The “balloon” keeps the concrete from falling down. Then you smooth over the exterior of the concrete shell you’ve created. After a couple of days … the concrete shell has to set up and harden … you turn the big blower off that has been keeping the balloon inflated and pull it out through the hole that you left that is going to be your door. You can also have windows, you just need to frame them out.

You can make the structures big or small, we’ve made a small barn sized one and an igloo sized one so far. Naturally the smaller structure was easier to do … certainly easier to smooth out … but the barn sized one wasn’t too bad, just required patience.

And I worked like a crazy woman at it too. Why? Because we haven’t heard from Scott. Actually we heard from them yesterday morning saying that everything was fine and the traveling weather was going to be hot but fair. Then after that … nothing, nada, zilch, zip. It could be for any number of reasons so I’m trying not to panic but this is exactly the sort of thing that I was afraid of. Self-fulfilling prophecy? Don’t know, don’t care … all I know is that it is going on two days and still no word.

In addition to the igloo buildings Glenn designed we’ve had more corn come in. The Hickory King is so tall that not even our tallest men can reach the top of it … about eight feet would be my guess with nice pretty ears of white corn. Glenn meant to talk to me the last couple of days about some fertilizer ideas he has but we’ve been missing each other.

He has to come over tomorrow to check on the drying concrete and to make sure that the crews working on the different aspects of the curtain wall have all the supplies they need for their work next week. He’s enjoying playing contractor or at least most of the time. I noticed he got out and played with the gnomes again to work off some steam. I swear, grown boys and their jokes. I’d love to be in on what is so funny. If I hear one more joke about how Saen and I finally found something shorter than we are my very short temper is going to explode.

Chris made a suggestion that I’d like to look into next season. He wanted to know about growing grain or sweet sorghum. The seed heads would feed the animals, could be ground into flour we could use to stretch what wheat flour we have left or can trade for (that would be a huge bonus), the leaves and stalks would make good silage for all of the animals and if we grow the sweet sorghum variety the canes could be squeezed and the juice boiled down to make sorghum molasses, very similar to what we are hoping to do with the sugar cane. Another bonus is that Chris said that before everything went crazy they had started using sorghum as a replacement for corn in biodiesel processing. Glenn's ears perked up at that idea for sure.

I guess I’ll add that to my multi-page to do list. Right now I’m going to bed and I’m doing something I very rarely do because if I don’t I’m going to be sick, get sick, and Lord only knows what else at this stage. I’m going to take a sleeping pill. Maybe I shouldn’t need one. Maybe I shouldn’t be so weak. But I can’t get rid of this feeling that something is wrong … very, very wrong.

[wyecoyte]

woo hoo another installment.
