March 26,27 2022 A weekend of deer lease and volleyball

 Saturday morning Kevin and I headed up to the deer lease. We are extending our little camp shed. I had shopped lumber prices at Lowes, The Red Barn, Potez and Mccoys , good lord prices are out the roof. We ran into Livingston and picked up lumber, screws and paint. The little bit of lumber was $200.00 alone. This just for the frame of a 16 x 8 extension. Luckily we already have the tin for the roof. We got the frame up and then decided we needed to move the pipe heater. Would have been easier to do that first but managed to get tractor in place to lift it up and move it. I came home that evening but Kevin spent the night along with Kyle who came up later.  On Sunday they put the tin on. We are going to close part of it in but not untill we can reclaim some wood. Osb and plywood is crazy high.  Kevin also did a little dirt work and smoothed out the front of the camp area.   On Sunday Susan and I went to watch volley ball with Sammi. It was their last tournament of the Houston Power League pool play. We played our best game of the year in the first game which we won. Then we played our worst game of the year which we lost.  Their are 57 12 year old teams in the HPL.  I think we finished about 28 in the ranking , so we did okay but underachieved  at times.
