7/26/2020 – Door latch and cinnamon rolls.

7/26/2020

(Above: Dawn of 7/26/2020.)

Summary: Today began with calisthenics, a beef pasture check with Padre, and a return to Jacobhouse where I neatened the place up a tad before commencing with the morning writing. Outlining lasted for approximately 2 ¾ hours until 11:20 AM which is when I tended to a little bit of Master Blend book keeping and website maintenance. At 11:40 AM, I cooked a large cubed round steak and cut up a couple peaches for lunch. The midday meal occurred at noon (picture in second slideshow).

(5:52 PM Update:) Afternoon activities began with about two hours of leisure followed by my venturing outdoors to help with farm-related shenanigans, including: feeding the same (genetically) crippled Brahman mother-cow as yesterday, catching a calf for treatment, and checking the barn for more ailing creatures. I next set about installing a latch on the Master Blend Freezer Room door*. This consisted of utilizing a piece of PVC trim-board as a spacer, rivets to fasten that spacer to the door, and more rivets to fasten the latch to the spacer [pictured below]. I next reversed the handle from outside to inside both as a means of being able to easily close the door from within and to prevent customers from accidentally pulling the door free of the latch and its four rivets.

Final Note: All that remains to the evening is a beef pasture check, dinner (watermelon, baked potato, & a cinnamon roll), and leisure.

*It was held closed by a magnet, so we sometimes had trouble with it popping open when the back door to the freezer room / office building was closed.
