NMSU, Trip To The Farm, Mom's Sick

 We just hung out and watched football on Sunday-all our teams won - yeah!  Monday, we took a tour around NMSU.  I was not a very good tour guide.  There are lots of new buildings since I graduated.  The old Biology building, on the right, was still there.  I spent lots of hours in that building.  Tuesday, I took mom to the doctor - all her tests checked out good and she is doing better on less medication.

 Yesterday, we went to Deming and visited the farm.  Grace had a great time running in the yard with the big dogs.  We also stopped by the winery and stocked up on jugs of wine.  We worried they were going to think we were some serious alcoholics but several folks came in getting as many jugs filled as we did. 

My brother's cotton looked really good.  He got an average of 4.25 bales to the acre on what he has already picked - that is an excellent yield.  Of course, the price is not as good as last year.  

My dad came over to have dinner last night after visiting mom and reported that she is sick.  It looks like she picked up a bug either from the doc's office or from a new patient they admitted - bummer.  I will go visit her today.  Also, the rig sprung a leak.  We have coolant dripping from our generator.  It only happens at night when it gets cold. So, I think a hose clamp or fitting needs to be tightened.  I could do it myself but I can't figure out how to get to where it seems to be coming from, as our huge generator is completely wrapped up in sheet metal.  We have a mobile service scheduled for the Monday after Thanksgiving (soonest he could schedule it) but we might just run it over to the local repair shop down the street. That's all for now - need to get up to see mom.
