1st Day Fruit picking!
So today was day #1 on the vineyard... We started out the day by driving to the wrong spot of where to meet our lead hand I guess. Tony told us to go to the 'Big Lizzy' we figured we could figure out what this meant... but didn't. Turns out that the 'Big Lizzy' is some sort of huge car on a railway track... (dad you probably knew that) haha. Anyways, we made it there and the grapes weren't ripe so we had to instead tarp them. It was actually not bad, quite hot but better then I thought it was going to be... hopefully when pay day rolls around we make as much money as we should. What we did was nail the tarps onto these wires... At the end of the day I was getting pretty good at nailing in the tarp. I didn't have gloves today so when I got back I bought a pair for $2.50, found a Giant Tiger type store (Vikki and Homero... you would love it). And mom the Body Shop kit you got me is coming into so much use! I'm so glad I have it. And you will be happy to know I'm eating better, I made a chili yesterday, and it was pretty good! Anyways, I should get going. Gotta get rested up for tomorrow. Talk to you later! :)
