[tcb] Bad weekend in S Texas/ house report

Wow, it sounds like a bad weekend in S Texas with The Zone having a heart 
attack and the Dirksen's nerve damage. I can't tell if Mark had trouble, hard 
to glean all the news from the dispatches. It also sounds like Dan and Kat have 
continued their positions as the Padre and Madre of TCB. Fixing us, saving us, 
helping us to our feet.

Chuck and I completed the negotiations on the new bus here. Let's just say that 
the fireworks at Psycoblooie will be beyond last year if Chuck follows through 
on his promises.

The house building is moving along. At times it seems like it is advancing 
quickly and then, when you look at what remains to be done, it looks like it 
never will be finished. The roof is on, the electrical is almost finished, the 
fireplace is in, The insulation is more than halfway installed. One big window 
came cracked and had to be sent back to Georgia. I am getting good at building 
the grand (8'x6') double doors. I finished one and will probably use it 
elsewhere, because I can build a better one more quickly now that I know how. 
The flooring all arrived Friday. Ash to match the existing floors and Hickory 
for the stairs and steps inside. The landscaping is looking closer to finish. 
We will have a gigantic all natural stone staircase from the South side deck to 
the ground. I have given permission to continue it until I can see a reason to 
stop. It will be massive.

Oh, and I am, apparently rebuilding the kitchen. The house tells me what it 
wants.

I could go on, but it would be the longest letter ever and still wouldn't cover 
everything.

See you all here June 30.
