8:00 am cst . . .
The drive team left this morning for Modesto. Jack, Art, Bob, Helen and Pam are on their way home. They all had smiles as they pulled out and hit the road. I heard folks in the crowd mention more redshirts are leaving. There will be a void on the work crews today, but God continues to provide a healthy stream of volunteers from all over the US. We have met volunteers from Maine to Washington.
Today Rick gets to muck for the first time. I cant wait to see him come covered in mud. Tina is working with Walt the facilty manager today. Last time I saw her she was driving a small tractor with two thumbs up and a big grin on her face.
Today I may load up supplies and take them to churches that were in the path of Rita.
Darren' s truck is still holding together. We have used it to do a multitude of tasks. In Chalmenette, we used it to pull a Dodge truck out of the back yard at a residence. The Dodge had been under eight feet of water and was sporting a lot of muck and straw. I know the Ford smiled as it pulled the Dodge truck out of the yard.(Thanks Darren)
Not many days left of this adventure, time is flying by. Thoughts of home are everyones mind. Keep us in your prayers,
Buddy

Tractor update . . .
Tina progressed from snall tractor driver to back-hoe driver this afternoon. She moved the back down an area with only 6 inches of clearance on eiother side of the bucket. She has a big grin on her face as she is operating heavy machinery. . .
