Turkey trotter 2010

This past thanksgiving I returned to a race that I ran in last year on thanksgiving day. I think I ran a worse time then last year, and worse than the uc clermont 5k a month ago. I have been unable as of now to find an official results page, but I do believe my time was 27:56. I didn't feel really well the whole race. I had to stop a couple of times to walk. I didn't run as much as I could have during the week to prepare myself. I wasn't even able to get a race day T-shirt to wear around like a badge of honor. The lady that took my money said they would mail me the two I ordered.

I am also seeming to aggravate my grandpa more than usual nowadays. I got into two arguements with him today. The first was because I wanted to put a tarp on the trailer so that my dad could more easily unroll it when he decided the time was right. The tarp was up on a balcony in our barn and grandpa refused to let me go to get it. So when I agreeed with him that we would do what he wanted to do, and quickly conceded to doing what he wanted to do, he got angry at that also. Then later in the day he got mad because I had set out to much tobacco near the end of the work day. When everyone had left after we had gotten everything done, about 5 minutes after quitting time, I got to be chastised again. Apparently it is impossible to let people leave at the hour mark when they want to leave when there is tobacco on the bench. The way he wants to do things, no one leaves until the bench is empty. I had in my mind, that we needed enough on the table to work and not let them leave early. What is the use of paying a person for a full hour and letting them leave ten minutes early so the bench would be empty when it needed be? The real issue is that I have to ask him all sorts of questions to try and get into his mind because we cannot figure each other out by observations.

I had some other topic in my mind today stripping tobacco, but it has now escaped me.
