Bob and I muscled the new heater out of the back of his truck. Dayum it was big; at least three feet in diameter and five feet high, in an open wooden...crate. He told me, "One hundred gallons. Not much price difference between it and the lower-capacity ones."He had a metal enclosure to go around it as well as some external thermal blankets to wrap around both. He told me, "Efficiency is the name of the game."We set up the enclosure first, fitting it then setting it aside. Bob had a big dolly for. That trunk bent easily so the beads were dangling in easy reach. The band director stood there holding the trunk bent, while half a dozen chaperones were grabbing and jerking the beads from the trees. Some of them came out intact, some broke, scattering the beads everywhere. Of course, there we were looking like three types of monkeys hanging from the trees as several dozen local folks walked cautiously around us. Further down the street, another chaperone found a 12 foot long 2×4 and worked. " Well, normally I'd at least consult with my wives, but they're all a bit worse for wear from our 'honeymoon' and so I won't be depriving them of attention if I help you two out. And they told me right from the start that they expected me to form relationships with the rest of you, even to the point of marrying some of you, so I'm certain my fathering of children by you will be agreeable as well."Assuming we succeed in our quest, I do want to be involved in the children's lives, but with four. I kept myself composed and held them until they felt better. Then when they didn’t leave I kept holding them. I brought up the idea of Isabella having a party for her birthday; every senior should have a party. They all agreed just as we pulled up the gravel drive way of the house. I large group of servants were waiting at the door to greet the girls and say hi. We walked in and I gave them a general tour of the house and then we finally went up to see their rooms. I had put my two favorites.
