Friday, Dec. 17, 2021 – Final Check on Trails, Riders Dinner and Meeting

Hey Darlin’,
Another busy day here at Goethe! I did my chores, then cleaned out the water trough first thing, which is a tougher job than you might think because it’s screwed into posts so you can’t tip it up, and the screws are stripped so you can’t take them out, so it was a matter of siphoning off as much algae-infested water as you can, then scooping the rest out with a strainer, then sponging the rest out, a yucky job, but at least it’s done. Had a quick breakfast, then DeDe arrived and it wasn’t long before we were off. We ran all of the trails today, adding a few markers and some signs in a few spots to make things even MORE clear, and had a chance to see the work that Kelsey and Alex had done, which was very good, with just a couple of additions on a couple of their left turns. Got back to camp at around 4:00, took down my laundry at last, then relaxed for half an hour before doing my evening chores, then driving over to Helen’s for dinner and the ride meeting. Not surprisingly, I’m exhausted again, but it’s going to be an early night to complement the very early morning tomorrow, so I’m off for my shower and bed! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
