Friday, March 28, 2025 – Mounting Blocks Installed

Hi Darlin',
Got up with the alarm, got everything done and headed over to Chelle's to pick her up at 8:30. We had made arrangements to meet the Ace Hardware driver, Ryan, at Buck Island at 9:30, but it gave us time to run by Helen's and pick up her recycling and drop it off at Apex, and also to discuss where to put the mounting block at Apex. We arrived at 9:15, and Ryan was already there! Apparently he came quite early to sit on the dock and have a cup of coffee, can't say I blame him, it's a lovely spot. Chelle and I discussed placement, and Ryan was a whiz at getting down the forklift and putting the block in place. We then proceeded to head to all the rest of the trailheads, repeating the process. It went very smoothly and we were done by noon. We stopped at Winn Dixie on the way back to camp so I could pick up a few things, then back to camp to drop them off, then off to lunch at Willards. I thought Helen would join us, but she begged off at the last minute. Dropped Chelle off and headed home, though by now my knee was in pretty bad shape again, and I was using crutches on our last stop, just to help out a bit. It didn't feel bad this morning, but I guess the walking around today, though it wasn't much, was enough to set it off. Relaxed the rest of the day, resting my knee. I did get a call from the surgeon's office, and the earliest he can see me is May 1! So I'm definitely stuck here for awhile. Thank goodness I have permission to overstay my contract here at the forest. Anyway, a productive day, albeit a bit painful one, I'm thinking about seeing if I can get a volunteer to ride my horses while I'm laid up, I hate to see them languishing while I'm resting. Finished Atlantis, and was disappointed it ended after two seasons, it really turned out to be a good show, though I wasn't sure about it at first. Started a mini-series with Pierce Brosnan, only have a few days before it leaves Prime, so I guess I'll be bingeing that over the weekend. Good night, babe! Love you!
