Friday, Nov. 19, 2021 – Hay Day and Puttering

Hey Babe,
It was raining when I went to bed, so the earplugs went in, but then I woke up around 5:00, and looked out the window at the longest lunar eclipse since Feb. 18, 1440! Can you imagine, fifty two years before Columbus discovered America, a hundred and twenty-four years before Shakespeare and Galileo were born! It was a bit cloudy, but it cleared up just enough for me to see the crescent starting to appear on the waning side. Remarkable! There won’t be another one like it until Feb. 8, 2669, imagine what the world will be like by then! I was lucky to even see that for a few minutes with all the clouds! Went back to sleep, woke up with the alarm because I had made arrangements to pick up some hay at 8:30 just 15 minutes up the road. Turned out to be really nice hay, too, Tifton 44, heavy and well packed, for just $8 a bale! Bought one for my neighbor, she was impressed with the quality, too. When I got back, I spent some time researching this ice-maker tubing thing to see if there’s something I’m missing in the repair, but eventually I just got to it, and put it back together again. I hope I’ve finally got it right, I sure don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night with a flood! I’m going to turn the pump off, just in case. Then I started getting involved with doing some work on the OTL mailing list, but the whole thing is being stymied by the fact they STILL don’t have a website up and running, so it’s hard to communicate with folks when I can’t send them anyplace for information. Working on it, though! Put a notice out on my Facebook page and the OTL page and have gotten some response already. I had hoped to ride today, but got so involved the time slipped by, so I’m vowing to take a long ride tomorrow to make up for it. Had dinner, visited around the campfire for a couple of hours, now I’m ready for a shower and bed. Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
