Monday, February 5, 2024 – Tree Cutting Day

Hey Babe!
Had a good night sleep last night, woke up at a reasonable hour, read for a bit this morning, waiting for the rain to stop. The forecast said it would all be over by about noon, so I got Flash ready to go and loaded into the trailer by 11:00 and headed down to the HQ. Met with Logan about the map-making, then headed out into the forest to find a couple of downed trees that had been reported in advance of the next big equestrian event here, the Gator Run. Found them both, but was only able to remove one, the other one was just a tad too big for my little chainsaw, so I'll have to get one of the guys and a bigger chainsaw out here to take care of that. No hurry, we have almost two weeks before the ride. Unfortunately, the forecast was wrong again, and it drizzled on us until nearly 3:30, so it wasn't exactly ideal riding conditions, but we made it through, thanks to the nice, bright yellow poncho Jo gave me after her ride in December. I also picked up some restroom supplies that I needed, my storeroom is getting a little low on paper essentials. Got back to camp around 4:00, got Flash settled, then settled down myself for the evening. I've decided I want to cancel Netflix, I'm tired of their movie collection, it just seems to center on so much violence and language, I'm just going to stick with Prime, but before I go, I wanted to catch up on some of the TV series that have added seasons since I last watched, like Heartland and the Crown. Once they're done, I'm gone. Prime did raise their fees for their new category of "ad-free" (which used to be included, but now I have to pay extra), but it's worth it because I get so much more out of Prime than just the video stream. Anyway, it was a productive day, we rode over nine miles, so Lola got some exercise, too, though she was pretty reluctant to get out of the truck at first. Once she got going she was fine, it was just trying to get her moving that was the trouble. Sort of like me these days! So a productive day, a pleasant evening, and looking forward to shower and bed! Good night, Sweetheart! Love you!
