Monday, Nov. 8, 2021 – Nice Ride With Linda on Apollo

Hey Babe!
Another late night and morning, still trying to adjust to the new time, or just can’t seem to get off my “theatre” circadian rhythm for some reason. Did chores and had breakfast, then called Tractor Supply about the order of two bags of Balance we had hoped would be on the truck yesterday, and hit a roadblock. Typical. No one knew anything, and everyone I talked to told me what I had been told wasn’t possible. Grrrr! Frustrated, I got online on the Nutrena dealer locator and discovered the local Co-op had the Balance, so I went down and picked up two bags, plus a bag of Senior. They didn’t have the Perform for Flash, so I had to stop at Tractor Supply and get a bag there, but I had earned a $10 loyalty coupon, so at least that bag cost me about half price. Once I got those put away, I started saddling up the boys. I had invited Linda along, since her horse is out of commission for a bit while his legs heal, and she was happy to ride Apollo. We had a lovely 6 1/2 mile ride, mostly on the trails I’ve already done, but they were nice, and it warmed up to a beautiful day after a very chilly start to the morning. After we got back and put the horses away, she went off and tended to Sonny, I opened the two packages I had received today. One was for a new tailgate handle cover, which worked perfectly, and the other was for lug nut covers, which were way too small and will have to be exchanged or refunded. Then David came by with Kyle, one of his tenants that can do welding, and looked over my steps to figure out the best way to install them. They’re talking about not even using the bolts I bought, but just welding an entire seam along each end, they think that will be stronger. Whatever works, I don’t care! Then we all went into dinner, Sheila put out a big buffet spread for sandwiches, which was delicious, but as always on a buffet, I ate too much. Not going to lose any weight this week! Then we played another game of Farkle, then she brought out vanilla ice cream in stemmed glasses, and we poured Michigan Cherry Wine on it for dessert. Wow! Very nice! Oh, and I did Snowy River for them, just for fun. Then I helped Linda give Sonny another dose of bute, and headed back to the trailer, took Lola for a quick walk, and settled in for the night. Another night in the low 40’s, though Deb said it actually got down to 37 last night! Brrrr! Glad I’m so well insulated! Anyway, done for the day, heading to shower and bed in a bit. Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
