Hey Babe,
Lola was so restless last night, scratching at the floor and making a fuss, I finally put her on her chain and left the door open so she could come in and out. I did that a couple of times earlier this week when there was almost no one here, so I guess she got in the habit and liked it, so I had to do it again, she was so noisy. That happened in the middle of the night, so I lost some sleep over that. When I did get up and did my rounds, I got an earful of complaints about one of the groups of hunters who apparently stayed loud well into the wee hours of quiet time, then started up again at 4:00 in the morning. I had stuck my head out the door at 11:00 last night and didn’t hear anything, but then they were far away so I probably wouldn’t. Unfortunately, that means that tonight I’m going to have to stay up late and go over there to give them a warning. The local law enforcement guy went and had a talk with a one of them, the only one left in camp, but I don’t know if that will do any good. This is the only thing I don’t like about this job, having to deal with people who have no consideration for others. I don’t care what their cultural differences are, when you’re in a camp, quiet hours mean QUIET! Whatever. Once I got my other chores done, I took a ride into town to pick up hay, the Ace hardware that sells it had called me to tell me it was in, so I went to get some. It’s beautiful, soft green coastal, but I’ve never had to pay so much for it before, $12.50 a bale! For Coastal! I may be saving on gas, but I’m sure not saving on hay! But with diesel at $5.79/gal earlier this week, I can’t blame the farmers, they have to pay it, too. I bought 15 bales though, since it seems I’m not leaving as early as I thought, and there seems to be a shortage. I don’t want to run out. I suspect I’ll be able to put the horses on grass more often though, I doubt we’ll get that many campers once this hunt is over. I’ve been having trouble charging my phone, so I bought a 5-pack of new cords from Amazon, which, despite explicit instructions on where to deliver it, ended up at the “office,” which turned out to be gate 5, which is closed on Saturdays. I drove over there anyway, and could actually see my package on the floor inside the door, but it was locked, so I’ll have to wait until Monday. Meanwhile, my phone just won’t seem to charge, though I finally got the cord I had put with my solar panel out, and that’s working. It seems like they work for about a week, then the end stretches and doesn’t stay tight, so it doesn’t charge right. Hoping these new cords will work better, but at least I’ll have spares when they quite working. Looked into a wireless charger, might consider that if these don’t last long enough, but apparently they take longer to charge. Of course, that’s better than not charging at all! Anyway, I’m having to stay up past 11:00, probably be midnight or later by the time I get to bed, since I won’t be able to take my shower till after my final rounds, and who know how late that will be if these guys give me any trouble. Just hope I don’t have to call law enforcement. I’ll be glad when most everyone leaves tomorrow, I need some sleep! So I’ll say goodnight, even though I’ll be up awhile longer. Love you!
