Hi Sweetie!
What a busy, busy day! It seemed like there was no end to the little jobs that had to be done. I did my best to space them out, but even so, it seemed like I would never get them all done. Of course, I did a load of laundry, had to get the sheets and whites done. The first day I got here, I decided to change the water filter, and was absolutely appalled at the state of it, it seemed like it was full of leaves, but it had to be algae, but very firm. It turns out, the overflow of the fresh water tank was filled with the same stuff! I have no idea how that could have happened, since it’s two totally different systems, but it does explain why I had so much trouble filling up the fresh water tank at St. Sebastian, no air flow in the overflow means the water kicks back from the main water line. Anyway, that must have taken me nearly an hour to completely clear out, I almost had reached the point where I thought I would have to take off the permanent clamp to get it clean, but I managed to squeeze the line enough and put enough water pressure on it to force it all out. Whew! Then I put in a bunch of bleach to sanitize it and all the water lines, then I flushed the black water tank about five or six times to get it completely clean, something I haven’t had the opportunity to do since before I hit the road last year. I packed up all the extraneous stuff and cleaned out the stalls, figuring I’d leave the horses in the paddock tonight so I won’t have stall cleaning in the morning. Did some housework as well, just so I wouldn’t carry old dirt to a new place, though it wasn’t exactly a thorough job today. Did my PT exercises and finally got to the point where I could ice my knee for a bit. I went down to the office to arrange for payment, and several trailers were just coming in, and I ended up spending the evening with these newcomers (everyone else had left this morning), even had a chance to do my Snowy River performance, which was very well-received, they were very appreciative. I may have a slight change in plans based on a recommendation they made, which will take me to a new place rather than an old one, but still keep me in line for Loretta Lynn’s on time. Even sold a few copies of my book to them as well! Everything is as packed as it can be at this point, the truck is lined up for tomorrow, though I’m not level enough to actually hook up at the moment, but I should be able to get out of here on time in the morning. There’s some rain in the forecast, but it seems really scattered, so I’m not going to worry about it. The weather forecast hasn’t exactly been too accurate lately, and a little rain won’t hurt anything. Just have to drive carefully, which I do anyway. Anyway, I’ve had my shower, I’m off the make the bed and then get in it! Love you, babe! Good night!
