Hi Darlin’!
Well, with the clocks changing last night, I woke up before my 7:30 alarm, and got more chores and breakfast done in plenty of time to get out to pick up my hay at 9:30. It was about a 30 minute drive to McAlpin, but it’s a big hay operation. The bales weren’t as big or as green as what I had before, but they were only $6 and it’s typical coastal, so I’m sure the horses will eat it. Made a quick stop at Walmart for some mineral spirits in case I need to strip all the old sealant off the refrigerator vent, or any other job where I might need it. I ordered some lap sealant today, so I can get the job done later in the week. Sheila arrived earlier than we expected, around 2:00, and she got her mule put away. Then we discovered that Linda’s young horse Sonny had gotten tangled up in the electric rope fence and really made a mess of his back legs, so we had to rinse those off and treat them a couple of times during the day. Then we gathered for a lovely dinner that Debbie had prepared, and afterward they introduced me to a dice game called Farkle, which was interesting and easy to learn. We treated Sonny again, then went our separate ways around the yard. I had decided that I need some kind of wireless fence for Lola, I’m getting tired of her disappearing on me and having to go get her, or having other people trying to adopt her. I met the guy that had her the other day, he claims he called several times, but couldn’t get through, but I checked and the number is working fine. Anyway, I did some research, and discovered an inexpensive system that actually works with a rechargeable battery on the transmitter as well as the receiver, which is a perfect solution. Most of them have to be plugged into power, and that means it would have to run off my trailer batteries whenever I’m not plugged in, and who knows what kind of a draw that would be. With rechargeable batteries, I can charge them every time I have the generator on when I’m boondocking, which means I don’t have to remember to turn on the machine every time I let Lola out. I hope it works as advertised, it’s the perfect solution. I ordered one, it should be here Thursday. Meanwhile she’s mostly going to be on a leash! After a nice quiet evening, it’s time to take my shower and go to bed! Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
