Hi Hon,
Had a good night sleep, and a quiet morning, waiting for the mobile RV guys to come out and look at the slide-out. It’s been gradually getting worse, and I’m worried it’s going to get irretrievably stuck one of these days, so I figured I better get it looked at while I was here. After less than an hour, they decided it’s most likely the bearings on the slide, but that can’t do anything to fix it because the whole slide apparently needs to come out so I need to take it to a shop. That little diagnosis cost me $240. They recommended a place in Stuart, but when I called them, their first availability is March 15! I really don’t want to stay here that long, Jeff and I are already driving each other nuts, and I never intended to stay more than a month, certainly not four months, grrr! Meanwhile, Jeff decided to fix the tractor tire with the tire and tube I bought, and in the process, popped the tube. Of course, he immediately made it my fault, did the tire really need a tube, did I get the right size tube, yada, yada, yada. I called the company to get another tube, and they were generous enough to say they’d send me another one gratis, on the off chance it was defective (VERY off chance), but now we have to wait until that shows up. Meanwhile, I gave the horses a bath and left them out to dry, tied to the small trailer until Apollo was dry enough to start clipping. A little trial and error, but I managed to get most of what I wanted to do done before the battery ran out. It’s hardly perfect, but being the first time I ever tried to clip a horse, I think it came out pretty well. And Apollo was wonderful, stood still, hardly noticed what I was doing. I’ll have a bit more to finish off tomorrow once the clippers are recharged. I think I need to take Flash for a ride, though, he’s getting antsy, running around the yard like a mad horse for no reason, or whenever he loses track of Apollo. It’s odd, I just don’t really feel like riding out here, I guess I’m just bored with the trails, I’ve been on them so much in the past. I’ll see how I feel in the morning, I don’t want to re-damage my knee, which has been getting a little better. I still have more jobs lined up that I need to do, but I guess there’s no hurry, especially if I’m stuck here another two months. I’ll be on the phone looking for another repair shop, though, to see if I can get into one sooner, you can bet on that! Once again, didn’t get the horses fed until nearly dark, despite my efforts to get it done sooner, delayed by you know who. Anyway, finally settled down for the evening, Found out that for this MRI I’m supposed to be getting next week I can’t wear any jewelry, but I can’t seem to get my wedding ring off. My knuckle has expanded or something, and it’s giving me a dickens of a time. I’ve read about several methods I’m going to try tomorrow, before I resort to going to a jewelry store and having it cut off, which would be terrible to have to do. Well, no sense worrying about that tonight. Good night, sweetie. Love you!
