Hi Sweetie!
Woke up to an early alarm, got my chores and breakfast done, then headed off to Jeff’s to pick up my tractor. Whoo hoo! I guess you know what kind of girl I am that gets excited about having her tractor nearby, huh? Can’t WAIT to get out and start mowing these trails! When I got to Jeff’s, he told me to just back up and hook up the trailer, but had forgotten there was a tree that had fallen down and was blocking the only way in, so I cranked up the tractor, which started almost right away (good tractor!) and I quickly got a chain around the tree and moved it out of the way. Boy, have I missed being able to do jobs like that so quick and easy! It wasn’t long before we got the trailer hooked up and the tractor loaded on and strapped down. I had to add some air to the tires, but that didn’t take long, than off back to camp! I stopped at the gas station to fill up the 5 gallon diesel tank and the tractor (over $40 just for a bit over eight gallons! Ridiculous!), so now I’m ready to rock and roll! All I need now is for James to come over and open the gate and put a combo lock on it for me, and I’ll be up at the crack of dawn every day until all the trails are mowed to my liking, which shouldn’t take me too long. I’m only doing the horse trails, leaving the rest to the contractor who’s actually being PAID to mow. Sorry, but I’ve run out of patience. We were supposed to do this for the last two weeks, when the weather was perfect, now it’s over 90 every day and the humidity is rising, and the afternoon thunderstorm summer pattern is about to start, and I’m not waiting any longer! Can’t wait! Once I off-loaded the tractor, I couldn’t get the truck started, once again proof that my fuel filter needs changing, despite the fact it doesn’t have the recommended 15K miles on it yet. Must have got some bad diesel somewhere. I waited until almost 6:00 to try it again, and still had to manually pump it to get it going, but managed to finally start it, moved the trailer and disconnected, then parked the truck and the tractor in the car port, since now they’re saying there’s a chance of rain tonight that wasn’t there before. Settled down for the evening, a couple of Supernaturals, now headed to shower and bed, ready to get up with the alarm again tomorrow! Good night, darlin’! Love you!
