Hi Sweetie,
Had another great night sleep, got my chores done, and headed out to pick up ten bales of hay. This has got to be the closest hay maker I’ve ever gone to, literally just five minutes up the road! A lady named Tanya, and she had some very nice coastal (yeah, we’re back in coastal country again!), but they are big bales for just $6 a bale, so I’m a happy camper. Got them stored away, and was starting to wash the trailer by 11:00. What a job! I was determined to be very thorough today, since my plan is to wax it this time, a LONG overdue exercise. I also found a few more jobs that I need to do, like at the front, there’s a gap between the front aluminum panel and the roof, so I’m going to have to seal that again. I sealed the leaking drain pipe under the refrigerator at the end of the day, too, and it seems to have stopped the drip that was down there. Still don’t know where the water leak is, though, not sure I’ll have time to find and fix it until next week, but we’ll see. Also spent an hour on the phone trying to change a delivery of a package, that, surprise, surprise, was supposed to be here Friday but got delayed, this time by UPS, and they’re saying it will arrive on Saturday before 7:00 pm, which won’t help me because I had it sent General Delivery and the Post Office closes at 11:00 a.m. Sigh. Tracking has it about 100 miles away, so I’m hoping it comes tomorrow anyway, or that I can arrange with the post office to have it sent here to Mingo Trails on Saturday rather than risk missing it at the post office, which means, once again, I may have to delay a day to wait for it. I hate waiting for deliveries, they never seem to get here on time anymore! I am really getting sick of the Covid excuse for everything, but considering that everybody seems to be shorthanded, and there’s not enough people around getting hired, or seem to want to work. Heck, they’re getting $20 an hour at McDonalds now, for heaven’s sake! Between that and fuel prices going up and up, inflation is going crazy right now. Whatever, no sense ranting about it. I guess it is taking its toll, though, Colin Powell, who gave us that incredible praise after you worked with him so many years ago, passed away a few days ago from complications of Covid. I never watch news anymore, too depressing and biased, but I saw an RIP on a church sign as I was driving the other day. Strange but effective way to learn about things, huh? Anyway, I worked my butt off today and managed to get the trailer washed, except for some black streaks, you know how hard they are to get off. All those cans of Streak Away that we bought, what, twenty years ago now, have mostly rusted and can’t seem to get much out of them, so I’m on a search for a replacement, since they don’t make that anymore. Got an idea, I’ll let you know how it works tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’ve had my shower and I’ll be off to bed soon, trying hard to get on a schedule that’s a bit earlier to bed, since the days are getting so much shorter now. So I’ll say good night, my darlin’! Love you!
