Thursday, October 6, 2022 – Finally, A Ride On Apollo

Hiya Babe,
Had a decent night’s sleep, though it took a long while to nod off, still up at around 7:30. Did my chores and had a quick breakfast, finish just in time before Karen and her friend Laura showed up for a ride. They were on stock horses, and didn’t want to take too long of a ride, so I decided to join them on Apollo. Poor old guy hasn’t been ridden in a long time, and he certainly needs the exercise! We rode for just under two hours, first taking the teal trail, included the very wet area between Intersections 7 & 9, drier out to the powerline and back to the grade on the red trail, then decided to take the red trail back to camp, which was wetter than I expected, though only a few inches in most places. The two water crossings were pretty high, but that only means above the knees, almost to the horses’ bellies, but no big deal. Was a very nice ride. I had intended to pick up some palm fronds this afternoon, but decided I wasn’t in the mood, so I finished reading a book instead. Took a shot at trying to fix the dead drill/driver that went kaput on me last week, no luck there. Changed the water filter in my hose, it’s been very slow and full of algae, so I put in a new one along with a bleach tablet just to try to keep my tank a little clearer. Settled down for the evening, watched a couple of Outlanders, now it’s shower and bed time! Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
