Thursday, September 18, 2025 – No Ride, Flash A Bit Lame Today

Hey Babe,
Had another good night sleep, got my chores done, but when it came time to saddle up Flash, he just wasn't moving right. I had given him bute last night and this morning, but there was a little puffiness on his right rear fetlock, so I decided not to risk further injury. Fortunately, the trail we were supposed to do today was shared a lot by the trail we did on Tuesday, and Steph had run around most of the same trail with the FEI folks, so she was okay with me not finishing it off today, thank goodness. So it turned into a pretty lazy day, beautiful weather, read and did some research, finally deciding on going to Sedalia Horse Camp in SC on Monday, someplace new and easy to get to. Shared dinner with Steve and Cam, visiting with them until dark, then managed to watch an hour of TV. Something really weird is going on with the cell phone signal here. Typically it's pretty bad here, though I was hoping that after all the destruction from the hurricane last year, they might have upgraded the towers. Well, it's mostly still bad, except when my phone is inside the trailer (usually it works better OUTSIDE the trailer), when it suddenly pops into roaming mode and jumps to four bars! No idea why that's happening! Glad, though, because it's a lot easier to get stuff done when I have a good internet connection, which I did. Then around 8:30, it suddenly started raining, an isolated storm that was not predicted in the forecast even as it was happening! So everything's wet again. Anyway, tea's on, shower next, off to bed soon! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
