Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2020 – Long Busy Day

Hello Darling,
Had another busy day today, though plans changed at the last minute due to brother Karl. The lift chair I sold last week developed more serious mechanical problems, so I arranged to go pick that up again, hopefully I can find the trouble and fix it once and for all (though the woman was so grateful, she said I had “restored her faith in humanity.”) My plan was to pick it up and then go to euchre at the senior center, but Karl decided he didn’t want to go, he had made other plans to have an early lunch with his friend John, who is leaving tomorrow to go up to his new house in Georgia, so instead of euchre we went to Uncle Mick’s, that little hole in the wall in town, for lunch. We were there a couple of hours before we headed home, where we lugged the chair inside. I finally registered Jeff and myself for the upcoming Cattle Drive Reunion, though the regular website wasn’t working properly (it said the sale had “ended” even though we were within the deadline, but I managed to message someone there who just took my reservation, saying we could pay when we got there. Jeff tried to talk me into taking the trailer up there, but I finally put my foot down and said I didn’t want to do that, it was too much effort just for a couple of days, and besides, the point was to go CAMPING, like we did during the actual drive back in 2016, so he said he might just take his Bronco so he wouldn’t have to stay the whole time if he didn’t want, or maybe just because he’ll want to sleep in it. Whatever. Anyway, after a while, I decided to head over to the local hair salon for a cut, which was okay, though my hair has been so strange with it’s curliness lately, it’s not exactly what I was hoping for, but at least now it’s shorter. Then I headed over to the OTL meeting at Tim’s house, thrilled they managed to resolve the problems with the pavilion at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, so all that is back on track. The meeting went on longer than usual, but there were more people there than usual, and I guess now that we’re getting closer, there’s a lot more that needs to be done. A lot of logistics are starting to get resolved, and I’m doing my best to contribute. The key equestrian organizer seems to be a woman named Anita, and we’ve arranged to go riding this weekend to check out the trails in Corbett, you know, the ones I got so lost on last year? I think I’ve corrected that map now, but it will be good to confirm it on the ground. By the time I finished doing the things I promised to do at the meeting, it was nearly 10:00, so it’s just a bit of TV before bed. Good night, my love! Miss you!
