Wednesday, July 21, 2021 – Nice Short Ride on Apollo

Hi Sweetie!
Had a hard time getting to sleep last night, read till pretty late, but eventually managed it. A beautiful cool night, too! Did my chores, then proceeded to turn a 5-minute job into a 30-minute one. Every since I fixed the washer, I’ve been meaning to reapply some of that crack foam around the hoses where they come up from the floor, and I finally decided to do that this morning. I pulled all of the drawers out of the linen closet and take the panel off the side wall, only to figure out that I couldn’t reach it from there and all I needed to do was pull the two little drawers out underneath. Oh, well, at least the job got done! Then I had to put it all back again, of course. Finally finished, I saddled up Apollo to take him on a ride today. I decided to do the same ride that we did here back in 2013 (the one and only ride we completed, since the first one we took, I crashed before we got 100 yards up the trail, and was in too much pain the next few days to ride again, plus it rained, according to my diary entry of the occasion), except I did it backward. It was truly a lovely ride once again. So many beautiful trails out here, and as you know, they always look completely new when you ride them in the opposite direction! Once we got back, I eventually took him down to the water spigot and gave him a good wash with medicated shampoo and sprayed him with antibiotic spray to try to diminish his rain rot. Had a chat with some new folks that moved in down the road. Oh, I forgot to tell you, the other night, there were a couple of tenters that were running their chainsaw at midnight, as well as either shooting a small caliber gun or very loud fireworks, not sure which. Kind of glad they moved on today, that was a little unnerving. Did a little research on some more Michigan horse camps, watched some TV, grilled an Angus burger and settled down for the evening. My truck is supposed to be ready tomorrow, I’m riding to the Woodville store with Alayna from the local trail association for lunch, and I have some shopping to do in addition to dropping off the rental car, so it’s going to be a busy day! So I’m heading off to shower and bed early, hoping to get a good night sleep. Good night, darlin’! Love you!
