Hey Darlin’,
Got to bed late but had a good night sleep, lots of energy this morning. James came by and met a vendor regarding water and sewer for the new host site they’re putting in for me, then I got busy and cut all the boards I’m going to need for the cross pieces of the trail markers. After measuring and looking at how they are going to appear on the post, I figured out that I could have gotten away with a lot less lumber than I ordered (and painted, unfortunately, or else I could have taken some of it back), but that’s okay, I’ll just put out more arrows and have plenty set aside for future repairs. Once they were cut I painted the edges, first coat in the morning, second in the afternoon, which has become my habit the last few days of painting. Tomorrow it get serious, putting numbers and arrows them. Once that’s done, I can start going back out and screwing them onto the posts, plus painting the intersection number on the posts, which needs to be done in situ. We’re on the home stretch! At least, for the posts we can reach, the southern swamp area will have to wait awhile, though at least I’ll be able to finish them here, then all I have to do is make a hole and put the completed posts in, which will be easier, though more difficult to carry out there. Maybe by then I’ll have a UTV, or someone who can take me out there. Did some housekeeping, a few finicky jobs like cleaning the little fan in the bedroom and bleaching my dish rack, then settled down for the rest of a quiet afternoon, working on the videos from last week’s workshop. Soon will be time for shower and bed! Good night, babe! Love you!
