Friday, February 10, 2023 – Short Ride on Flash

Hey Babe,
Had trouble getting to sleep last night, read a long time, but got up on time this morning. After breakfast I finished painting the front cap of the trailer, looks a lot better now. Did some housework, then took Flash for a five mile loop around Hungryland, saw several gators. He’s developing a little split in one of his front hooves, so I’m treating that as best I can. Don’t want to have a lame horse come this summer, especially on the Shore to Shore Ride I’m planning on going on! Nipped out to the hardware store to pick up a couple of appliance bulbs for the microwave, both of them were gone, even though I’ve replaced them both in the last six months. Also met up with a woman who wanted to buy my book, figured she could save the shipping costs since she lives right here in the Farms. Had a nice chat with her. Got back, replaced the bulbs, hit the button for the lights to turn on, and realized I had no power! Checked all the circuits and connections, it all looked good, then realized the rest of the trailer had power, just the microwave wasn’t working. I checked the outlet it was plugged into and it worked just fine. Which is telling me my microwave is the problem, just what I need. I played around with it for a minute, and suddenly it started making a noise, even though it wasn’t turned on. I unplugged it for a bit, finally got the clock to work (it was making funny digital faces for a minute there at the beginning), and the lights and fan, but the clock seems to be wavering a bit, so it might be on the way out. Haven’t actually tried to use it yet, figured I’d wait until I needed to, maybe it will improve overnight. Then I had trouble with the TV again, telling me my wifi switch was off. I tried all the recommended fixes I could find short of taking the back off again like I did last time (too late tonight), and never got it going. Reading that maybe a Fire Stick would be the solution to my problem, a lot cheaper than buying a new TV (considering this one is only a few years old!) but again, I’ve unplugged it and I’m hoping for magic elves to fix it overnight. Meanwhile, watched a Hart to Hart on my computer, played a few games and did some research, so I’m done for the day. Heading to my shower and bed! Love you, darlin’! Good night!
