Friday, February 3, 2023 – Busy Day Moving Over to Brother Jeff’s

Hey Babe,
Slept well, then got to packing up what was left to pack up. Got the truck hooked up, then had breakfast, closed up the trailer, had a brief conversation with Ron and Julie, loaded up the horses, stopped at the dump, and headed over to Jeff’s house around noon. He was waiting for me at the end of the driveway doing some frond clearing, and we managed to get into his narrow driveway without hitting anything or knocking my ladder off, which is usually the case! Got backed up to the barn and settled in within a short time. I had hoped to get my batteries changed out, but it didn’t happen. No big deal. It’s a lot quieter here, actually, no constant stream of big trucks going along a nearby highway, and a cool front came through late in the afternoon, so I expect I’ll have a great night sleep tonight as well. There’s been a petition to reinstate me at Dupuis posted, and it already has over 30 respondents is about four hours, which I thought was really good considering it’s a Friday night. I expect by morning the number will be much higher, and by Monday, it will hopefully be really impressive. I’ve had a lot of time to think about things, and I’ve reached some real clarity on the issue, I feel I have my arguments in place, should the opportunity to be heard ever arise. In any event, it was a good day, Lola’s very happy to be able to run around without a leash, the horses are having a blast exploring the yard again, though they’ve presented themselves covered in burrs, which is typical out here! Patrick the mean goat seems very happy to have company, there hasn’t been any for awhile, Jeff’s boarder moved her horses and his other goat had to be put down, so he’s been on his own. He latched onto my guys immediately. Had dinner, watched some TV, heading to shower bed soon. Love you, darlin’! Good night!
