Hey Sweetie!
Spent the morning do my usual chores, a little computer work, and finally getting Flash into the little trailer for a ride down at Tidewater. Today we were going to do the purple and blue trails, not hugely long, but I took along about a dozen purple stickers for the trail markers and ended up using them all long before I even hit two miles! There are an awful lot of markers out here that need refreshing! Once we got down to the south end of the forest, we ran into a prescribed burn they were doing, and I ended up having to take a shortcut off the purple trail to avoid the worst of it. Unfortunately, a long section of that trail had been torn up by a bulldozer, so what I imagine were lovely trails last week are a mess this week! Hopefully we'll have some rain to tamp it down, but I'm also going to see if they can run over it with a tractor to flatten it out before the next ride in three weeks. I remember they did that for us a year or two ago when one of the trails had been tilled up as a firebreak, maybe they can do that again. Otherwise, it was mostly a lovely trail, typical Florida, not too exciting, but a beautiful day! Jo had mentioned there's a stretch that goes right along the road and wondered if there was a way to reroute it to avoid that, and at a quick glance, I can't see any reason why not, but I'll have to go back and do a bit more exploring to make sure. We got back to the trailhead and got him loaded up, though he was a bear getting out earlier. For some reason he's decided he can't back out of the small trailer, something he's never had a problem with before, and keeps insisting on turning around. We worked on it for a bit, and managed to make a little progress, and when we got back home, he did manage to back out, though I could only make him do it when one back door was closed. But at least he managed! After I got him settled, I went ahead and emptied my black water into the portable tank and rolled it down to the restroom with the newly established access to the sewer line, very glad I can do that now! So much easier! Finally settled down for the evening, watched a Nicholas Cage movie, now I'm ready to finish the evening with Spanish, shower and bed! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
