Monday, Dec. 27, 2021 – Travel Day to Picayune Strand, Shopping

Hi Darlin’!
Was up by 8:00 this morning, took us no time at all to get packed and moving, were on the road by 9:00. A straightforward drive, mostly on I-75, with only one very short slowdown, the rest was easy. Was surprised when I looked back and saw it was way back in 2013 the last time we were here. I seem to remember it was a shakedown cruise for the new Open Range travel trailer we had just bought. Arrived well before 1:00, and was in the process of putting up my portable corral when the camphost came by and said we could use the paddocks at no extra charge, so we parked them in there instead! Didn’t take long to get set up, then we ran out to do some shopping, mostly down to Tractor Supply for propane, so now I’m full up on propane for awhile. Managed to park mostly in the shade but with enough room at the front to get a lot of really good solar energy, so I made sure that panel was out before we left. Unfortunately, they didn’t have Perform for Flash, and neither did the Rural King 30 miles in the opposite direction, so I’ll have to share some of Apollo’s feed with him until I can get some more. Weird, because Rural King usually carries the full line of Nutrena, but not this branch! Anyway, got back, fed the horses, made dinner which we shared at the picnic table again. We were a bit late to the mosquitoes were starting to eat us alive at the very end of our meal, so we weren’t long before saying good night! Had a bunch of money come in for the OTL today, which makes me very happy, looks like all my efforts are panning out! Stock market did well today, too, so I’m an all around happy camper! One thing I forgot to do, though, was to fulfill a book order, so I’m going to have to do that in the morning, or have Pistol mail it since she wants to take her truck in to fill it with fuel while she’s disconnected. Meanwhile, I’m full from dinner, planning on watching an episode of The Expanse, take my shower and head to bed! Feeling a bit tired, you know how traveling always does that. Anyway, good night, babe! Love you!
