Monday, December 16, 2024 – A Little Quieter, But Still Productive Day

Hiya Sweetie,
Though I woke up once during the night, I managed to get a good night sleep and finally woke up a bit more refreshed, though still deep down tired. After chores, a load of laundry and a deep clean on the camp restrooms, I settled down at my computer to work on social media for the Taste of Goethe, which took awhile to do. I finally settled down late in the day, happy to discover that the unsatisfactory end to Farscape had an additional two part mini-series to close off the series, so I was able to get some more rest with that. My new South African friends, Marc and Nicci, were finally able to bring my tractor back to me, and were kind enough to take two trips in order to bring both the bush hog and the awl back to me, though I'll have to change the awl back myself, which is no big deal. I didn't want them spending any more time on it. He also put in another ground stake for my fence, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. He feels the knots may be the problem, so tomorrow I will finally cut those out and start fresh. If that doesn't work, there's another neighbor who has offered to help (he helped with the retrieval of my runaways the other day), I may get him out here. It might all be moot, though, as I talked, with Ranger Rick about building a permanent corral, using some of the old posts that were pulled last year, (a suggestion made by my friend from Jacksonville to my neighbor when they were both down at Tillis Hill), and Rick mentioned there was also a pile of used planks we might be able to use, so that may come to fruition even faster than I hoped! With those materials and the awl on my tractor, I should be able to create a corral in no time! Anyway, I still didn't get my hot tub in until nearly 9:30, then shower, now bed! I am feeling more rested, so I have high hopes for a constructive day tomorrow. Good night, darlin'! Love you!
