Hey Darlin’!
Really been sleeping great out here in the woods, then laying in for a bit to read, so I got up just before and got busy. After chores and breakfast, I started working on my first problem, the electric jacks on the trailer. They’ve been intermittent, and the last time I checked (after I got here and got it off the truck) it wasn’t working at all. Not a problem I want to have, so I got busy. Last time this happened it was solved by cleaning all the contact, particularly a connector that’s right behind one of the batteries. So first thing was to disconnect that battery and have a burly neighbor slide the 72 pound sucker over so I could reach everything. I then proceeded to carefully sand every single contact that had anything to do with the jacks, including both batteries, the relay behind the one battery, and all the connections on the jack motor itself. Put it all back together and viola! It worked GREAT! Put everything back together, and just as I was putting the last propane tank in place, I managed to pinch my finger underneath, ouch! Put some ice on it right away, so no problem. I walked down and to help Alayna loading her grandma’s mare Glory (not that she needed any help), then she stopped to listen to my brakes and said she could hear a hum on all four brakes, so evidently they’re working okay, which is very good news! There’s a stray wire near the blown tire, but I think that goes to a side marker which is missing anyway, so I guess I’m good! Loaded up Apollo to take the Grandma’s, figured it would be easier on everyone to just do that in one trip and get him settled in over there for the month. We put him in the big pasture, going to let the mares look him over for a few days, then put them together when Grandpa gets back from his fishing trip on Tuesday. Meanwhile, she baked me her famous cinnamon rolls, which were delicious as usual, and made me take four more home with me. I’ll be cursing her when I get on the scale the next few days! 🙂 Got back to camp and spent some time trying to straighten out the bent parts of the trailer near the wheel well, was hoping to get the bulging panel back into place, but that didn’t work. Anyway, settled down for the evening, listening to Flash whinny for Apollo, expect that will go on for a couple of days, especially now that camp is all but empty except for me (the way I like it!). Much quieter out here now! Looking forward to a good night sleep! Good night, babe! Love you!
