Monday, October 2, 2023 – Hay, Shopping and Burn Day

Hiya Babe,
Had an easier day today, first picking up a 21-bale bundle of hay from a place just a stone’s throw from McCulley Farms, didn’t see much repair work going on there, but I guess the endurance ride is still scheduled. Got my hay (the guy was an expert, dropped in perfectly in the back of the truck, though the tailgate had to be down because of the water tank), stopped at the cheapest place for diesel I could find (still $4.29/gallon), went to Tractor Supply, who managed to find me all the feed I needed, despite their website indicating they didn’t have some of it, then a final stop at Walmart for just a few things I needed. Was back around noon. Decided I wasn’t up to heavy physical labor today, and I didn’t have a chainsaw or the trailer to haul stuff, so I opted just to burn the piles of small stuff I had raked up yesterday. I also load eight bales into the trailer so I don’t have to worry about that, and covered the rest with a tarp. I may move them under the gooseneck, I haven’t decided yet. Did a couple of loads of laundry as well. Then Deb came by with a package, the new cover for my new phone which is due to arrive later in the week, and much to my surprise, it looks like my new phone is actually smaller than the one I have now! So I guess it’s about the same size as the phone before the Nokia, which will be great! Thought it would be about the same size or slightly larger, but smaller is better, as far as I’m concerned! The cover is a lovely shade of Hunter Green, which I realized later may not have been the best choice, if I lose it in the woods while riding it will be nearly impossible to find! But being smaller, it should tuck into my horn bag better anyway, so hopefully, not a problem. Settled into dinner and TV, looking forward to a shower and bed. Glad I had a restful day, though, I’ll be ready for more labor tomorrow, though only if I get the tools I need, which, at the moment, has to have wheels. Dave is supposed to be getting something called a Truckster, which he lent to someone else, but if he gets it back I’ll get busy again. If not, I may just take a ride to see what kind of shape the trails are in. I’m supposed to be getting my mini-chainsaw tomorrow, but mail gets here really late, so I might just take the folding clippers and my camp saw just in case. Decisions for a later time! Good night, darlin’! Love you!
