Hi Babe!
Ride Day at last. Seemed like a short week, but we managed to get everything done! I didn't have any specific jobs today, but got a lot done nevertheless! After chores (just feeding the horses here!) and breakfast, I finished cutting Meg's metal signs, put her truck's battery on charge, sewed up the bag I use for collecting ribbons, and fixed a stall grate that's had some screws loose. Then I drove over to the start at the park and helped there for awhile. Once the 50's were all done with their first loop, I saddled up Flash and headed up the road to clear the ribbons from the true blue section. Unfortunately, after I left Lola behind without tying her up (I didn't think she'd follow me!), I was a good ways up the road when I heard her behind me. Meg and another gal that's been helping with water met me later and brought her home. I'd love to take her, but we had a long ride and she just wouldn't have been able to keep up. I finished doing the north section, the first part around fields and the second into a beautiful preserve, then went back to the start. Once we knew that most of the pink trail riders were done, I set out to pull the ribbons out there. Got back to camp again, and was set to help with the orange trail, but there were still too many riders out, so we had to wait. I finally decided to bring Flash home after having ridden nineteen miles, a good workout for him! Then I drove back, and shortly thereafter I went out with John to do the orange trail in reverse, expecting to meet up with Richard and Jack along the way, but they quit a bit early. We finally hit a spot they had cleared, but then we spoke to Richard, and they did all but what is referred to as the Church section, but by now it was so late we had to quit, as we wouldn't have time to finish before dark, and we were all exhaused. Tried to get as much done today as possible, as the forecast if very rainy for tomorrow, though it's hard to believe in the weatherfolks anymore, they seem to get it wrong so much of the time these days. Anyway, drove back to the farm and settled in for the evening, giving Flash an extra bunch of feed considering how much work he did today. What a good boy! As far as I know, the ride went well, but I was so busy I could hardly pay attention! Settled down to a nice dinner and an hour of Farscape, ready for shower and bed again! Good night, darlin'! Love you!
