Hi Babe,
A long day, but got it all done in the end! Up early with the alarm, got the Horse Crossing signs out, helped all the 50-milers across the road, had breakfast and fed the horses, then helped the 25 milers cross the street, then headed over to the first vet-check hold, put more signs out, as well as hay at both water stops, then back to camp briefly before going to Helen's house where the ride started. Grabbed some lunch, then before long, back at camp waiting for the first 50's to come in. The day started out pretty well, but the rain finally started coming in around noon and never quiet the rest of the day. A lot of the 25's got done, but the 50's got the brunt of it. I ended up sitting in the truck at the finish line for several hours while the horses came in, the last one being just after 4:00, so it was good that Jo had that ride leave earlier than originally scheduled, though everyone was wet by that point anyway. Once they all went through, I fed the horses and settled down for the evening, though I didn't need dinner as I've been eating way too much the last few days. I did splurge with some bourbon-laced eggnog in celebration, and watched a very weird movie called Asteroid City. It had a stellar cast, and flipped between play-style and movie style, but got very weird and sometimes boring despite the all-star cast. It's like the stars want to do something different, but what's different is so non sequitur, it doesn't make any sense. I'm getting tired of movies that don't make sense, or have unsatisfactory endings, or just don't really have a story to them, but that seems like all the new movies offer lately. Sigh... Anyway, the rain is still rattling the roof, so earplugs tonight, and hopefully a good, bourbon-infused sleep tonight. Good night, my sweet! Love you!
