Saturday, July 8, 2023 – Rest and Repair Day

Hey Babe!
It turned out doing my lake ride yesterday was the right choice, because this morning it was cloudy and cooler, and we had some rain midday, which was the perfect excuse to not do too much today. I did some mending, the snap back on to Lola’s safety vest and the grommet on the saddlebags, which turned out to be more of a challenge than I anticipated, but it got done. I took the screw out of the awning, I plan to run it in and out a few times, leave the screw out for awhile, and hopefully resolve the binding issue I’ve been having lately. Didn’t really have anything else pressing, so I made some popcorn and watched a couple of movies in the afternoon. When I tried to do my Spanish lesson, though, I wasn’t able to get online. It’s been weird, because even though I have zero cellphone signal here, I’ve been able to do my Duolingo, which I didn’t think was possible, so I wasn’t overly surprised when it quit working, and still have no explanation as to why it did the last few days. Anyway, I was also about to finish my last book on Kindle, so I decided to take a quick run out to find a wifi, and managed to do that a few miles down the road at the Pine Stump. They were closed, but there were a couple of girls inside that told me there was an open signal, I just had to check the box to sign in, and thankfully, they were right. Of course, the signal was slow as molasses in January, not sure if it was my phone or their signal, but eventually I was able to finish my lesson and download some books. Then I discovered that Messages had been downloading some pictures, which was probably what the problem was, and I’m guessing they’re from the couple that took pix of me at the lake yesterday, but I didn’t hang around to download them, as by then it was after 9:30… and still daylight! Even later up here! I got back, took my shower, and went to bed around 10:15, and I could STILL see dusk in the west! Crazy! At least to me, though I’m sure the locals are fine with it. Wonder how short the days are in the winter. Anyway, it was a good day, my neighbors left and I have this place to myself again. Lovely and quiet here, except I’m very close to the road, that seems to have as much OHV traffic and regular traffic. I imagine they have a big snowmobile population up here, too. Well, good night, my darlin’! Love you!
