Hi Sweetie!
Had a good night sleep, did my chores, then got on the trail just after 9:00 to mark the Poker Run trail for Saturday’s ride. It was supposed to be really hot and I wanted to get it done early enough to miss the worst of the heat. I went by Mike’s to see if he wanted to come with me, but he was busy shoeing his horse so he couldn’t come. Jiggs and Ted were packing up and getting ready to leave, they weren’t able to get their refrigerator fixed so they’re just using ice and coolers, no fun! It didn’t take me too long, maybe 2:15 hours get the 9.5 miles marked. I only had one back of markers so they were few and far between, but at least the intersections are marked. Several of the organizers are coming in tomorrow to mark the trails again anyway, so I’m sure they’ll add some to make it easier. Flash was raring to go, so we kept up a good pace. Once we got back, I did one more little repair on the trailer. I noticed that the panel on the front part of the trailer had slipped down below the roofline, which it’s done before, though I’ve sealed it a number of times to keep the water out. I managed to get it back into place using a putty knife, though I don’t know how long that will last. Driving through all those cow pastures during the Cracker Ride really jiggled a lot of stuff loose, I’ll probably be tightening stuff for weeks to come! Then I relaxed during the afternoon, Mike and Laura both came by and we mostly chatted until dinnertime. We started getting a lot of horse people in, and Steve gave me a list of the equestrian campers, so I went around and got everyone’s stall numbers so I can hopefully keep track of who’s not cleaning their stalls and take appropriate action. Finally I took an early shower, and Mike and Laura and I all went down to the country club grille for dinner, I had a very nice salmon fillet and we had a very enjoyable evening, though the mosquitoes got a bit thick for a little while there. Got back to camp around 8:30, watched a little TV, now I’m ready for bed, later than I hoped because I have to get up fairly early tomorrow morning to get the rest of the stall numbers from people, and the three of us will probably take a ride in the morning, though probably not on the Poker Run trail, I’ve seen enough of that trail already! Anyway, the day is done! Good night, darlin’! Love you!
