Thursday, November 14, 2024 – Trail Clearing, Truck Wash and Wax

Hi Darlin',
While I got up bright and early, Rick had apparently arrived even earlier. First thing I did was move the horses into their new paddock area, figured they were ready to stretch out, and of course, they did run around a bit until I got their feed ready. After feeding Lola and having a quick breakfast, I drove out with Rick to Bailey's Mine to check and clear the trail. There wasn't much debris, just a couple of small trees down and a few bushes we trimmed back, but we were done and back in camp by 11:00. I stopped by the Post Office to pick up my mail and resume delivery, only to discover that my mail carrier was ahead of me, and there was mail waiting on my trailer steps. I ordered a mailbox, which is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so he'll have a receptable from now on, hopefully, if the powers-that-be don't object. Spent the afternoon washing and waxing the truck, though I ran out of time to do this inside, so that's one of tomorrow's jobs. Jo's call from the vet advised her to wait a couple of weeks to see how the leg injury plays out, and though she's disappointment, I think it's the right decision to wait. I quit around 5:00, fed the horses, and settled down for the evening, watching a couple of short movies. Ready for shower and bed, tomorrow will be another busy day! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
