Hiya Babe!
A very busy day today! Since I didn’t ride yesterday, I saddled up Flash and grabbed my new little chainsaw and headed out on the trails today. The first blockage I came across was just a few feet in from the end of the road, but it was too big for me to do anything about, so I took another direction to get around it. Not surprisingly, a lot of the wide trails in the the direction of the Spirit of Suwanee campground had been cleared, but as soon as I crossed the road by the boat ramp, there were a lot of problems. Amazingly, my little chainsaw did an incredible job, and I was able to clear have a dozen spots that would have otherwise been impassable. The photos here show some before and after shots. Very impressive that this tiny chainsaw did so much work! There was one section near the sinkhole that I actually got lost on, couldn’t tell where the trail went at all and got a little turned around it was so bad, but I managed to backtrack and get a few more spots done. My battery finally gave out, and I didn’t bring the second one because I figured by the time the first one wore out, I’d probably be exhausted, and that turned out to be just about right! We only got out about two miles, but got a lot of work done. Got back to the trailer for a grape break, then took Deb’s 12 inch electric saw down to that first blockage and managed to get that all cleared up, except for one log I left on the ground, for reasons us horse people understand :-). When I got back to the trailer after that, I suddenly discovered that a couple of credit cards that were in my phone case were missing, and since I only took the phone out once on the trail (for a stupid spam call!), so it had to be there, but just to make certain, I drove back to the last tree and they weren’t there. I’ll have to go looking early tomorrow. As I was coming back to the trailer again, the mail arrived, and my new phone was in, yay! Figures that an hour before I was going to change phones and phone cases would be when I lost my credit cards from the old case! Spent a little time changing over the SIM and SD cards, and even though I thought that would make everything work, I was wrong. I ran out of time, though, and headed over to Shannon’s (the firewood guy) and picked up the trailer and moved it over to where Dave wanted it, but we just dropped it off and left. I decided to head to Verizon so they could finish transferring the information over, and that solved a lot of it, though I still had some work to do to get it set up the way I wanted. Spent most of the evening doing that. But it certainly is a lot faster! That was my biggest complaint about the last one, way too slow, but I think this one will last a long time. Anyway, I’m exhausted and I have another long day tomorrow, looking for my credit cards and clearing some more of the trail, though this time I will take both batteries and make it a long day, unless Dave and Deb need me for anything. I’ll be “on call” for them. Good night, darlin’! Love you!
