Hey Sweetie,
Woke up before 4:30 this morning, I guess that's the curse of going to bed early! Not long after that, I hear Flash nickering, but not his "Apollo has escaped and I can't seem him so now I'm panicking" whinny, but his "Apollo has just escaped, I can still see him, and 'you're going to get in so much trouble!' nicker, so naturally, I had to get up and deal with it. At least he hadn't broken any fence posts, this was one of his more subtle escapes, no doubt pulling posts with his teeth and dropping them until he could move out escapes. After getting him back in and fixing the downed posts, I spent a few minutes trying to figure out why the fence isn't working properly, but I'm no further ahead. I'm definitely getting spark from the charger, and I can't find any ground problems, but it's still not working. Sigh... Anyway, I piddled around until about 8:00, including doing some more stretches on my shoulders, fed the horses, fed Lola and me, than got on with my morning. Had a few things to do on the computer, then hooked up the small horse trailer and took Flash down to Tidewater again. I once again went through the purple trail, seeking out the original trail I had marked with the help of previous GPS files, and put up markers about every five yards to make sure it couldn't be missed. Not sure whether anyone will get out to mow them anytime soon, but c'est la vie! On the way back, I checked another section of trail just trying to be thorough. As soon as I rinsed off Flash and loaded him into the trailer (he was tremendously patient with me today, with a lot of stop/starting as I marked the trails), I headed to Apex, and met with Logan for a bit, talking about what needs to be done and some other trail issues, finally getting back to camp after 4:00. I started my new routine of early dinner, watch a one hour series, then fed the horses. Today I added putting up a highline within the paddock, just to hook up Apollo. I'm tired of having to deal with his Houdini tactics, while Flash is free to roam the paddock. At least until I can figure out my fence problem! Took my hot tub, which was smelling a lot better today. I bought some chemicals for it yesterday, but I couldn't find a bromine floater, so I found an old pair of bath gloves I've had since the 80's and crammed a bunch of finger-shaped bromine tablets into them, then tied them to that little mini-rubber ducky we picked up at some fancy hotel like the Ritz in Orlando, and voila! Instant chemical release! So now the tub didn't small or have any slippery sides, so it's better. I'll check it with a chemical strip tomorrow and see what other augments are needed. Showered, did dishes, and finally settled down to a couple more Farscape episodes, and heading to bed soon! A long, busy day! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
