Hi Sweetie,
Another exhausting day! After breakfast and chores, I saddled up Apollo, since he’s in desperate need of exercise and today’s ride is only about ten miles. I took my pink paint along, and it was going fine until the first stop, then I managed to get pink paint all over my saddle bags. Oh, well, it gives it some character! We followed the pink trail from camp down to the Cypress Boardwalk, adding some ribbons where the paint wasn’t real clear, then on the way back, finally stopping to add a little paint in a couple of places as well. Before we can be satisfied that it’s permanently marked, we’re going to have to add a few more, there wasn’t quite enough to satisfy me that it was sufficient to follow. Some areas seemed to be mowed, others not so much, so I arranged with James to have the contractor come out and mow some areas that evidently didn’t get mowed last week. I managed to get Apollo to jog a lot of the way (automatic paint mixer!), rather just his slug walk, so we managed to be slightly quicker, but it still took us nearly four hours for just over ten miles! Well, of course, I stopped to paint a few times, but it didn’t take THAT long! Anyway, it was still a nice ride, though he was a big jumpy from the wind and the smell of pigs, as there was a lot of pig sign out there. Got back and had to deal with a bunch of OTL issues, finally had a minute to try to get the paint off my saddle bags but it was too dry. Mineral spirits didn’t even help! Finally able to settle down for the evening, but didn’t even get a chance to relax, as more OTL issues arose. Anyway, I’m done for the night, heading to shower and bed here shortly. Love you, babe! Good night!
