Hey Sweetie,
I'm exhausted! But had a great, busy day, got tons done. I had started the hot tub draining last night, so my first chore was to get that packed. I took down the screen room, and the skirting around the hay under the gooseneck, rinsed off the awing, which had lots of leaves and other stuff on it, I pumped up the trailer tires, which were all down a little bit, and had a little trouble with one that didn't want to take in air, but eventually got that worked out. Rinsed off the screen room rug and generally got the whole area cleared out, pretty much all done by noon! Amazing what you can get done when you get up early! Did some more chores for awhile, then finally stopped for awhile, took a shower because it was 97 degrees with a heat index factor of 104 and I was overheated, then relaxed in the afternoon. I finally heard from Angela and Reuben, the mechanic who is going to work on my Buick, and we made it down to Yvette's, where I found the gate locked for once, but managed to locate the key and get in. I was amazed that the Buick started pretty quick once we jumped the battery, but it was a challenge to keep it from stalling out. Of course, I know Panther better than anyone, so I finally managed to get him steady enough to drive, and I drove him back to their house rather than Helen's, because he wants to work on it on his own time, which I can appreciate. I'm so happy to find someone who likes to work on old cars! And he is intrigued by the fact that it's a very rare car, he'd never seen one before, and seems excited about getting it up and running more reliably! Whoo hoo! I'm sure hoping that when I get back in the fall, I'll have a nice reliable runaround car! Of course, that all happened late in the evening, so it was just about sunset when we got him parked. Then I took a respite over to Helen's, where she plied me with the first alcohol I've had in months, a glass of merlot, and we chatted for awhile, and I dropped off the hot tub and picked up a couple of things I had forgotten before. Finally managed to make it back to camp where I poured myself another merlot (why not, I'm hardly taking any painkillers anymore, and I feel great!), can't decide if I want to take another shower or not, but I'm definitely heading to bed early because I have so much to do tomorrow. Really looking forward to heading to cooler temps, can't wait to be able to open windows and get fresh air! Skipping tea, heading to be shortly. Love you, darlin'! Good night!
