Tuesday, May 31, 2022 – Back on The Trail Painting

Hey Babe,
Happy to report that I had a much better sleep last night, and was feeling rested when I woke up early, so I got up and got the day started. After chores and breakfast, I gathered all of my painting supplies and headed out to work on mostly the yellow trail, though I also did some sections of red and a little white. Working with this kind of paint works a whole lot better than the spray paint, and I also did a lot of clearing and pulling down some vines. I was out there from about 8:30 until past 4:00, then I was close to running out of bottled water so I headed back to camp. Got back by 4:30 exhausted and dehydrated. Drank lots of Gatorade, tea and nectar mix and sat in the air conditioning until I was re-hydrated, then went out to clean up the tractor. It’s impossible to work with bucket paint without getting it all over everything, and unfortunately, on the way back down the grade, my yellow bucket bounced out of the loader and I crushed it before I had time to stop, so no more yellow! Left a nice puddle in the road, though. There wasn’t a huge amount left, but I’ll have to get some more before I can finish the job. No worries, though, I have a lot more painting to do before I need to worry about coming back to yellow. Once I finished cleaning up the tractor I took a shower, since “everything” also meant me, and I had to use a fingernail brush to get it all off me. Had dinner, fed the horses, did my rounds, then settled down for the evening. Since I’ve already had my shower, I’ll be going to bed early. I’m reading a Dean Koontz book now and it’s keeping me intrigued, so I’ll be reading for awhile before I get to sleep. I’m liking this early to bed, early to rise schedule, I just need to do more of it! Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
