Hi Sweetheart,
Woke up to a cooler morning, actually got below 60 last night! Fall must be on the way. Dave delivered the Truckster to me, but it was having some issues, and I ended up only being able to do one small load with it before it crapped out on me. It stopped partly in the road, so I pulled the truck over and towed it into the yard. Then I hooked up the trailer and backed it next to the far paddock, and spent the day moving limbs two or three times. Out of the first paddock, over the fence, then moved it again onto the trailer. Once the first paddock was clear, I moved to the second paddock, where my horses are, and threw the stuff over the first fence, then over the second fence, then finally onto the trailer. Slow going today, for sure! Took me a long time just to fill one trailer load, and by then I was pretty exhausted, so once I dumped that I quit for the day, around 2:00. All I had energy for today! I eventually went back to see if the Truckster would start again, and found the battery completely dead! So I got out my handy jump-starter and after a bunch of tries, finally got it going. I drove it around the yard a few times and it improved a little, but it’s obviously not going to be very reliable. When Dave came by later, he said the battery needed to be disconnected or it would drain, and I explained it had already done that, which surprised him that it took such a short time. He thought it might be the alternator, but then I explained that I had started it a couple of times after running around the yard a few times, so I didn’t think that was it. Anyway, hopefully it will start next time I try to run it. Had dinner, and finally received my package in the mail (I’ve been waiting all day!) and got my new little 6 inch mini chainsaw. Put the first battery on charge, though they seem to be pretty full, but apparently they only take about two hours to charge anyway, so that’s good! I was hoping we had access to a bush hog, that would be the best way to finish off these paddocks, but apparently we don’t, so I’m not sure what to do next, probably just keep going in and getting smaller and smaller pieces, especially if that Truckster starts working better. Meanwhile, though, now that I have my chainsaw, I want to take a ride tomorrow and see what kind of shape the trails are in, not sure if anyone’s had time to look at them yet, figure I can start on it if there’s a need. Finally settled down for the evening, won’t be long out of bed tonight! Good night, baby! Love you!
