Wednesday, February 14, 2024 – Another Step Forward

Hey Babe,
I keep getting up a little earlier, and Rick keeps showing up a bit earlier, so he's always a bit ahead of me! Was finishing breakfast when he arrived with a great big trench digger, and after a bit of practice, it only took him a few minutes to put in the trench we needed for the power and water. Then he and Jerry ran back to the shop for PVC pipe, and before long we had that and the electric cable laid out. We dug the holes for two posts, then they all went out to lunch. While they were gone, I dug a couple more postholes, and then went to start my truck because I wanted to run it over the gravel area and try to tamp it down a bit, but my truck wouldn't start! I had noticed that lately it was cranking a bit longer before catching, but I didn't think I had that much of a drain on it, but apparently, I do somewhere. I got my jump starter out and managed to get it going, then I did run over the area a bit, which helped to tamp it down, then I parked my truck by the trailer and put my battery charger on it. It seemed to be down quite a bit. I checked and found out these batteries are about four and a half years old already, seems like it wasn't that long ago when I bought them! Hopefully, it's not the batteries going bad, at least, not yet. I unplugged the brake controller, I've noticed that's been giving me an error so it might be responsible, I'll have to wait and see. After a while, the guys got back, and they decided they were done for the day and left, so I spent the afternoon reading and working on my computer. Did my afternoon chores, dinner, TV, the usual evening, back to Eureka bingeing. Everybody's off tomorrow so there won't be anything happening here, except maybe they'll come and fix the tire on the tractor, so I made an appointment to get my eyes checked and to pick up hay, then I'm going to a meeting of a local group that's doing an event next month to see how I can help. Looks like a busy day, at least in the afternoon, so I may just sleep a little later in the morning! Anyway, we're making progress, albeit slower than I hoped, but I'll be moving soon, I'm sure. Good night, sweetie! Love you!
