Hiya Babe,
A lousy night sleep for the second night in a row, so I woke up tired, unfortunately. Which means I've been running on adrenaline most of the day trying to get everything done. Up bright and early, was on the road not long after 8:00, first stopping at Apex and Buck Pond trailheads to glue the plaques on the final two mounting blocks. Next stop was the DMV, where I sat for nearly 90 minutes (surprise, surprise), just to change the address on my license and registrations, only to be turned down because the insurance company has never gotten around to adding those three little digits I need to match the address the SS has. So that was a bust. I made it just in time to get my haircut, a nice short cut designed to get me through the summer, then filled up with diesel (glad to see it back down to a more reasonable price), then to my mailbox, then to Ace Hardware to the return the coax cable ends I couldn't use for the radio antenna, then to Advance Auto to pick up a battery for the Buick. By that time it was late enough to get down to Kelly's to have them look at the AC that's not working (it takes a long time to get cold), which took nearly an hour, and was told the reason was because it had been overcharged! I got the impression he didn't believe me when I said no one but his guys have touched it since I had the AC done, but whatever, it works much better now! It's been in the upper 90's with a heat index well over 100, so it's been pretty unpleasant trying to work outside. From there I went to Winn Dixie to get some chicken (only because I forgot when I went by Walmart), then back to the DMV because I THOUGHT I might have solved the problem by changing my banking address, but after multiple phone calls with multiple promises, turns out nothing will get to me before tomorrow, which will be too late. Grrrr! Guess I'll have to get it through the mail anyway. Finally left there, stopped at Jo's to give her my mailbox key, then to the folks who have the Buick to drop off the battery, then finally back to camp, where I moved all the remaining hay out of the way, put the last bale in the back of the truck, and got all lined up so I only have to drop it on in the morning. I finally had to take a break just to get a drink and relax, when I got an email about my Coggins and health certificates. I had forgotten about them, so I took the time to print them up. Eventually had dinner, fed the horses, put some more stuff away including the patio rug, and now, at last, I'm calling it quits for the night. I'm going to take a shower and get to bed VERY early, with my sights on getting up at the crack of dawn (or even earlier) tomorrow so I can have a more leisurely drive. It's about 400 miles, which is more than I typically like to drive, but most of it is freeway, so it shouldn't be bad. Looking forward to seeing how my new axles and brakes work. Whew! That's enough! Good night, sweetheart (even though it's not even close to being dark yet)! Love you!
