Hey Babe!
Had another busy day today! The welder returned at 9:00 and promptly got busy finishing the wheel well job. After that I had him look at the bracket that locked the ladder on the trailer, that had ripped off some time ago, and he put some nice new screws in that. He also helped me get the new spare tire in place, it’s a very tight fit when it’s fully inflated, and finally, he helped me put some stuff up into the “attic,” including all the skirting I’ve been carrying around in the back of the truck, so now I’m all set up there. When he presented me with the bill, I couldn’t believe it! I actually rounded it up because I thought it was too low! And you know me, I’m stingy, but he did a great job and really undercharged me for it. Happy camper here!! As soon as he left, I made my way into town to get my mail, which, according to the tracking number, was right where it was supposed to be yesterday but wasn’t. Today it was. Apparently, because I put the actual post office address on there, (even though it was sent to General Delivery), it got sorted onto a mail truck that went out to deliver. Go figure. Anyway, I got my package for the upcoming trail ride, at last, along with some other stuff. One the way back, I stopped at Tractor Supply to fill up another propane tank and to pick up some feed, then straight back to camp, stuffed my face with one of Chris Cooley’s famous cinnamon rolls, then saddled up Flash to get in another conditioning ride. This time we went 11.2 miles, alternating between walking and running as much as the terrain would allow. I’ve been doing my homework on the ride, and the first day is a real bear, 26 miles, so we’re definitely going to have to pace ourselves. I’ve learned I can arrive on Saturday, which I’m inclined to do, just because I don’t like to travel on Sunday, and then Flash can rest on Sunday and be ready to go on Monday. Took care of a few other items that needed doing, then settled down for the evening. Had to put the AC on for a bit, we’ve gone from freezing at night a few days ago, today it was 90 degrees! One extreme to the other! Well, at least the humidity is really low, that helps a lot. Anyway, the day is done, I only have my Spanish lesson and a shower before I get to bed. Good night, my sweet! Love you!
