Wednesday, October 13, 2021 – First Ride at McIntosh, Fixed the Computer

Hi Babe!
Woke up to a very thick fog today, so after chores, I did a few things around the house, waiting for the fog to lift. Once it did, I saddled up Apollo, since he hasn’t been ridden in a couple of weeks now, and headed out for about a five mile loop, along the river first, then through the woods. It’s really pretty here, and it’s small enough to not get lost once you get the lay of the land. There are NO trail markers here, and lots of shortcuts that lead to the same place, so it can be challenging for a stranger, but since I was here last year, I know them well enough to not freak out about it. No boots were necessary and the grades are fairly tame, so Lola and I had a good time. Not too many people here at the moment, but one of the staff came by to warn me that there’s a HUGE event this weekend, and that I wouldn’t be able to get out if I wanted to, which is fine since I’m not leaving on Monday. He warned me, though, that it’s POSSIBLE that the organizer will want me to move out of the park, or at least to another place in the park, because they had rented the entire area out! Not really relishing the idea that I might have to pack up and move a quarter mile just to stay out of their way, but he seemed to think the organizer would probably be too busy to notice I’m even here, way down on the other end of the field! Fingers crossed! Later in the day, he was kind enough to deliver my Amazon package to me, and I’ve managed to install a new keyboard on my laptop, yay! Wasn’t hard, but the silly thing was missing two out of six screws, so I had to cannibalize the old one to replace those. The action is a little different, but I’ll get used to that. I’m just glad to have all my keys working again! Now I’ve caught up on my blog, I’ll be settling in before long, so I’ll say good night now. Love you, sweetie!
