Yesterday morning we managed to convince Mr. Bull it was his idea to be penned.
He hopped into the awaiting trailer at exactly the appropriate moment.
We had a Hughesnet appointment between 11am and 2pm to upgrade our system.
We hurried back to the house to get breakfast and be ready.
At 3:00 we decided the appointment was not going to happen and went back to the cabin.
The filler on the water trough had quit and we replaced it.
There is an old much bigger trough that can be fixed.
A minuscule size project compared to what Stude is facing.
We started digging up the old water line in preparation.
As soon as we found the line T. Pilot's phone rang.
It was the technician saying he was still on his way.
Pilot gave him directions and said he would arrive in about an hour.
So we stopped our project and headed back to the house.
I did horse chores. cleaning stalls and readying feed and hay for when the horses decided to come in.
They are very slow in their response to being called up these days due to the spring grass.
I took care of Tonto's daily eye regime. Cleaning, medicating, photographing and updating Dr. Matt.
Still waiting and having a beverage on the front gallery, the tech finally showed up at 7 pm.
He left at 8:30 with still another "scheduled" appointment to attend.
I hope Face gets his techno issues resolved without much more waiting.
But I guess we all have time to wait things out these days.
Our official shelter in place order starts tomorrow.
It would seem the damage has already been done?
I will make a trip into town to check in at Help Center.
Also mail needs to be picked up and gas tank topped off.
We have a week of rain forecasted so outdoor work will have to be worked around precipitation if we get any.
A ride or two would be nice if the rain holds off.
Everyone be careful and enjoy your down time.
