Wednesday

I awoke to a storm.
A real honest to goodness thunder storm.
It was glorious.
I laid there for ages just listening to it.
I opened the blinds so I could see as much of the forest storm as possible.
And got to see a squirell running up a tree for my trouble.
Did I mention I saw a turtle yesterday? There was a turtle just chillin' in the woods.
Anyway, I finally got up and dragged Emma with me.
I was trying to wait for the rain to let up before I went in, but realized I'd be waiting forever.
So in we went, and Emma handled the rain quite admirably.
It looked as though it was going to be a lazy morning in the rain.
And it pretty much was.
We worked on his broken car, he fiddled and I looked for tech guides. I found them and downloaded them to his computer.
He fiddled some more, and then a delivery arrived.
After a while, he gave up on his and came to see mine.
We took it out to the porch to drive it around because it was so small.
The sucker's fast.
It does all kinds of silly things. And the batteries last forever.
My dad really liked it; Emma really hated it.
We took a break for a while and took the mule around.
Up at the field, we looked for the missing fallen RC parts. As we searched and tried not to get eaten by mud, Emma ran around like a gazelle hopping through the wet forest. It was hilarious.
And of course, another trip to the mailbox. Emma also really likes riding in the mule. Guess she likes the wind in her hair.
But all that wet caught up to her and I had to stick her under blankets to get her warm again.
I was just thoroughly pleased it was finally cool outside.
It even rained more later.
But it was mostly cars and the mule. Not that I mind taking it easy.
Just wish I could have taken more naps.

Thursday
Right after I got to the trailer, it started to rain. And rained for a while.
Got everything packed and ready to go.
In the morning, Emma had to be pulled out of bed.
And I was so ready to be home.
He actually talked to Janet in a way that made me ashamed. Nobody should be talking to their wife like that. Yuck.
Long morning. Long drive. Long wait.
Then security and I was away.
With a severely delayed flight. Well crap.
And I just remembered I said I would film on Saturday.
I just want to sleep.
And I REALLY hope the plane isn't hot....
