Priddy Trip Day 2: Poop and No Showers

Run: 60 min with Basketball/Tennis Colin and Louisa. Brad and Erin started out with us, but Brad went far ahead and Erin dropped back. We got up at 6:15 and caught the sunrise. It was a gorgeous run. When we got back I hosed off under the pump.

We had an accident right after breakfast. The two farm dogs, Chai and Holly, slammed into Kate and she went down saying, "I think my knee is broken." It looked wrong. Turns out she dislocated her kneecap, and an ambulance was called. She got back from the hospital in time for lunch.
I mucked with B/T Colin and Dominique from 8 AM until 1 PM minus lunch break. Basically we raked poop and put it in the cart behind the mini-tractor. It wasn't too bad, and the horses came up to us to smell us and nuzzle us while we did it.
When the cart was full, Zack (the old farmer dude in charge) asked if we wanted to come along , and fertilize the back pastures with it, saying, "It's really fun." Yeah, okay. So I got in the cab with Zack. Zack turned the jaws on and dry clots of manure began to fly out like a spurting fountain. B/T Colin and Dom were in the truck bed. Over the roar they were shouting, "This is better than fireworks!" Then Zack turned it on full power and B/T Colin and Dom were pelted with pieces. They grabbed a board and used it like a shield. Safe behind a glass pane, I laughed my head off. Zack finished spreading and turned it off, saying innocently, "Wasn't that fun - I mean - Gee, fellows. That's never happened before."

After lunch I went with the guys and pounded in fencing. It was really hard and hot out, but at least I was stronger than Dominique. All the pounding rattled our brains.
Then we went swimming at the owner's pool and it was great. Tommy ate a chlorinated bug for two Pride Points. He made a huge fuss about it.
Then I got a migraine. So I took Advil and had a nap with Kate, who was feeling sick from the morphine probably. Miraculously, I woke up at dinnertime and the headache was gone. Everyone bonded over dinner. We played a dream jobs game and Eliza wrote down Astronaut just like me.

This night we got smart and moved our things into the barn. Then I ate a LIVE GRASSHOPPER, and was awarded three Pride Points. It was salty and kind of gross. The guys could be getting tired of me one-upping them. Kritika and Tommy were like, "Don't you ever lose anything? Aren't you bad at anything?"
