Yay its Friday.

Boss is gone,  the simulation is done.   The defective switch that caused extra work and stress for me and the official ops monitor last weekend and the whole team through Wednesday was replaced on Thursday.  Yesterday one of the horses was in pasture (had stepped over fence.   I let all horses out for a bit, while I organized supplies and replaced one broken off post and did a temp patch of the wires to that post with string, then called it good and told dad he had to help me fix fence on Friday.  Today I dug 3 post holes and Dad tamped in the posts and did most of the staples.   He was not going to tighten the one section of fence but I found where a splice was and proceeded and he helped me get that sorted and done.   Now that paddock fence should keep the horses in.  And since neighbor A helped dad fix the pasture fence a few weeks ago its not like we have to panic that horses will go through the pasture fence and be on the road if they do get out into the pasture overnight, but I still want to limit their grass and introduce it gradually.

Lady seems to be doing pretty well.  I will have vet look at her when he does vaccinations but I think she will be fine for D and her kids to ride this summer.  I am a bit nervous about vaccinating on Tuesday and planning to enter a ride on Saturday but it should be OK.  Tanza has not had reactions to the shots that I have noticed.

Wed I have to take my car in for servicing by 10 am and the boss has scheduled for me to join meeting to discuss how to work on next set of CWPD.  Well at least I was coming in early anyway but I don't know why I have to be in that meeting.  I was not wrestling with that group's data two years ago so I have no back knowledge.   Perhaps they want D to hand more of that work to me because they need him to get something else done,  who knows with the stupid chaotic management.

Group boss wanted me to give him raw data not plots for stats on Tuesday evening.  I did this but we run stats on two parameters and I ran the stats #s for the old parameter that *I* think of for stats and not for the newer parameter.  Then he didn't recognize that the numbers were normal for that old parameter and just tell me "I wanted the new parameter" but emailed me asking didn't I think the values were too small.   Finally he sent me a plot with "isn't this the normal?"  late Wed evening.   I hadn't registered myself that the raw #s didn't show in the header what parameter the stats are for but only the height level, mean, RMS and # of obs used.     Luckily since I still had all the tabs up I was able to generate what he wanted pretty quickly but I was not thrilled that he isn't familiar enough with both stats plots to have recognized "oh these are the old parameter and just asked me right away to generate the stats #s for the newer parameter instead of having to have the back and forth and me not get the info I needed to know what he wanted until so late.

Tomorrow and Sunday are the charity ride I like to do and then next weekend I am off to my first competition of the year.  I feel so ill prepared but I keep reminding myself that Tanza is a rock star and I will muddle through.  Its not like the course is horribly steep or long.  I loved it last year for a first ride of the season.
