Well, take care of yourself and turn the heat up.


Eeek. I better go help my honey with stalls. We have to get horses in.

Thanks! The heat is turned up and feels good.

I had to laugh when I read a post above about how we horse owners had it made when we started out. When I got my first horse I did not have a truck, trailer, saddle or even a halter to lead it with. Nor a place to keep it. I had to hire a guy with a cattle trailer to haul it to a stable for me. I hauled my feed and hay to it in the back of a Toyota Celica. My first truck was bought at a junk yard and had spent it's first life as a coal hauling truck. It was beat up and banged all over but with a good battery it cranked and ran. I bought it as a 3/4 ton but while writing the bill of sale the seller determined it to be a one ton truck that had been special ordered by the coal company. It was so battered that when you hit a bump in the road coal dust would fall out from underneath the dash. Also the bed would flop up and down because only two bolts were holding it to the frame. There have been no regrets about my truck and it took me anywhere and would haul one ton loads with ease. I still have the truck to this day but it looks much better now with some repairs........... : )
