Not to change the subject or anything, but I just found this link over on the Gaited horse forum and it is SO cool. It’s apparently either a tribute or an advertisement for this bullfighting horse named Merlin. He is absolutely wicked fast and totally AWSOME to watch, although you might not want to watch it if you can’t stand bull fighting.

Oooh - I'm a little queezy about bullfighting... is it bad?
Here's a final update... for today, on the mole issue. I'll check out that stuff. I'm thinking of calling a mole removal guy and asking him how much?
Well, we've been out playing with it... we didn't make a sink-hole, I almost wish we would have! At least I'd know where all the water went. It ran from around 10 till almost 2, and was showing no sign of slowing down.
I didn't like the look of those wood snags at all for horses getting feet caught in them... so we cut them away, at least...
I don't know what we learned.
We gave up and filled it in... for now.

...wondering if you were filling up your septic tank or field lines with hose water...Ah - I wish! Because the drain field is failing, and it'd be super if I could connect it up to this apparently bottomless hole ;~).

The bullfight video wasn't all that bad to me. It was basically this guy basically doing the Picador, bullfighting thing on horseback and staying
JUST in front of the bull's horns, at full blast. Sideways, backwards, circling, the whole nine yards. It was amazing how fast that horse could spin and travel sideways. He wasn't even using reins most of the time, and he'd reach down and pet the bull on the head as they were running sideways. It was a gorgeous Palomino horse too.
With the mole hole, I guess you learned that you could run water (and money) into a hole in the ground indefinately. ;o)

I don't know if it's helping me or not. But I'm going to let it run all day...The problem with trying to drown the critters is that when they make their tunnels they will make false tunnels that go up so they can escape water, rain or hose.
To: HairOfTheDog
But I'm going to let it run all day...They would be fining you $250 here in Alabama for excessive water usage! LOL. We are in stage 4 drought.

Pippin discovers that the monster is tethered, and therefore ~tauntable~Too funny, my cat taunts my dogs whenever possible. Fun to watch.
To: BladeRider
We’re not in a drought. Nor does it cost anything... really... we pay a flat fee for well maintenance to the store. Water, we’ve got lots of... Want me to send you some? How much hose would we need?
It’s probably ran right back to the well from whence it came :~D

A lot of people use it to get rid of Japanese Beetle larvaeI thought the grubs were the Japaneses Beetle larvae?
To: HairOfTheDog
Oh, well you’ve got it made then. Heck, hose away!

How much hose would we need?A couple thousand miles worth at least!
To: BladeRider
Well, they are, but there may be other kinds of grubs down there too.

That is a remarkable video, we watched it. I don’t like bullfighting, but it does look like that horse and his rider, put on a heck of a show. They’re both great.
To: FrogInABlender
Well, they are, but there may be other kinds of grubs down there too.My dog think they are a delicacy, yuck!
To: HairOfTheDog
It was like watching a great cutting horse, only the horse REALLY had a reason to move.

Yeah, my old English Setter did too. She’d sit out there with me when I was planting flowers and just wait for me to dig one up. SLURP...down the hatch it went.
