The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread! - Thread 11

Posted on 01/02/2007 9:57:39 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - (very out of date) Who's Who *pics*

This is a horse chat thread where we share ideas, ask for input from other horsemen, and talk about our riding and horse-keeping. We have a lot of different kinds of riders and horses, and a lot to share. In the previous threads we have had a great time talking through lessons, training, horse lamenesses, illnesses and pregnancies... and always sharing pictures and stories.

I always have a link to this thread on my profile page, so if you have something to say and can't find the thread in latest posts… look for it there and wake the thread up!

I also have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and MissTargets will now be pinging everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list. As FreeRepublic is a political site, our politics and other issues will probably blend in…. There are many issues for horsemen that touch politics… land use, animal rights/abuse cases that make the news…. Legislation that might affect horse owners.

So... like the previous threads, this is intended as fun place to come and share stories, pictures, questions and chit-chat, unguided and unmoderated and that we come together here as friends. There are lots of ways of doing things and we all have our quirks, tricks and specialties that are neat to learn about.

Looks terrific :~) I wouldn't ever take out tile, it looks like it's in good shape, and I like the fixtures, I think we picked the same ones for our bathroom at the beach house :~)

Hey, I love your bathroom, even the tile:) I really like the fixtures too, really nice.

I'm loading pictures now of the finished bedroom, well almost finished, I still need some nicknacky type stuff, and some things for the wall. And I have a few pieces of white furniture, a standing mirror, table and corner wall cabinet that I'm going to paint, but that will be for later, maybe this weekend if it rains. I have the paint so it will get done:)

Oh and I need the curtains.

Becky

Thanks, it is going to be sore for awhile.

Question for you two. Do you order your prints from Snapfish? Today, I ordered a bunch and noticed that they keep all the downloads. That is great, because I like to clear out "My Pictures" once I have ordered prints. Us "fraggers" don't want anything to bog down our PC's...What I was wondering is, are they in fact out of my system and in their's? Sometimes I get confused on what I have ordered before and do not want double prints on everything. I didn't see where you could clear out their site of your pictures. Have you guys ever did that? Clear their site of your pictures.

Yes, we order prints from Snapfish... Your albums will stay on snapfish, that you uploaded, but you can also delete the albums or individual pictures from there if you want.

As far as whether to delete them from your computer, no, they aren't gone from there unless you delete them... I don't think they should bog you down, get a bigger hard drive! storage space is really cheap!

Hey thanks for the info. There was no use keeping a lot of pictures on Snapfish once I have ordered the prints. I will have to clear that up. No use ordering prints I already have.

My hard drive is only a year old, so I should be ok for awhile. But, that's a good thought...more space! :)

That is nice. I bought knobs kind of like that too but they are black. When mine gets finished I'll post pics. We did bust out the ceramic tile on the floor. I have a new vanity but it isn't hooked up. My husband and I argue about that but I'm standing strong. Once he hooks it up, that will be it. It isn't going in until the walls finished and the tile down. We are also arguing about the walls. I want them tiled. He wants them painted but he doesn't have to clean them. I think we have reached a shaky truce. The shower and the commode area will be tiled and the vanity area painted. And I wonder why we can't get this job done:')

The Walmart bag idea is a really good one. I'll give it a try. when I wear tall boots, usually I wear nylons instead of socks. Makes life a lot easier. (Kind of)

I just use the kind that you buy in pairs that you pull on. Not the ones that go all the way up... (You all know what I mean... just can't think of a girlie way to describe it)

I wear the support hose that go all the way up, the kind that keep anything from jiggling :~)

hey - we just did something I've wanted to do since the storms last month, we went up to the trail head and walked to the river. You won't believe the number of downed trees... I've never seen a real hurricane, but it sure looks like a one hit it up there. The first ride this spring is going to be real interesting!

I'm uploading a few trailwalk pics :~)

They wish! If I could teach them to flush, wouldn't that be nifty?

With winter, the saddle club gets a little slow. Subjects can change without prior notice....

Trailwalk pictures! Ugh, there's a lot of downed trees. They've already been out and pretty much cleared the trail with chainsaws though... It's gonna be a little interesting for Bay first time out... he finds the cut log ends to be a little alarming sometimes. The only good news is, if he's jumping both ways at once, he pretty much stays on trail, LOL.

Down at the creek itself, not a lot of change... it's pretty protected down there.

These are on the way back to the trailhead... This is gonna be a little tricky on horseback if they don't get that root out of there.

And then back at the trailhead... it looks pretty good, really :~)

So we're looking forward to checking it out further come spring! I just wonder, if these fairly low areas are that broken, what those upper hills must look like where the wind must have ~really~ been blowing.

(Hope I didn't post too many pictures!) I was just stuned in my beeber. I'm so glad Becky saw it ~last~ year, I'd be really depressed if she was coming this year when it's going to be such a mess, I bet much of the forest will have salvage logging going on all summer. :~\

Oh wow, that sure is a mess. At least they have done some clearing.
You think they will drag those logs out or let them lay?
