It might be the overall file size... maybe it has something to do with your video card or memory... that big files are just too much... I dunno!

Outdoor fish tank update... I got some feeder goldfish... they were only 19 cents ;~)

The food cost more than the fish.

I'll probably bring them inside around the end of October early November... Back out in the spring... or into a big stock tank if they've gotten too big :~)

[HairOfTheDog]

In other news... we stopped at Petsmart and bought a tag for Barkley with his name and phone number on it, so I guess it’s official.

And we stopped at a garage sale where I bought a puzzle. I’ll be doing that all afternoon. :~)

[Duchess47]

The goldfish look good there. Have fun with the puzzle.

I think it is a size thing on the videos.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

OK, I took a nap:), then tried those videos again and it worked this time.

Duchess, the way you describe them loading on your computer is the way they use to do it here too, but I don’t know why:)

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Those are fun! Glad you have the connection to share stuff like that now. :~) And view ours...

Now we just have to get Duchess on board... ;~)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Your’ getting quit a dog pack:) Does he stay in the house, or outside mostly?

I like your fish tank. You maybe could leave it outside all year. I had a friend who kept fish in her water tank and it would freeze but the fish survived. they got really big in the tank.

Becky

I’m going to have to try taking a longer one. As fast as they load it’s not such a big deal.

I’m really having a problem with Harley trying to eat the whole time I ride, and not sure how to correct it other then giving a bump on the rein, or a kick with the spur. I’ve never had one as bad as he is being. I’m worried about for when you are here, he can be very annoying. I’m thinking he’s doing it because the grass along the trail is just so so tall that he can reach it easier, and it’s so tempting. With all the rain we have had, the grass is just right there in his face.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I meant to add, I love puzzles too and when I have one going, I can barely walk away from it:)

Maybe I’ll have one set up and ready to work when you get here for the evenings while we are sitting around visiting before everyone gets here:)

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Sounds good :~)

I’ve got the puzzle set up here on our desk, so I just have to spin around to answer pings :~)

I think for Harley, bumping him is about the only thing if he’s doing it too much... Cyn’s been doing that too... mostly just the stuff that’s easy to reach, whether it’s really good to eat or not ;~)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Puzzles were the main reason I always wanted a table in the living room. So I could work on the puzzle and be in there with the rest of the family. It’s funny how when I’ve got one going in there even company sit down and work on it for a while. I like having one to do while I watch TV. It’s hard for me to sit for long periods just watching TV. But I mostly only do them in the winter.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - I always have some kind of movie on while I put it together, though I'm sortof turned around the wrong way to actually watch. It's a 1000 piece, so it may take me all evening, but I prolly won't sleep till it's done. :~)

Tweek found it pretty interesting... I booted her when she started pawing around in the box. ;~\

On Barkley... he's in and out... he loves to lay in a sun spot, but he's inside on his bed now. The door's open so he can come and go. :~)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

My cat has destroyed my puzzles numerous times:\

Be sure to show us a picture when it’s done:)

I got on a kick a few years back buying Charles Wysocki (sp), puzzles. I’ve got about 6 of them.

Becky

[Beaker]

I love puzzles too. Since I’ve moved, I need to find a table that’s strictly for puzzles and keep it away from the cats. (Fat chance, I know)

[Beaker]

[HairOfTheDog]

LOL...:~D

[HairOfTheDog]

I’ve never actually bought many puzzles new... maybe some that were presents. I’d go buy a whole pile of them at Goodwill for 50 cents or $1 each and do those, then take them back to Goodwill and turn them back in and get more. So I’ve done a lot of different types, never know what you’re gonna get. :~)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Good morning:)

Well, we will for sure be getting on Rocky this evening. Jenny is coming up to ride Dot, she is getting her ready for their vacation. I am going to saddle him before she gets here and let him stand awhile. I’ll be sure to get pictures and videos:)

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Very good!

I actually put the puzzle back in the box last night without finishing it. It was an irritating design, LOL... it has ‘ski tracks’ all through it where there straight and curved edges so it didn’t interlock well, and the cats were gonna keep messing it up so I said ‘phooey’! I was tired of it.

I like good interlocking pieces so you can slide and turn it around without it coming all apart.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Me, too, I don’t like those type puzzles that have pieces that don’t hook together. I like to leave them together for awhile so I carry them over to the dining room table to keep out for awhile.
