A domesticated horse's diet does not allow for even wear of its teeth, creating sharp ridges on the sides. The process to smooth the ridges is called floating, and requires a special tool attached to a drill. U.S. Army photo by Amanda Kim Stairrett

Good evening, Kathy!
*HUGS*
Thanks very much for tonight's Remembering Out Troops thread! Just got back from PT - an arduous session! How are things with you today? Isn't this your big push?

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Yes, Wednesday’s are the big day. We got the checks printed on time, but I had so many corrections I didn’t have time to make all of them. So far none will starve if they have to wait til their next check. Of the 3 I’ve identified so far, 2 were submitted wrong.
Did you pass your PT tests? Your back feeling any better?
I am off for home!

Oh my...one of the Moms was really evil to me about her kid (and she fired me)
Everybody else LOVED the recital, so she was in a minority of one. Which is a REALLY slim minority, right?
The ankle is much better, thank you.

Back's not bad tonight, thanks! PT went pretty well.
Safe Journey Home!

Made it home, but had to sit in construction traffic. I think it is time to try an alternate route. I’ll miss seeing the daily change, but I hate sitting.
Glad the back is not so bad.

That’s a much nicer way to find out than by killing a Wabbit.
Especially On Warm and fuzzy Wednesday!
