Regards
The ponies he's working now are coming along - but he has a different trainer now (Hank is pushin 75 so he doesn't break'm anymore but helps train'm), so we'll see. He had 4-5 in 2003 that were sweet! if you weren't squeezing and leaning just right the suckers would cut right out from under you - just like the cartoons! Horse one way or the other to follow the head - and you could wind up on your butt!! He had an Appaloosa cross that was just fantastic and a damn fine looking pony :t: I wanted it, but no room where I live now :smile: (and no I didn't get dumped, but it was close!!! :wink: )
Weather is strange all over. We're dry for the season here in Virginia (<2" since Christmas), but it's wetter in Georga - Hank (my uncle) is just north of Houston and is selling off cattle because theres been no rain and no graze :-| Kinda really screwed up hay production too so he'll have a smaller herd this winter :smile:
Sister and brother-in-law are nearer the fires in Oklahoma and can smell the smoke drifting eastwards.
And my nephew say's he's freezing his butt off in Iraq? Strange, didn't get that cold when I was there :-|
Deer hunting can be a challange. With the dry we've had, not a lot of mast for them to work on where we go hunting. But it was damned cold this year. From the 18th to 28 November, we were waking up with sub-freezing temps - 8 to 10C INSIDE the camper!!! Good thing I have a warm bag, but my eyeballs hurt in the AM, guess they were trying to freeze :shock: Day time was 5 to 16C which made the animals mostly campout in the shadows and not move. Heavy winter fur and warm temps - they wanted to stay cool, but when they left and started moving ... well, this one decided to follow me home and jump in the freezer =D>
Not big, but tastey =D>
OK, gotta got to work, well I'm at work, so I guess I gotta start doing something :mrgreen:
