Kinda slow in here this morning.

Morning all. More wiring today. Mrs. DAB will be painting.

Yea, but it is a Sat. on a holiday weekend! Peeps are either enjoying sleeping in or getting a jump on weekend projects like DAB.^

Morning Doug! Have fun doing the wiring, remember power off! :D

Mornin' Ms Wendy! How are ya today??



Hi and good morning to the barn! :seeya:

Kind of exciting with live wires!!

Yep. Main breaker off.

3 circuits done, 1 just needs outlets installed, and need to finish running conduit and pull wires for 2 more.

I'm good and on my second cup of coffee!http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/s...smiley-emo.gif

Found this thread floundering down near the bottom of the page. I think it is still alive.


Thinking about going and getting some wings and beer. Anyone else around?

:shots:

I went spelunking today.

Pics?

Have to get them uploaded. Probably after supper, which is probably burning. :leaving:

Pics of burnt dinnah?

I hope this isn't about searching for a lost watch/ring.

BBQ ribs and hotlinks...................

MMMmmmmm...... Ribs......

Nope. No rings and the watch rarely leaves my arm.

Need to SSS before I head out.

more wiring today, ran out of conduit, need one 10' piece. :slap: need to install outlets in 2 circuits and finish running conduit and pull wire in last circuit. about 4 hours of work remaining. :hurray::hurray:

then time to turn on the juice and see what happens. :leaving: then time to clean and move stuffs in. be making sawdust in about a week.

Evening Everyone!

Just got home from the BBQ and horseback riding...what a great day!!

Thanks and you are welcome. Don't fry anything until it's time to cook supper.

:hi:

Hey Kelly, what are you doing for the holiday weekend?

No set plans for the next 2 days. Just trying to not spend money.

I'll probably go back up the stable and ride again late tomorrow afternoon :).
And Monday I'll head up to Pocono visit with people and hopefully catch a ride with an instructor friend...it will do for a substitute to a kink in my original plans :)

Have fun and be safe.:cheers:

:hi: Everybody!

Hiya Sista Laurie!

How is Buzzy? Sounds like you had a wonderful afternoon! :D

:hi:

Hi Kelly, how are you?

Headache building. :beat: You?

Heya Sista Dawn!!

He's doing ok...not too happy with all this attention err riding he's getting :lol:
Been doing about 20 mins of groundwork to get him moving, then I'm on his back for about an hour...just walking maybe in 2 weeks I'll try trotting with him. Don't want to push him too hard off the start :)

4.5 months later...

http://i53.tinypic.com/34j3xpu.jpg

That's not good. :( Hopefully you can get it before it gets you.

I'm thinking that muscles I've forgotten I have are going to be screaming at me tomorrow. Darrin and I picked up almost 70 of those blocks used to make retaining walls and 25 of the smaller decorative bricks yesterday. We mowed after we got home so they didn't get unloaded off the truck until today. Then I pulled up the 30 or so bricks that were the border around the tree I'm working on. I will regret this tomorrow. :lol:

Haha! I'm sure he's not too happy with the attention err riding. :lol:
Sounds like you're doing everything right for him though. Just don't forget the carrots and hugs and Auntie Dawn. :D By the end of the summer you guys will be running with the best of them. :cheers:

Awwww!! What a beautiful kittah!

I'm trying to do right by him :) He loved the carrots and the "Winnie's cookies" I gave him from you :). I just don't want to push him too hard too soon. I know this will be a drawn out process, I'm guessing 2 months before I really see different in his top line.


Aw, Thor's a cutie!

If you keep going the way you are, you'll notice more than just his top line improving. :) I wish I had some good before and after pics of Lady. Before being when she was still at Frank's being the 'forgotten mare'. (She wasn't as exciting as the studs so she kind of got overlooked). And after I had her for a few months. After the exercise and TLC she looked like a different horse. It was definitely a labor of love. :lol:

I've been walking him bare back...don't know which saddle will be more comfortable for him the western or my english one when I move him up to trot. Which do you recommend?

I would think the western with a nice thick saddle bad. You might even get one of those special pads that go under the regular saddle pad made for horses that need to be 'built up', if that doesn't make it too thick. I think the English saddle might put more pressure along the top line. Of course you could just continue riding bare back! :lol::rofl:

Don't think I want to try trotting bare back....I see me spending time on the ground (there's not enough safety equipment to try that!) :rofl:
I think the english is easier to trot with...but I'll manage with the western for his comfort :)

:rofl: Where's your sense of adventure? :lol: I never used a saddle when I was a kid. I rode bareback until I bought my Palomino QH and started boarding at a regular stable. When I started working him for the show ring I had to use a saddle. But I see your point. :lol:

Yes, the first consideration must be his comfort. :D Just think of the upper body workout you get every time you hoist the western saddle up on his back! :lol:

Someone is playing music on the other side of town that I can feel in my room.:beat:

That's enough to give you a headache!

:iagree: Inconsiderate people. I had some older folks complaining to me about it. Must be the former police car I drive.

My sense of adventure left about 5 years ago :rofl:
Yup...time to start eating my Wheaties :lol:
Nothing like hoisting 20-30 over your head and down to his back :lol:...he's gonna see that saddle and be like WTF????:willy: Damn it woman you lost your mind!!

:rofl::lol::rofl:

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I think he already thinks you've lost your mind! :lol:

Its kind of neat how much more responsive he is when I just hop on his back...today he was great! Moving off the slightest leg pressure and subtlest movements of the reigns/lead line ( I ride him in his rope halter and his lead line are my reigns). In the saddle...he's a constant fight :(

He hasn't had a bit in his mouth for probably 3-4 yrs.

Good morning! :seeya:

:hi:

Already? :willy:

Good morning
Kerry
Kelly
or should it be
Kelly
Kerry
or just
Kerly
?

:slap:

Ouch! I probably needed that... :D

So.....what's for breakfast? I'm thinking the cute girls at Taco Bueno should serve me this morning.

The cute girls are always a bonus. Saw a cute Amish girl yesterday.

Like Kelly McGillis in the movie "Witness"?

Hey look...It's the Barn Raising!

Cuter. Probably won't turn quite so hideous when she gets older.

......me neither! :thumbs:

:rofl:
Do you neck reign or need leg pressure too? :lol:

Morning Kermie!!
How are you?

all of the above and I love to be ridden! Hi LG, hope your horsie gets in better shape quickly. Are you having a good holiday weekend?:D

So far its been great!! Horses, BBQ and the mountain background...yeah life is good :D Tomorrow...race cars and the smell of racing fuel and burning brakes, could only be better if I was going to be driving on the track myself, I'm pretty sure Steve, Wes, Quentin or Rick will take me out for a session tho :D


How's your weekend going so far?

Not as much fun as yours! I'm fixing our fridge, and it's raining on and off. And it's not a long weekend up here, we had ours last week. Have fun, I'm back to the grind.......:D

Sometimes the "people you may know" listing on FB pops up a good one.

:kick:

Yeah thats going to hurt Monday:D glad you got a few nice days to work outside.:cheers: tell Darrin I said hello.:cheers:

What's for lunch?

leftover chili, with some ritz crackers crushed up in it...mmmmm....

Beef. It does the body good.

I had leftover BBQ ribs. Just like stew and meatloaf, I think BBQ is better after the flavors have a day or two to blend.

Anybody home?

:seeya:

HI Carl!

How are you enjoying the holiday weekend?

Hey Laurie!

It isn't any different than any other weekend to me. Been retired for quite a while, so they are all the same to me.

That said, Today I have worked my azz off cleaning the cars, replumbing the one-year-old kitchen sink/reversosomsisthingy and taking care of the Great Danes.

Time for a shower and plan dinner.

Talk to ya later Carl!

Got the wiring in the shop all done, save for one circuit in the finishing room. Ran out of conduit. Will wrap up tomorrow. Then time to clean up and build some work benches. :hurray:

Work benches? Big, small, wood...?

Medium to large. 2x framing, 3/4" ply tops with Formica. About 6 to start. Not fancy, functional.

With shelves?

Some with shelves, others with drawers.

today's little visitor:
