Brand New Grandson

As of today we have a brand new grandson.  Our 2 sons now have 2 sons each.  That's 4 grandsons DNA related.  In addition we have 2 grandsons, 2 granddaughters and 1 great grandson by mutual agreement.

How Dumb

My mare has a fairly long forelock. For the non-horse people that's the part of the mane the grows between the ears and the top of the forehead.  On my girl it reaches to her eyes.  She keeps getting her forelock matted with tiny little burs from somewhere in the field.  Twice I've cleaned the little buggers out while she was in a cross tie.  She absolutely hated that.  Today I left her in the stall for the procedure, and she stood quietly the whole time. Afterwards I realized why.

In the cross tie I had to work from straight in front, and so stood rather close.  Horses can't see close and directly in front, and not at all directly behind.  In the stall I was standing to the side where she can see.  How dumb of me.

Commies

“Twenty-eight percent of Democrats say Americans should be prohibited by law from belonging to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA.”

The same poll shows 32 percent of Democrat voters support “declaring the gun rights group a terrorist organization in the community where they live.”

Unamerican, unconstitutional and communistic.

Surgery #2

The Boss had the broken tooth cut out of her jaw today by an oral surgeon.  So the second surgery is done, with spine surgery coming up in 10 days.

Rocky Mountain Red

Started doing ground work for the first time with my Rocky Mountain Horse, Red.  She was an experienced trail horse when I bought her so I didn't see any need.  Besides I've never done any of that before.  Due to the Boss having physical issues, and therefore only 3 rides this year, I figured some horse-human time would be a good thing.

A couple of days ago I took her to the round pen and had decent success at getting her to move, stop and change directions with just body language.  When stopped, she would look at me as if to ask, what now? 

Gonna be cleaning stalls again tomorrow.  If not too hot for me, we'll be in the round pen again.  I'd like to develop enough of a connection that she'll be drawn to me when free.  I also want to work her some with a side pull halter with the idea of future riding without a bit in her mouth.

This is my pretty little girl.

More American Than Us

Saw on the news where some of the Hong Kong demonstrators, wanting to maintain democracy, carried american flags and signs wanting our 2A.  Seems those are more American than half of our own population.

Hell No

Saw something today where a poll shows something like 60% are in agreement with the total ban of semi-automatic weapons.  Commies!! Sure as hell hope it's totally wrong.  About half of my collection are semi-auto and half of them use so called high capacity magazines.  Government buy back? Hell no! Come and get them one bullet at a time. 

The kids are grown and have families of their own. And the Boss is in total agreement with me. Heard the quote 'liberty or death'? Our first war started that way, and I'd bet this would start another.
