I bruised my tailbone after riding back in the beginning of April and I’m still not back in the saddle. It’s driving me a little crazy not being able to ride. We have had some beautiful weather that is perfect for riding. But I’m stuck. The orthopedist was finally able to see me. He said that my back looks good overall. I’m in good shape. So we decided on injections near the tailbone...

New refrigerator
The lovely new refrigerator is here! It makes such a huge difference in how the kitchen looks. The house is so much quieter too, without the rattle of the other machine’s motor. It will be interesting to see what happens to the electric bill now. Related Images:

I have this lovely new car and it seems like fewer people see the Veloster than the Tiburon. The strangest part was today’s activities: two cars, one on the way in to work and one on the way home, almost ran me off of the road. Well one actually did run me into the shoulder. Here’s where it gets strange. A brand new hearse ran me off of the road on the way...

My 32-year old refrigerator is dying a sad death. The freezer’s frost is creeping into the refrigerator compartment. There is a six inch frost ledge. A bottle of juice at the back of the top shelf has most of it’s cap covered by frost. I couldn’t easily move it. This frost is also melting and dripping water. I spent the better part of the weekend online reading reviews and going to the regular...

Last November, I got fed up with Time Warner being inconsistent in their offering prices. I was told when I moved from the apartment to my house that I could keep my old plan. Great, that worked. Except when I got my first bill, i ended up with a total that was three times the amount I had been playing at the apartment. I called Time Warner several times and each time I...

A friend of mine sent me a link to DM Scotty’s channel, the DM’s Craft. He shows how to make all sorts of dungeon tiles with paint, cardboard (!!), hot glue, and patience. They look really good! There is a video that shows how to make crypt and cemetery tiles. That will be useful for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay segment of Gathering Storm that deals with the Garden of Morr. I wouldn’t do...

After riding yesterday, my tailbone has been very sore. Sitting hurts. Riding is out of the question. This is unacceptable. I am so tired of not being able to ride consistently. I’m going to see my regular doctor and hopefully get a referral to an orthopedic specialist. This sucks. I’m tired of riding and then having a pain in the butt, feeling well enough to ride, and then riding… and having a pain...

I bought a bareback pad for Kasane over the weekend. It’s a Thinline bareback pad. Fits her very well and I actually rode in it for the first time today. It was crazy warm today (almost 80F) so she was very mellow. I put the bareback pad on her and lunged. She was great, as always. She has the loveliest lope. I got on her and we felt so discombobulated. It’s been months...
