The kids were great tonight. Even with the threat of rain on the drive to the barn, it was dry at the barn. I worked Rajiyyah first with the surcingle and reins. For the first time she focused on me and paid attention. Very good workout. She...
These are justy too cool not to post. Little curling horns made out of candle wax that you can have in your hair. (Not burning candles. ;)) Hair Candies by Xyn Related Images:
It is a pretty day. I’m going riding. Yay!! Finally! Short of anything happening, which it won’t! (knocking on wood) See ya on the flipside! Related Images:
A friend of mine keeps making really bad puns. There is another punster at my office, too. He knew the Big Word for punning: par·o·no·ma·sia [par-uh-noh-mey-zhuh, -zhee-uh, -zee-uh] 1. the use of a word in different senses or the use of words similar in sound to achieve...
It seems like I barely have time to be at the barn, maybe once per week? This is the time I really need to be out there. How could I have forgotten that three years ago it was this time of year when Isis had laminitis? I...
Here is some good news: first set of upgrades are complete. The portable has a new hard drive and 1 gig of ram. Boy is it much faster now! Updated the hard drive from a 4200 to a 5400 and from 512 to 1 gig of RAM....
It is really on it’s last legs. The drive is clicking every time it boots. It is throwing error messages (no hard drive found and PXE error on the ethernet card — says to check the cable because it’s not working properly). Since I bought the Mac...
I have been planning all week to ride this weekend. And now the weather is calling for rain on Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. !@#$!#$. Related Images:
The chiropractor came out tonight. Isis was sore (who knows from what). Maye she had been running out in the field and pulled something. Maybe she was sore from being worked (althoug once in a week wouldn’t seem to strain her). Isis has learned a trick: if...
One of my clients today pointed out that I’ve been overbooked. It hit hard, and also made me realize how much stuff I’m involved in that is not important. The last two to three weeks have been consumed with computer issues and trying like mad to finish...
The more people I’ve talked to about Vista, the more I refuse to use it. Vista was a major consideration in why I chose to purchase a Macintosh. Every person I know who has purchased a machine with Vista on it hates the operating system. It is...
I worked Isis in the surcingle and side reins. I need to clean her real saddle. The dressage saddle I’ve been using is too narrow now that she has regained some of her muscles. While I’ve briefly ridden her in the dressage saddle, it isn’t a good...
One of my clients emailed me two products to update. I have to run their software on either the portable (ha! not without some MAJOR upgrades) or on the Mac Mini. The Mini is almost out of hard drive space and would definitely need more RAM to...
This portable is SLOW. Not just slightly slow, but right-click-wait-15-seconds-to-redraw-menu slow. It is painful to use. The hard drive clicks whenever the machine boots, and about 50% of the time it won’t even load Windows. It throws a hard drive and ethernet card error message (boot disk...
Did you ever use a BBS (bulletin board system)? When I was in high school, I got hooked on BBSes. I started BBSing prior to the move to Tennessee after my freshman college year. In Tennessee when I met Mary Lou — she and her husband ran...
