The farrier came out today for Isis and Rajiyyah. The spots on Isis’ front feet are definitely looking better. Her feet are getting better and the funky fungal thing she had appears to be mostly gone. There is still a little of it in her front right hoof. I’m continuing the treatment and hopefully that…
The last time I really rode consistently was Isis’ show back in July. I rode Rajiyyah today and really felt slippery in the saddle (didn’t help I was wearing linen pants). Boy do I need to get my legs back in shape! Any way… She was good today. Full of energy and excitement, but overall…
The barn owners called me last night. Apparently Rajiyyah was shivering last night from the cold. Poor kid. She is not used to the weather in Tennessee yet. I’m heading out now to try a blanket on her and buy her a new one if she needs it. Related Images:
I was going through my pictures of Isis and I finally found the one of her running. I only wish this one had focused better. Oh well. It was taken with a Kalimar 35mm film camera with a 80-200mm telephoto lens. Related Images:
I can’t believe I missed it tonight! My favorite show and I got caught up playing Oblivion. Time passes when you’re having fun? I did watch last week’s episode, ‘New Earth.’ I was surprised that several scenes had been clipped to insert commercials. It was pretty annoying to see how much was missing. Nothing you’d…
Would you like your own TARDIS? (Time And Relative Dimensions in Space) If you are a Doctor Who fan, you konw precisely what I’m talking about. The blue Police Callbox is an icon of the smash British science fiction series. So here is your chance! For an opening bid of $4,500, you can own your…
Yes, you guessed it. I’m a Who fan. Fan conventions with actors who have played the Doctor’s previous incarnations? You bet. Even have autographed posters. Yup, even started knitting the scarf. Doctor Who is an acquired taste. You have to like quirky, campy British humour to appreciate Doctor Who. The second season is finally airing…
I’ve started reading a new book by Linda Kohanov called The Tao of Equus (see Web site). The author relates her own spiritual journey through her relationship with her horses. It’s a very mystical/shamanistic journey that she goes through. She uses her own experience and her professional training as a psychotherapist to combine the experiences…
This is a really cool tool that creates a graph of a Web site. The pictures are based upon HTML pages and tags used. Pretty neat. It’s a Java applet, so it can take some time. Web Sites As Graphs Related Images:
The roofers came back out on Saturday and have hopefully fixed the roof. It rained like mad on Saturday night and so far no drippings inside the house. There is just something so depressing about buying a house, having it inspected and getting a gold star — and within three months having a large limb…
It rained again here last night. Originally I wasn’t too worried about the rain because the roof had been patched. The roofer had warned me that he might not have gotten all of the spot and to call him if the roof continued to leak. The roof leaked last night. This time water actually came…
Monday morning vet check went well. Isis’ incision is healing well. Overall, she looks good except for her weight. When the vet examined her belly, Isis stretched out her neck and wiggled her nose. Silly girl wasn’t sore, she was itchy! Related Images:
I’ve called in a claim. Here’s hoping that the insurance company will cover either the roof or the flooring… They might not, but it’s at least worth a try. I talked to one fo the guys at work who had extensive flooding problems in his old house. All of the bad stuff I had been…
When I bought my house in May, all of my friends and parents were very congratulatory. They frequently ask how the happy owner is and the happy house? Upon threat of your life, don’t ask me that this week. Not unless you have time to spare and a good set of ear plugs. September generally…
Ever notice how big cats are chickens? My big white cat, Ambush, is about 15 pounds. He is two or three times the weight of my smaller cat, Stella. Saturday was his routine diabetes check up at the vet’s. He scurried off to hide as soon as he saw the cat carrier come in from…
