Fighting the Software
Thanks for the encouraging words. I really should just move it off of the Radio site to something that has better user support.... sigh....

Okay, gossip headlines:

Toni moves her horses to Aztec tomorrow where she is working as a water truck driver. No current volunteers.. but we could use a good one or two for a month.

I just put a roundtrip ticket from Durango to Seattle on my credit card so my brother can go visit Donna. They've been communicating at least twice a day since she left. Now they've got this internet phone thing, so if you want to call us on the internet, it's all set up. Of course we have to be on line.

Kory is bringing my new horse tomorrow. I had decided to back out of the deal, then Donna said that I simply must have a Canadian Warmblood. She offered to even pay for it. Crazy woman!! Well, I scraped up the cash myself. Is it wonderful to have a friend that would buy you a horse? Everyone should be so lucky as to have someone like that in their lives.

Got bucked off my mustang again. I only have a few bruises and some little lacerations on the back of my head. Apparently the idea of a human in the saddle was too much for him. He bucked, I went off, and he fell down. He is back to wearing cardboard boxes until having something on his back is "no big deal". The concept is definitely not agreeable to him at this point. John wants me to buy an inflatable naked woman doll and put it on the back of the mustang instead of the cardboard box, just to wake up the passing truckdrivers.

Mike and Audrie are buying a house in Socorro, NM and getting ready to sell their place in Tucson.

John went out to Illinois and helped our future neighbors, the Griffincrests, buy a trailer to move their stuff in. They are selling two houses and moving onto their new 4000 acre ranch on Carter Mesa. Compared to us, they will truely live in the boondocks.

John is on his way to Barstow to pick up the 6 carts he bought on Government Liquidators.com. They will become donkey carts.

Lylbun moved into the trailer at Gobernador. He won $4500 at the race track, but quickly lost it to his ex-wife, The Extortionist.

Phil has been working as the Monday cook at the Navajo City Roadhouse. If you want some good chow, stop by there on a Monday.

Donkeys and mule are doing well. I have been keeping the paddocks free of manure to try and control the flies. They create about a wheelbarrow full of ready-to-compost materials every day. I ordered some fly parasites, little wasps that lay their eggs and feed on fly larvae that should come in the mail on Friday. The fly traps are now about 2 inches deep in flies - zillions of the little buggers. If you want any flies for fishing, just drop me a line.

Well, that's all the gossip for now. Your comments let me know that you appreciate reading my blog. That appreciation is what keeps me willing to fight the software to get it done.

Yrs,
JRW
