The Mad Dash

What a week it's been! The " when you have a minute, Ryan" tasks all came to a head. I refer to him as "favorite son"......he made the mistake of complaining his parents liked his younger, sports oriented brother better. That was over a decade ago....the name sticks...he is also called the anti rider....

Truck brakes are done, trailer is being serviced as I type, lights are getting checked, later we pull the dividers and finish packing horse gear etc...Steven is busy with his plasma cutter and welder: fashioning gates to replace the electic fence tape that was formerly used to keep leaners off the pvc etc.

The pet sitting at home is covered, bags are packed and miscellaneous errands and details are being attended to. It's been a crazy, crazy week....who's had time for work? Our once upon a time work ethic is a thing of the past for now.

I even washed the trailer for the princess. What horse would want to arrive in a trailer covered in winter green? I couldn't find the car was brush and substitued a soft push broom......which was interesting. All the while cursing Steven for parking so close to the edge of the woods.

Those of you that have washed a horse trailer tangled in thorns and a choke cherry tree with a long handled broom, with a winterized and kinked hose will know what I mean. Sure, I know there are many of you, admit it.

Just a few more details, like work in the morning, and will be on our way. Crossing hooves that all goes well with the mechanics tonite.....It's so nice to have great friends, and I wonder just how we will repay them...
