Cudgee, I'm 6' 2" and 270 lbs. I don't think I would fit!

Those are very cool, though. A tremendous amount of home engineering in those, I am sure.

Pairing this, with beautiful instrumental gospel, you have just a small piece of are Creators handy work.

Tell your son, thank you for me Jerry, from your bud Willy, up in Saskatchewan, Canada.

No argument here mate.

PC were supposed to make things easier/simpler, but they had the opposite effect. Things are soooo much more complicated nowadays.
Take me back to the time when everything was hand written, and you didn't need a whole wack pile of backups, external hd's, edr's, disk encryption, patch managements...
A time when you didn't have to spend every spare minute worrying about your security software...

Here is a novel idea gents, it might just take off. ::nod:: ::nod:: ::nod:: What about they install and give businesses and companies phones and phone numbers so you can actually ring and ask someone for an answer when you have a query, Nah, probably wouldn't take off. ::doh::

Addison needed to make a video yesterday about how to load horses for her club. The black and white horse is two year old newer breed. My wife holding a collar piece we found buried in a dirty old shed yesterday. Lots of saddle soap.

Keeping on the horse theme, this is an old horse and cattle water trough that has been preserved in the city where i live. They used to be dotted in quite a few places around the city, not anymore. Still can be found in some country/rural towns.

The first horse scales in over 1,000 LBS. He placed both front hooves and jumped right in. The young Draft Horse walked up and placed his left one and stepped back. She got the one to move against the wall and then he jumped in like wait for me. Smaller white one climbed in and stood sideways behind. They ll came out on their own like they knew just what to do. The leather and brass heart piece, I used Mothers Mag to polish the two initials. All I seen was a dirty metal ring under a pile of rusty junk. Sad that he wouldn't take care of his fathers place. Found a rusty H Boker cutter/pliers, solvent has them freed up and will work on a restore. A flat pointed blacksmiths hammer missing a handle, stamped on both sides but not sure yet on maker.
A gentile giant he dwarfed her.

My wife and I used to go to a lot of horse shows and training seminars and not everyone is equally gifted in working with horses, it appears that Addison is. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the picture of your better half as well. ::handshake::
