Here is a fixated poodle. It takes a good horseman in those days to have his horse's ears not be a blur. It's easy if the poodle has something to focus on, like this fella.


This is the look:

I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s laser focused on the artillery fire! I could be wrong of course. How those horses didn’t bolt at the first salvo of a battery of 12 pounders I’ll never know…

Well, it’s all coming together…momma’s contractors, wife surgery, and now my doc’s orders…when the arty starts to rain down…

Won’t be on much over the next few. Keep the light on for me. I’ll leave a nice Santa Fe MZ…enjoy and talk to y’all soon.

You can count on it. Best wishes with everything.

Happy Wednesday!!!


So, four horses and a coyote call. Wat ordered this call thingie on Amazon, maybe. It makes all kinds of distressed critter noises. There is one of squalling coyote puppies, which is, I guess, to lure the mommies in. The one that seemed to make as much sense as any was the sound of a very unhappy bunny. Sad bunny makes noises to draw in predators. Okay. So I went out on the back deck with the noisemaker and a rifle (just in case - I had no expectations) and started playing a litany of racket. I was figuring that maybe some of those chicken killers were over in the far trees on the other side of where the mule lives.


There is a look that a horse has when you/something has its undivided attention. S/he looks intently ahead and the ears are following the eyes. The ears won't lie down forward, but they point in that general direction and stay put because it's looking at whatever. You follow the ears with your eyes and you can tell what he's looking at. The only thing that the bunny call drew was four rather judgmental horses over to the house side of the fence line. They were all looking at me and 8 ears were pointed at me, like "Hey. h000man, what you you doing to that bunny? What's wrong with the bunny??" It's the only time I can recall ever seeing all 4 of them together united in one purpose. Besides eating, and even then they have assigned stalls and troughs and such.


So I gave up and went in.

Haha.... omg

I have a biggish mug but was admittedly irritated when I realized the biggest one that I like the most was in the dishwasher ....like how many times do I really want to walk into the kitchen for refills? Lol

Drink out of the pot

 

[Missk_2022]

Great story!!

Years and years ago I lost like 40 lbs (this was even before I took up ultra running) and black coffee was a big part of that. I can't even really imagine having it another way anymore

Same! (Except for the running part!)

 

[Tweedledude]

Same! (Except for the running part!)

Same except the running and black coffee...ie resistance training.... Whatever one does we just need to keep doing it we in this age group, as described by one health expert, are fighting the hardest battle ie aging... Go team go

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Meh.


Aging happens.


Keeping off surplus calories becomes a nuisance.


Kind of a slow day at work. It was a break from last week.

How appropriate?

My father suffered from the same thing.


My version of everything is much better than Mom ever hoped to make.


I like my cooking, no matter what.

I like my cooking, too. I probably would like yours as well.

 

[Lilianna23]

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Go to get it anyway, no matter how little you want to.


I don't want to have to pull your plug from the head injury you get while using a fucking chair.


Clear enough???

Yes, dear!

 

[Lilianna23]

Boys have pockets . . . .

I won't buy pants without pockets. IDK why it's so hard to find lady's pants with them!

 

[Lilianna23]

Don't have one.


Yet . . . .

Then get a combo appliance with toaster oven, air fryer, broiler, etc functions. Like this:

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yes, dear!

That used to be my answer . . . .

I don't know why one wouldn't want them. Such handy devices...

My mother is a boating snob. No one knows anything about it but her, it seems.


Her favorite story was about when the USS Missouri was stuck on the sand bar in Hampton Roads, and how she knew where that channel was since she was five.


Of course, she was piloting her father's dead-rise and not an Iowa-class battleship, but she digressed.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Off to wherever it is we go when we sleep . . . .

 

[likes2watchU]

Last couple loads* of vacation laundry before bed.

Nowhere even close to caught up on the thread - hope all had a decent time while I was galivanting across the East Coast.

The only thing that the bunny call drew was four rather judgmental horses over to the house side of the fence line.

Best Storytime of my day - thanks, @Wat_Tyler

I like my cooking, too.

Good thing I like mine since I'm single and living within my means (i.e. no cook on staff - heck, no staff )

She sounds like a hoot. I'd love to have high tea with her or at least within earshot of her stories.

I thought there was a waiting list for the Procrastinators Club?

Oh good. I need some time to think about joining another club.

I have a biggish mug but was admittedly irritated when I realized the biggest one that I like the most was in the dishwasher ....like how many times do I really want to walk into the kitchen for refills? Lol

Helps you get your steps in for the day?!?

It may be a good thing. You shouldn't sit too long so getting coffee gets you up and moving a bit. Maybe a smaller mug is better?

See?

Well - time to change the laundry around and think about bedtime.
Sweet Dreams all...

There is one flaw... Has anyone made pants with a pocket that change doesn't fall out of when sitting? Especially in a car seat.
