Smartie's Bar & Grill #68

Power boat guy or sailing guy? Kayak?

 

Well sounds like you can survive if you have to with all that knowledge.
We got rid of our ducks and dozens of chickens about 5 years ago. But do want to have eggs that are from our chickens again.
We have put up many a fence too. Still have some repair work to do on chicken pen to keep them in at night but they free range during day.

 

We had a horse for a time. Some friends were keeping it at our place. I was walking behind him one day when a tractor backfired in an adjacent field. The horse made a noise. As I looked, suddenly I heard the whoosh of two hooves - one just to the right of my head, and one just to the left of my head.

 

Power boat but I sure miss the little cabin cruiser we use to have. This is a 18' Jon Boat we've had fro over 10 years and just got it water ready last month. Will stay close to shore for sure.

 

Being on the water is great, but I like sail boats. Kayaks too. Fresh water there since I'm in north Texas.

 

Starsky & Hutch w/ Huggybear.

 

This was our horse and donkey, he did the same thing to me his hoof just did miss my head by a hair! I felt the wind. Me and my donk Rosie use to get into some fights when she was younger. She kicked me right in the pelvic ,hubby said ' WAS THAT YOU ' when he heard the hoof on bone. She was running parralel ' spl' to the hill [ she was only 5 months old ] and I turned an kicked her down it. But she bit me a couple times too. I bit her back on the nose.

Tobacco and Rosie ,I miss them but I really miss her.

 

This is just fro a little fishing and it was already here so we got it legal again and back in the water .

 

I haven't been fishing much in years, but am looking forward to doing it during retirement in a couple years. Mostly by kayak but also looking forward to teaching grandkids how to say a 13 foot sailboat.

 

SMW thanks fro reminding me how old I am.

 

Grandkids are great but they grow up and get lives. And you seldom here from them so enjoy them while you can. We had lots of fun with ours.

 

No...I don't think Popeye's does either That's a great link though.

 

Cant figure out how THEY got so old!!!

 

Beautiful animals, but ouch!!! Yes, they can be quite dangerous. So can cows. Our neighbor had a cow push her right through a fence made of 2x6s once.

When I was in high school I dated a girl who had a horse. He liked to sneak up behind her and bite her in the butt! It was soooooo funny and she got soooooo mad!!! Apparently it hurt! And you could almost swear the horse was laughing at her. He would go prancing around and acting all tough while she cursed him out.

 

Ain't that the truth! really puts things into perspective,huh?

 

When we gave them away so we could check on them to make sure they had a good home everytime we looked out at the stable we both got tears in our eyes. Hubby loved that horse and he loved the donk too. The horse would let me walk up to it when it was laying down but not hubby till hubby got injured,then he would lay down around him too.
I'd go lay out with Rosie at night on starry night and watch falling stars. Her neck was nice pillow.

 

See what happens when you eat too many Doritos or
hang around seedy inner city greasy spoons.

 

I have to start cleaning out greenhouse and double digging raised beds past time to plant some summer crops. No more 20 F nights I hope.

 

I miss those greasy spoons though and Drive In's too.

 

Maybe because they aren't Globalist like Henry Kissinger or
James Baker.They are 10-20 years older than " Hutch " yet look
in their 70's.Meaning the closer one is to Billionaires the better
they look and feel.

 

excuse my reply it didn't come out right, of course they can't hang around us they have families and jobs. And we moved 400 miles away too.

 

Notice how " Huggybear " aged well.I bet he takes care of himself and
his diet.Plus he still has a thing for Shoes.
Meaning it's up to the individual to look out for their overall being.

 

It is so cool to bond with animals like that. I never had a chance to really bond with the horse. But we had our moments. Not long after we got him, while I was trying to make buddies with him, we had a very cold night with a bright moon. Fog had frozen out of the air and coated the grass with ice crystals. I was feeding the horse and got a wild hair to run with him out in the field. So I took hold of his bridle and I started to jog. He decided this was okay and started jogging along with me. As we ran, I remember him looking at me as if he was sizing me up. He was still tentative but quickly started to relax as we continued to run. Then we both seemed to sink into a pace. Everything was covered in a thin white layer of ice. With the moon so bright it was almost like day light. As we ran through the grass we created a cloud of ice crystals that shimmered in the moonlight all around us. It was dead silent. All that you could hear was the crunching of the grass and our breathing. Truthfully, it was a magical moment. We weren't good buddies yet but the horse was clearly enjoying this as much as I was. Very cool!!!

 

Thats true. We get plenty of exercise around here just mopping my floors with this big janitors mop is a real workout. So far I'm still in good shape and not on any medicine at all,only aspirin now and then. I'm so blessed.

 

Thats a beautiful story. We have had some like that and animals are so cool. Sometimes my dog actually rolls her eyes at me. LOL.
