how much have you hauled in your car?
years ago i went to a horse auction. someone bought pony for thier kids and didnt have a way to get it home. i suggested they take back seat out and tie it with baling twine on the roof and put pony in back. so pony in back with 3 kids, 2 adults and akid in front seat and away they went. they had about an hours drive. i guess they made it ok but the car must have had a awful mess in it. it still gives me chuckles.

Before you get an MRI any MRI !!!
never gave this a thought before, good to know. now i know why i wa asked if i had shrapnel or anything like that prior to an mri a few years back. that was before i started this business of hammering iron. it will be mentioned if i have to have another one. anyone getting care from the va should have had the question asked.

andrew, all i can say at this point is wow. this just keeps getting better and better as you go along. chances are the 333 numbers are the entry number that she wore during the contest. dick (seldom)

Just when I had given up...
looks like the first one is for fairly thin material. the second one is special purpose but dont think its for pulling nails. reins are too long. usually nail pullers are shorter than that. nice haul. you will get a lot of use out of everything..

So you want to build a horse
andrew, love the show you are giving us, its great. to my eye it appears that perhaps the feet are to far back at this point and the knee bent more than should be. in other words a longer stirrup length and a deeper seat. feet should be about even with the cinch. just my 2 cents and suggestions that i see. doing great, keep up the good work. seldom
