Coffee anyone ?

Wife agrees I should get one under one condition, I must ride it down the road appearing to be drunk and drinking while singing off key past the drunk neighbors down below

I have one mare that'll step under you if you lean to far. I used to ride backwards and ye'll the young guns line "Hay Chavez, how come they aint killin us?" She and the other mare used to pull all my firewood up from the creek.

Singing on the mule- sweet Betsy from Pike
My Darling Clementine. Lots of range and easy to replace lyrics with something far less decent.

Maybe I should name the mule "Ruth" oh Festus Haggen would like that one.

I have since concluded that he is one of the recruiters who are duped but get a small return to keep them working.

Wow. That is such a classic Ponzi scheme and this guy can't see it? Glad you are smarter than him.

Oh geeze - math nerd here. Gawd, and slide-rules were awesome especially the circular ones. That stuff just all made sense to me. No idea why, it just did.
In from morning grazing - 2 hours of joy out there, then barn neatening up. Got more to do outside after lunch. We got 1/4 inch of rain last night - started early enough that I cancelled herding lessons. Now I need to harrow the arenas.
As for the guy who fell for the Ponzi scheme - as they say the apple was ripe for the picking especially with the current state of affairs. there are many creeps out there just waiting to scam as many as they can.

I think I am on the peak of a whiner hill... ya know.... seeing the world at glass half empty and not being glad of the blessings that I know I have...

I do currently have a mountain of things piled up in that hill that are all rubbing me raw....

But the new one... I thought I would share... since I am not about to whine about it out loud to the "real life" folks in my life... I thought I would allow myself a bit of an out loud whine to the 2 dimensional folks in my life....


On top of all the rest of it... my eyes are messed up.... or, going bad, or what have you....

I went in to the doctor yesterday because of a spot in my vision..... I didn't think it was a detached retina, but I was thinking maybe it was bad.... so I went in..


It is bad... my retinas are thinning, dramatically. In my right eye some of the retina is already "lost" (thickened and scarred up) the "spot" in that right eye is a volcano... blood pushing up against the retina, making it look like a volcano wanting to erupt... and... retinas do not work well when in that position. It is of course, located in the smack dab middle of the field of vision in my right eye... which is why I noticed it.


I said to the doc examining me... eh, whatever, so I lose one eye, I only need one, just tell me if the left looks good. Answer was, not really.


So... I have a referral to a retina specialist in Anchorage, don't yet have an appointment....

This all does explain why it has been so much harder to see things... and my eyes get tired much faster... I spend a bunch of time now, just thinking with my eyes closed.


It might all get stabilized though.. at the retina clinic... I did not get a "you will be full on blind" diagnosis. So, it isn't as bad as I am making it sound... I just... am stuck on that pile of whines.

Feel free to whine - gotta let it out somewhere.
I've never heard of that before - sounds "yikes" on top of annoying and frustrating. Glad you've got a referral. Keep us in the loop.

Prayers headed your way.

It’s ok to whine here. Heck, you can totally vent and complain and it’s ok. It’s your EYES. Since you kinda need those to drive and do other things, go ahead and whine.
