Ridecamp: [RC] Farewell to Howard

With Howard's permission and suggestion, I'm forwarding to RC an email I
sent to him about 3 a.m. this morning.

I tried answering a few other RC endurance-nutrition-related questions last
night as well, but the barn computer account gets bounced back, so I'll try
again later (when I'm not pulling 90+ hours a week in the treatment barns
and can think semi-straight.).

Dear Howard,

Hope this email goes through---I'm on the barn computer
at the vet school and cleaning up email (at 3 in the
morning) trying not to fall asleep.

After having read all the hue and cry on RC, I thought
I'd let you know I named one of my assigned patients
after you.  He's a Holstein bull calf and Howard
definitely fits him.  Primarily, because:

1) He's a little on the small side, but feisty and
always trying to get on down the road, usually in the
wrong direction.

2)  He showed up when no one was expecting him, and now no one's quite sure
what to do with him.

3)  He has his gonads for the moment, but there are alot
of people discussing the public removal of them.

4) The more comfortable he gets, the more methane he
produces.

5)  When he's not drinking, he's either getting into
trouble or sleeping it off.

6) <Please remove all dainty people from the vicinity>
He has some trouble finding the appropriate nipple but
is very enthusiastic once he has it and usually doesn't want to let go.

7) Like all good Southerners, he's missing some teeth
and can't explain what happened to them.

8) He makes a helluva mess which he expects the women to clean up for him.

9)  The longer you know him, the more you realize just
how full of sh*t he really is.

10)  The most appropriate dress code anywhere in his vicinity is knee high
rubber boots, coveralls and with a shovel and bucket nearby.

I'm on barn duty again tomorrow night, so I'll bring my
digital camera and send you a photo for your
refrigerator.

Regards,
Susan G
