I feel for you guys. I'm in Ca. land of the crazy's but it's hard to
beat our weather. That is except southern Ca, when fires burn up all the
trees in the summer then when it rains in the Winter, there's mud slides because
of nothing on the ground to hold it back. One of our friends on a photo
board from Sweden was joking about their weather. His deck was wet and one
of 4 plastic cars was blown over. I told him we'd be on the next plane out
to help pick- up that 5 pound chair if he needed help. G.Affleck
Hi Teri. I know what you mean. I am sick of these
hurricanes. I haven't been getting in any training rides. I've
only been able to manage a few days after work to load up and go ride in the
swamp! I did try a new bug spray that seems to work for the
mosquitos - Mosquito Halt. It smells like the Adams Flea Spray.
Anyways - It really works for those swamp mosquitos - amazing! And
before I get done with my short evening rides, it is dark. I'm missing
the scenery!!! Maybe I can get a good training ride in next
weekend...

How do you
condition your horse for ride season if you constantly have a hurricane in
your path. If it is not coming from one side it is the
other. I will ride today and then hope for the best and if
things go ok maybe the following weekend. My son just came home from
deployment, he was in Iraq & Afganistan. Now he will face a
hurricane since I don't think his flight he takes out of Tampa Sunday
Morning will be taking off.
My girls
(horses) they are doing great through all of this. No wear at all
either mentally or physically. Their main concern is about what time
they will be fed next.
I know this
sounds strange but my house is materialistic. I will survive. My
horses, family and friends are irreplaceable. (Yes, my family
feels it is in that order)....lol
