It's true, you know. Weaver didn't even notice that 50 we did
last weekend. Provo may have done it with flying colours, but 
at least *he* had the decency to look a little tired afterwards. 

Weaver, on the other hand, nope, no signs at all.

...I was about to qualify my above comment with the fact that 
Weaver is not exactly losing ground from his "heavy" workload.
The horse looks like a sausage.

Awww.... (just don't tell Patrick... although he might have
already guessed...)

It was meant to be Provo's to start with, but I liked it too much
to give it to him (and Glenda told me it was the wrong sort of
polarfleece) so I kept it for me. Now I use it, and he can 
*borrow* it in a pinch. 

But that blanket is starting to get washed more often
than some of *my* clothes, so it might be time to investigate
buying him something a little more robust than his cooler... 
but I wasn't going to do any cold, winter rides, remember?

It *is* that cold Karen. I remember distinctly you mentioning
the ice formed on the top of the buckets. That's cold. I don't
"do" cold anymore. Why d'you think I moved to CA?

> ....what's your excuse now?  Anybody else wanna come?

I *want* to come, but Patrick would not be amused.
Let me work on it, and we'll aim for next year - that'll
give me a whole year to work on him, get him riding Provo,
so we can do it together...
