Silence at my dad's house is often akin to seeing a unicorn. Rare or never.
99% of the time the TV is loud, never any quiet times.
The ticking of the Calumet clock is zen in a way and a very relaxing change of pace.

We are blessed to have good, kind people in our lives. Our vet sent me a picture of Pistol at his new forever home.
The girls at the clinic braided his mane and tail. I think he looks good and healthier.

I enjoy All Hallow's Eve and Dia De Los Muertos.
It's a shame I'd likely scare the young ones answering the door as pony.

Yesterday afternoon, Rascal, the palomino, crossed the rainbow bridge.
You led the herd at the ranch and you were mean to Pistol but you were a good boy and you will be missed.
We will never forget you.

If I go missing.....
My husband probably killed me for bringing a saddle or two home with me.
Not sure where my mom got this but this was a Captain's saddle. Gotta find the stirrups that go with it.
I've ridden with this. It is very comfy.

I think today was the first time I've ever driven the 4x4 3500HD diesel dually off the farm. Took it to pressure wash all the grime off.
Nothing like putting your hoof in a big ass diesel. He'll scoot and pull a house down.
I chained it to the MF tractor to tow it out the yard.

It has been challenging the last several days. It was rough seeing Pistol and Rascal leave the ranch.
Today, dad wanted to visit the family cemetery. Of course we offered to drive and visit with him.
I feel very fragile and broken after facing my moms headstone and wandering around the cemetery.

I felt so clever today. Got the tractor hooked up to the bushhog, pto attached. Made a pass around the pasture....Why is there smoke?!?
Leaves had collected inside the engine bay or a critter had nested. Cue me running back to house for a bucket of water. LOL

Pistol and Rascal were loaded out for the journey to their new forever home. Vet picked them up around 1pm. They will stay with her a week or two before going to the sanctuary ranch.
Tough day but it is the right thing. They will be pampered and fussed over.

I'm not coping well. Failure is not an option and as a horse/unicorn I will do my best to help and will survive this.

I've got to fly for work this Sun and Tues.
I'm nervous. I've not flown in years and this will be my first time clearing checkpoints post surgeries and with a medical device.
My husband and friend tell me to carry a cane and request handicap assistance. :P

My husband teases me about all of my Ugg boots. "We should open a store."
I probably have around 15 pair of boots if you include the 3 pair of cowboy and 2 pair of motorcycle boots. :-)
Not pictured: My old and very comfy riding boots which I was wearing. ^.~

I feel like a very slow, single man, pit crew.
Yesterday:
Kevin: "My tire pressures feel off?"
Me: "I will balance them tomorrow."
Minimal balance issues on the Mercedes.
This is some of the best money I've ever spent on a device that lives with me in the Cadillac.
I'm a very good pony.

For fucks sake.
It is horrible to age and lose your memory.
We are trying to get Pistol and Rascal to a new home where they can be cared for and live out their lives.
My father does not remember these conversations.
I'm facing the hard decision of making this happen the next time we are in TN

I love my Cadillac.
I promise I'll put you In the garage the next time we get a threat of severe weather.
Thank Epona, or someone of your choice, for protecting my daily driver during a nasty hail storm yesterday.

I found these today while searching for something else in our storage boxes.
1. You are an old engineer like me if you have physically used these
2. You must be an engineering geek if you know what they are

A minute or two earlier and I could have been in the middle of this.
I arrived on scene mere minutes after this happened. The driver hit a water filled crash cushion, there was still water running across the road.
I hope the driver is okay.

I have to fly for work from DAL to RDU and back on 10/5-10/7.
This will be my first time post surgeries (3 years ago) and passing TSA checkpoints wearing a medical device.
I'm nervous but I know I can do this. My approach is to be ears forward, kind, up front and alert them.

Stepped outside before sunrise. Almost no light pollution here in the country. Orion and Taurus are visible in the southern sky.
I always think of my friend @muttlymusings.bsky.social when I stargaze and see Orion. ❤️
