Big week before spring break. Back to being slow for the next 3 weeks because of the Derby coming up.

What are they doing for three weeks? Buying beer? When I was around 7? on a road trip from MA to KS, we stopped at the Derby (no race that day) and they let us kids run around the track. My sister is a BIG horse freak and was in heaven.

Here's one from a friends place, Thunder Ranch, a few years ago. These are huge draft horses of some sort.

Good AM everybody,

I am not at work - but I brught a lot of work home for the weekend. I won't do any of it today because today is supposed to be the best weather of the three days here in Maine.

Does up at 5:30 AM doing laundry, doing bills, and balancing the check book count as close to work :-) I figure if I start early I can get outside later today.

Morning Denise. I'll be starting chores soon, too. But first - a couple more pictures of the farm.
They have Jack Russel terriers at the ranch too.

This one loves to ride.


Okay, now I'll go start my chores before going to the gym.

Linda everybody saves there money for the party's and betting on the races.

It's a big deal down here. It's like 3 weeks of straight out party time for the state........

Are there big cookouts happening, too? Yumm!!

Kaarien, Yes, the Thunder Ranch folks do compete, but they love to give also. They donate being in local parades and haul Santa and Mrs. Clause around in the Christmas parade. Too bad I don't have pictures of that. My husbad works with the wife at the hospital.
They also raise another kind of draft horse.

These horses were new when I took the picture. Just in from Europe and shaved. Love those 80's leg warmers.

Good Morning Everyone!!
Patrick, I always say that the Derby is the beginning of Birthday Festival Week for ME!! One day I will be AT The Kentucky Derby for my birthday!! And I, personally, don't think 3 weeks of partying for that is a bad thing!!!
I wonder if I'll ever grow up? I hope not!!

Linda thats funny,the friends of my friend also do a lot of charity.they have a white horse and with Santa Claus in de dutch its tradition that Santa Claus drive on a white horse,my girl friend says they also do a lot of donation for children with leukemia,because one of the children a boy of them died at the age of 11 years of leukemia.i never now him,buth saw some pictures that my friend has, of that boy sitting on horses and he was crazy about the horses, and always want to be a jockey for draftraces.i was so sad when i saw the pictures.such charming and cute boy.
life can some time be hard.

Linda, they roll out the red carpet. BBQ, Party's you name it. Concerts, party's all over the place.

HI PEGISUE!!!!!!!!!

Goooooooood Morning all!

Ducks were flying all around the house starting at sun-up, it doesn't get much better than that

Beautiful day here and ayup, I am at work too.

HI PATRICK!!!!!!

Tommy me Boy. A Good Morning to you also. Did you Shoot any of them Duck for supper!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning everyone...it's warm and sunny here....it's amazing what that will do for your disposition!!


This is a picture of Boulder Field..it's in a State Park which is just up the road from where I live...seems like a good place to spend a warm Saturday afternoon....

I have a great day planned the highlight is getting my hair cut, it's all downhill from there. I was just walking around the yard thinking how beautiful it is to have a wooded lot and lots of trees for shade, then I made the mistake and looked down. God's pruning service did quite a job this last winter. I need God's pickup service but do not want God's cleanup service (during flood season a bad thing to wish for).

I'm joining Patrick & Tom, I'll be heading downtown in a little while...And it's a GORGEOUS day out...Better be like this tomorrow, I need sun, I'm turning WHITE!!!

The ducks are safe Patrick.

Cecil, want to buy a rake for your lovely bride - cheap. All of the rakes I have bought Pam over the years, not a single one fit her hands. That's okay though I bought a new rake yesterday, an Echo Powersweep. Gonna side mount it on my cruiser. HEY, WHY NOT CLEAN THE YARD WHILE HAVING FUN.

Must get back to work, see ya later folks.

GOOD MORNING PATRICK!!! I can't make BIG BOLD letters LOL!

Hi PS, Donna, Kaarien, Linda & everyone else.

I slept 8 hours; THANK YOU MAN upstairs! I do, however, feel like a truck ran over me though...UGH. Patrick, I think it was one of YOUR drivers LOL!
Sniffly and sinus headachey; dang blooms!!

For any of yall following my fish, Cliffy Clifferson III....He's still doing well. We have figured out that he has a "swim bladder" problem. It's caused from over eating..my bad! But he will get over it and be fine!! He's almost swimming today!!
Ok, enough of that!!!LOL
Silly ole fish!

HELLO PEGISUE,DONNA,CECIL.AND EVERYONE.
Tom i saw also a duck.LOL.

PS, glad your little man, with gills, is getting better. This is good!

Hey PS Cliffy good!!

Hey Kobs..I slept good last night, too..had the fan on...woo hoo Spring!

Hi Tom, Cecil, Linda, Kaarien, Patrick and Denise (hope I didn't miss anyone..)

I'm heading into work, too, in a little while. Need the hours and to get some stuff done, but will only stay a few and then be back to enjoy the sunshine...no park for me today, but I live in the woods, so it doesn't really matter. As PS says
It's ALL GOOD!!

Pegisue, You mean to tell me all Cliffy needs to do is fart..................

Don't say that Kobi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tom, did the little lady tell you I called yesterday...........

Hey Girls!!
Well, I didn't sleep...I watched a rerun of Animal Precinct...almost finished my 2nd Tim Dorsey Book "Hammerhead Ranch Motel"...About 3 this afternoon, I'll start nodding off!! I HATE that I can't sleep!

Yes, Patrick, I believe this may be the problem!!LOL

Me sorry, Patrick

Donna, have a good day and soak in the rays when you can. It's gorgeous here.

We're going to load up the bikes and hit the Nat. Forest here shortly. Have NOT been on my dirt bike for a few months. I hope I remember to put my feet down when I stop

Hey Pat, Pam told me you had called. Don't know if she told you it was a zoo. A good zoo though, not like the kind of "zoo" this place becomes when her family visits.

Pegi, please don't let Cliffy see the pics of my "Special Friend" Merry in yesterdays last thread. I don't want him trying to steal her away from me

A buddy sent me this link earlier, I thought Patrick might enjoy it: http://www.longislandscuba.com/inter_air.htm

BYE =IS NOT FOREVER.

I've been 'playing' with my new reef fish id software :-) I even went through the tutorial (I never do that, usually just hack til I think I know it all). I got it so I don't have to lug the heavy book to Bonaire.

Does any body have an easy trick to know the difference between a juvenille jackfish and a juvenile spotted drum. The software says a dot on nose of spotted drum distinguishes it from the jackknife. But the spot vs a stripe looks so close in the pictures. And they are so tiny and my eyes so old. I am so excited about our next trip, even if it is still a long ways away :-)

OEPS wrong pict.

Look like it time to start a new thread. So part 2 here we come

Hey Good morning everyone.. Tom that is a shop that I frequent.. Ralph never told me these were available.. LOL

Hi Sweetie, I wondered if that was one of your hangouts

I have a lot of my gear taken there for repair and service.. there is a shop closer but sometimes the service is not up to par.. Ralph does a great job...

Good morning kids.
