Gallery Updates…

OK, This whole update to the Gallery was a bad Idea… But in the end it worked out I suppose.

There are new photos today of Cisco Kid in Cisco’s Gallery here.

This is where Cisco hangs out, half in the barn and half out.

And photos of Hazel (The barn Cat). Yes we have a cat, not a stray even, we (Claudine, the one who’s deathly allergic to said species of animals) brought it home and placed this furry kitten into the barn.

She’s cute and all, but barn cats are well, barn cats. They just happen.

She has a gallery too, because she’s not just a barn cat as I’ve been informed. We’re feeding her and everything. You can see more of her here.

Oh yeah, rebuilding our gallery…

From scratch, that’s just what I wanted to do today.  But it’s OK, it needed it.  Lots of cobwebs and photos were in the wrong place anyway.

It’s all good.
We now have a little WordPress/Gallery Integration going on. Because this server is a bit dated (read Ssssllllooowww), I’m not pulling a random imaged everytime. It’s just a daily image. (It generates the thumbnail on the fly, which given that it’s running Winblows and none of this stuff is optimized for that it’s doing OK I suppose.

Giddyup.

Horse Shopping

We’re currently looking for, or are in the market for another horse. Saturday we took a quick trip to look at a Foxtrotter/Quarterhorse mix.

The current owners, have a pretty nifty farm in northern KY, and they invited us down for a trail ride to check out the horse.

They were kind enough to saddle up “Blackie” and another one of their horses and took Claudine and I (along with a neighbor) on a really nice 1 hour trail ride.

Blackie was pretty close to what we’re looking for. He’s got the right stuff. FoxTrotter smoothness. He’s a little rough around the edges and needs some ground manners. But he’s also a little expensive for a “mutt”.

Cisco needs a partner but we’re looking for a horse that we can ride too, not just a pasture pal.

So if you’re local, and have a nice horse, with no vices, that gates, and isn’t too old and needs a home. Let us know. 🙂

Roofing, thumbs and hammers

This weekend Michael and I were the super reliable roofers and helped my father reshingle my grandpa’s shed.

It was a perfect day to do a roofing job if there is such a thing. About 75 degrees and the shed was in the shade.

We started around 9:30am, stripped all the old shingles, put down new tar paper and got busy.

About 1/3rd the the way through I got my thumb good, I’m talking full swing with a 16″ Eastwing fraiming hammer. That hurt like hell, and is still pretty sore today.

But we got it done. It was kind of neat having 4 generations working at grandpas house on Saturday.
