...Why do you have Texas weather? Though I'll grant you, my next week looks like this.
if you see this, i implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using, with no explanation.
Cleaning tack on a portable saddle stand in the back yard as the sun sets. As you do.
Digging through my gdrive, I have stumbled across a relic from the Google Plus days. Had an afternoon's madness and hammered together Discworld and Blades in the Dark. Never did do anything else with this, though I do think the concept of a hack of Blades into Discworld has legs.

Said my goodbyes to these two fine ladies this afternoon. They've reached the "another winter would be too many" stage and have an appointment with the vet next month, so I wanted to make sure to visit with them now in case the weather gets dumb.
There are like four reactions in seeing online to the EHV-1 outbreak in horses right now. 1. Pray for my possibly exposed horses, Jesus is lord. 2. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, QUARANTINE YOUR FUCKING HORSES. 3. Uhh you guys, this is scary, here's my past experience, please take this seriously 4. This.
Draped a blanket over him because he was sitting next to me, and apparently that was what the dog needed.
Middle child, home from the trainer with a mixed report card. Also I think I may roach her mane, because it is a tragic mohawk anyway. Her parents have hair, but they seem to have not brought the hair genes to the table for her...
Consistently tickled by BO's and vet's choices when taking Coggins photos of my elder mare.
Youngest pony child looking a bit unkempt. Little does he know he just got signed up for the trainer. ...In exchange for the middle child, who I was trying to sell but who isn't moving because apparently nothing is, but also a few oddities I'm gonna have the vet look at.
I feel this meme I just threw together is an accurate depiction of how it's going for me, a programmer working in the world of fintech.
Still surprises me to realize this guy is 4 now. He still has some maturity to go, but he could pass for a hairy Morgan at the moment and I kind of love it.
Youngest child got a good tail brushing today. He was skeptical. Also, dammit, horse, stop tangling your short tail hairs into mats that competely encircle your dock. I am gonna have to shave the sides of your dock and none of us are gonna enjoy that the first time.
Ok, so I went and looked up when and where champagne was discovered as a color.
