I report, you decide...

I said I was gonna go walk the pasture and look for the still missing halter.
And, I did.

This pasture is huge and it's cut into a half and the other half into two quarters by a creek.

This afternoon, I went on down there.
I once again walked the creekside in the big half of the field.
Kept criss-crossin' back and forth to the fence, crunching through underbrush, steppin' in mud... looking for that damned halter.
And, two rubber feed tubs that may have been left there, along the creek, to be swept away in any of the several floods we've had so far this year.

While I was there, I groomed and sprayed both four-legged chucklefucks.

Bo literally got pissed off at me when there weren't carrots in the bag I had with me.
It was CD's.
I kept pushing his lips off it and finally, he swung his head at me, ears back and mouth open.

I slapped his lips for him for that, too.

Then, a few minutes later, he gives me that shitty look again and I waved him off and he did it again!
I jumped up onto a log to tower over him and gave him hell, verbally.
As soon as I shook my finger at him, he laid his ears back again and I hollered, so he spun and hopped his ass at me.

Spoiled little shit.

All because he didn't get his 43 carrots this one time.

Anyway, I fucked around out there til I had to piss like a race horse and needed more tea and I came home and did all that.
Pulled some chicken out to thaw for dinner, ate a little something real quick before I shook to death from a massive caffiene hit... shit like that.

Then, I load back up, drive back down there, but this time, I parked across the road from a different gate, one we never use, really.
I drive past it every time I drive down the road, but we usually use the one closest to the Bosses house.
I'd just driven by this other gate three times in less than three hours.

I park across from it, get my CD's loaded, get my shit together, grab the three cameras I had in Georgia so I can finish 'em taking pictures of the horses and exit the car.
I stick the extra CD's in the trunk and turn around to cross the road.

I take one step and look at the gate and... there it is, on the hinge-side fence post... the halter I've been looking for for months.
Just sitting there, draped over the top of the fence post like it was dropped there from above.

And, there ain't been ANYBODY out there, except some anonymous someone to bush-hog the field about a month ago, but I guarantee you that that halter has NOT been draped on that fence post for a month.
Even if I may have missed it, ain't no way everybody else who lives here all would, too.

And, my hand to God, I did not see it there any of the three times I went by that gate today.

But... however it got there... I've got Storm's halter back.
Finally.
Thank God.

Now, I need to run to Giant.
And, get gas at Sheetz.

Then come home and make dinner.
Then bake those cookies I wanted to bake earlier, maybe.

It'll either be that, or going to bed while it's still light out and getting up at around 1, or 2, or 3 am.

I've been doing that lately.

Which reminds me, I also made a huge dent in the mess that is my disorganized bedroom earlier today, too.
Still hafta pick up a buncha paperbacks that were all stacked up that fell all over the damned floor and figure out exactly what to do with alla the clothes now that we lost the "dressing room"/extra bedroom since Jr. moved in.

Now, I have stacks of clean clothes all over the place because there's only one closet and it's not huge by any means and only one dresser which is gorgeous, but again, not very "roomy", consequently, I have more clean clothes than places to put 'em.

And, my bedroom looks like a jeans/Harley shirt factory threw up in there.

Anyway... I gotta go.

Wanna see if I can start the last camera with more pictures of the horses.
Then, it's on to dogs, then cats and birds and rabbits and shit.

Car, too.
House, farm, every damned thing except me.

And, the PAWS lady just called.
She's coming by to take another three cats to be "done".
If I'm not mistaken, these three brings it up to an even dozen so far.
Wow, man...

She's gonna be here in an hour and a half, so I need to motor-vate.

Back later.

Peace
