When you shoe a horse, you drive the nail so that it comes out of the hoof about a third of the way or so up from the shoe. You bend the nail over forming a hook, which you flatten out slightly. This what secures the nail and the shoe.
So it seems the tire shop guy was correct, about those nails not innocently falling off a horse.

So your wife shoe's horses, huh? Wow, that's quite a process. I greatly admire the skills acquired in pursuit of that bucolic lifestyle.

She is retired as a farrier, and getting real close to completely retired with everything!
When she was full time as a farrier she usually did 8 or so horses a day. Now she takes several days to do a horse. She does only her horse and mine when I am nice ? 🙊
She used to load and unload her 105# anvil by herself, now working together we struggle if we have to move it. 😛
She was also a master falconer back in the day, and we both trained dogs , worked with horses, etc. Now a goldfish is probably more appropriate? 😌
 
Good morning all,,,,Happy Monday! Looks like a nice day starting this morning! ;) Hope all you folks out Texas way are drying out!
Still with the granddaughter and we have to go out soon and check on the turtle! :D Fresh water and food every day! :cool:
At 5 years old she takes this responsibility very serious!
Something I never knew about Box Turtles, if you remove it from its area and let's say we take it ten miles away, it will spend the rest of its life trying to find and return back to its original area. They never stray to far from where they are born? :cool:
Well we will be taking her to school and then heading for home, big week at the home front, the contractor will finally be coming to work on the deck! :D Hooray maybe can can finally get this done and over with! :D
Well we have to get moving, check back later,,,,Drift on! :D


You know, on some level I think I knew that. Many years ago, some band mates & I were traveling between Paris & San Antonio. Apparently, the annual turtle migration was in full swing. The turtles weren't having too good a time of it, as evidenced by the carnage all over the highway. For some reason(I won't hazard a guess here...winkwink!)It seemed like a good idea to pull the cargo truck over & load as many turtles as we could into the cab, thirty, thirty five? And move them down the road a ways to a less well traveled area & release them. Now I hear this, about the homing factor...I think those turtles have been cursing me every since, & that would explain a lot about my life to date...
 
Back in the days of my Utes (youth) and I worked on the Horse farm where I baled hay, shoveled horse manure and drank beer, I use to enjoy watching the crusty old guy when he came to shoe the horses! ;)
I learned a lot of different things back then! :cool:
One very important thing we learned was that we didn't like Schmidt's beer! :D

Good afternoon. It's Beer Time for me! Today I'm having a Kolsch style ale produced locally by Karbach Brewing. Although Karbach Brewing is located on Karbach Street, they named this beer Love Street. Has something to do with the peace, love, flower child movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

All and all, it is a light refreshing Kolsch ale, lightly hopped with flora and fruit tones, not sweet at all, slightly cloudy yellow in color. ABV is 4.9% so this is not a light beer. It came in an interesting 19.2 ounce aluminum can, good size. The cost was $2.69, about the same as a 24 ounce can of Bud. Good beer.

Cheers!

:cool:

When we left the daughters house the turtle had moved a small plastic flower pot out of the corner of its new habitat.
It started digging, if it uses the flower pot to cover the dig we know it's tunneling and planning The Great Escape! :D
Told my daughter to keep an eye on it! ;)
It maybe looking to return to its birthplace! :cool:

My warning light was recently triggered by a full size Phillips head screwdriver.

The tire pressure sensor was acting up on our Tacoma. The warning light was always on.
Somebody asked me, how I could tell if a tire was low without the sensor?
I told him I'd just do it the old fashioned way, I'd look at the tires occasionally.

June 6, 1945 the war was over in Europe, but on board the USS Yolo it drags on.

June 6, 1945

I was up early, had breakfast and worked on revision of the War Diary as well as the log completing both before lunch. Inspected the ship alone and got another shot at the sick bay. During lunch I slipped in the crew's chow line to see how their fried chicken tasted and what was amiss. Everything tasted good. The cooks have come a long way in 11 months. I am proud of them.

In the afternoon a LST en route to the rear area came alongside. We traded water for fuel, paint for provisions and other things. Later there came a call to GQ but shortly thereafter we secured. After dinner a short GQ interrupted the show on the tank deck. The B-29s continue to bomb Japan, while one of Halsey's groups made a high speed run to a launching point from where fields on southern Kyushu were hit.

 
Good drift going on items found poking holes in tires,found a switch blade in one my daughters tires when she was in college . The blade was still in good shape but it wrecked the rest of the knife and a brand new tire on her Camaro. Sun actually came out for a few hours here today,hot and muggy but no mosquitoes by the time I shut down for the day. Drift on.
 
Sometimes I jest shake my head.............;) :D

Shake It Off

Lyrics
I stay up too late, got nothing in my brain
That's what people say mmm, that's what people say mm
I go on too many dates, but I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say mmm, that's what people say mmm
But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I'll never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet. 😄
 
Staying in rainy South Carolina, listening to the rain on the coach and arranging and rearranging and consolidating. Hopefully this will make things easier, but practice is needed to learn to optimize available space, or non-existence thereof.

Who needs to learn to relax, while maintaining an eagle like concentration on driving and situational awareness.

Stay safe Geoff.
