Yes, that would bother me.

Maybe it's time for some noise-cancelling headphones. Have you seen this ad?

Well, if you have three on your wish list, and you order only one, then that IS exercising restraint!

Yes, thanks for the update. It sounds like the wheels of justice are slowly moving in a positive direction.

Prayers for your refugee family, your group, and that entire messy region.

Canyon

Yay - that sounds like good progress!

Thank you for helping them out with immediate needs and heading them toward a longer-term solution.

Rhianon - any updates?

I hope you and your group are making progress with the bureaucracy!

Thanks for all the ideas here and in the Cookbook Forum!

I am roasting four sheets of Better Boys tonight, which I'll bag up and freeze, to enjoy this winter.

How tall do the wraps need to be? Would something like Sox for Horses work?

Could some of the ick on his legs be smegma? My geldings "deposit" black gunk on their inner thighs if it's time to clean their sheaths.

All of my Roma and slicing tomatoes are ripening at once. Any favorite recipes that use up a bunch of tomatoes? I probably should break out my dehydrator and dry some of the Romas, and make and freeze some salsa. I made pasta sauce last week. I have a large pot of chili on the stove for tonight, whi...

We don't lime pastures out this way; we actually would like the soil to be more acidic. So, I am not speaking from personal experience. But, here is a link to a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for one form of agricultural lime . "Section 3 - Hazards Identification * * * Emergency Overview - T...

NPR transcript of the first debate, with their fact-check notes

I was fascinated watching Trump; he started off fairly under control and spiraled down to rants and jiberish. I am not a big fan of Hilary, but I will vote for her to attempt to keep Trump far far away from the White House.

Crock-Potted Pork Tenderloin. I doubled the dry spices, tripled the garlic, added two bay leaves, and threw in a cup of brown rice & a cup of water towards the end. I didn't bother thickening the gravy. This was a tasty meal for the autumn season.

I just had Caprese salad for lunch.

Our homeowner's insurance went down when we replaced cedar shakes with thirty-year asphalt shingles, thirty some years ago. So, they have lasted thirty years, but will need to be replaced in the next few years. DH is thinking metal roof this time. I read here or on COTH that some colors of metal fad...

kande, it is nicknamed puck board because it is used to line the lower part of hockey rinks. Watch an NHL game to see what kinds of impacts it withstands. Apparently now it is available in a whole array of colors and textures. I don't know what minimum thickness is suggested for horse stalls. If I w...

musical comedy - are you thinking of puck board (HDPE)?

FarmTek sells sheets of it and molding/trim pieces.

I think it sounds like a great material for barns and stalls.

I just listened to this piece about LED streetlights . I don’t think it should really impact your choice, fergusnc, since your yard light will be on so little.

Something else to add to your head explosion (sorry) - During our house remodel, I was told that breakers should not be used routinely as switches, because they have only so many "flips" before they wear out and will no longer be reliable for their designed purpose.

Can anyone comment?

Canyon

In addition to minimizing the wattage used, consider getting a fixture that is fully shielded and points downward. Dark-Sky Org has lots of info on light pollution. Those of us who enjoy gazing at the stars will thank you!

Canyon

I wonder if your electrician could find something similar to a small breaker box to house the switches. Our exterior breaker panel has a tab on the metal cover that matches a tab on the box, so you could put a clip through the tabs to keep (most) horses away from the breakers/switches.

Ugh, I'm glad I have my horses in my back yard!

How about wearing earbuds, listening to NPR or whatever, and just tuning out the drama queens?

Yay! That is wonderful progress!

I agree with practice your backing skills. Also, get really good at hitching/unhitching, unless you leave your truck hooked up all the time. It's good to be able to hook up quickly in case of an emergency. Also, if you have room in your tack area, have something you can sit down on, to put on/take o...

Well, do you need enough light to jump, or just enough to see the arena fence? I got by for years with just one yard light along the middle of one long side. I liked the minimal light; I was just doing flat work. I saw a great horned owl take off many times from a cottonwood tree in the back pasture...

A friend of mine uses an ATV to drag her sand arena with a small harrow similar to this and to pull her small manure spreader. Many people around here use ATVs for farm chores. FWIW, my FIL had a blade on the front of his teeny riding lawn mower that did an adequate job plowing up to maybe 5" o...

This article from The Horse has some info on feeding corn to horses. Corn is high in starches, low in fiber, with a digestible energy value more than twice that of oats. It molds easily, especially after cracking the kernels. The article explains in more detail.

Vermont artist Joseph Fichter was commissioned to create sculptures of wild horses for new roundabouts at a (near-to-me) exit from I-70.
