Keep us posted. I still will probably have to replace mine in the next few years. My last washer before this died at 35 years old.

Consumer reports has come under criticism lately for having bias toward advertiser companies. Whether that is true or not I don't know but I'm pretty cynical about everything to do with mass produced products and " planned obsolescence" lately. I did some research about a year ago cause I ...

Yep, Shar Pei, years ago a workmate bred them (and neapolitan mastifs and french bulldogs and rex cats).
She would bring mom and pup to work at times, a very small office. Nothing as funny as a herd of wrinkly faced pups running at you.

Tuffytown

Yep, Down the Fence, I am a multiple kickstarter donator. Name in credits. It's as close to world champion cowhorse as I will get.

Can't wait until it comes out. It is a local (Issaquah?) lady behind the project.

Handsome little muffin. I bet he is going to be a brick house.

Sorry I missed the posting of that video. What a great horse and a great seat. Thanks Canyon.

Tuffytown

Sorry to sidetrack but all houses have mold. Anywhere moisture collected there will be mold. Newer houses are actually worse than old houses cause they don't breathe. I am on my 3rd adventure with a client or friend having to have toxic mold abatement done on houses less than 20 years old. If you ar...

hoopoe, I make you Queen of the World! YEA! If only our politicians had the ability of making this happen. But only if they put hoopoe in that position - I suspect they'd much rather act like children and fight over which one of them should get that esteemed title ... sigh... and now who's pee pee ...

Tuffytown

Well, she does do dressage. It's the basics isn't it? When she was with the cutting trainer I would ride her in the arena with the other trainers there who did arab sport horse and western dressage. They would have their students watch me as we worked on leg yielding, shoulder in, haunches in as an ...

Tuffytown

i love that cutting people know its better to hold the horn then to mess with the horses balance, lol Survival. One locks themselves into the saddle with the horn. Kelo is so right. Nothing more thrilling and powerful, when you can stay on. Tuffytown can't stay on when Tuffy makes her big moves :lo...

Tuffytown

Lol, thanks.

And thank the management for allowing her to grace their banner.

Tuffytown

Thanks Chancellor, The little red devil rules. I'll just paste what I had over there if you don't mind. First an update to the below. The trainer is lobbying for me to breed her to his favorite stud so he can have a futurity prospect in a couple of years. Yeah, no, I offered to rent her uterus but I...

Tuffytown

Oh how terrible. Yes, how can we help?

Funny, I was driving to town yesterday and thinking, who would be the sociopathic, narcissistic, misogynistic match for trump as a running mate and Kanye came to mind.

Tuffytown

Compacted soil is tough. Being under deciduous trees is better, you can trim for some sunlight. Being under evergreens, particularly cedar or firs is much tougher as their root systems consume all water and nutrients and their vegetation fall is very acidic so can make the soil pretty undesirable fo...

Hellebores are great and come in lovely colors. I have an almost black purple and a bright yellow and they have crossed for a dusty purple as they spread. If you want color I would also look at corydalis and hardy fuschias.

Tuffytown

That followed this i could have guessed that the vultures would be circling with their political agenda before the man is in his grave. congratulations on your couth. and lots of "evil liberal" commentary on the other site I know we both frequent. Sorry, I just get tired of the hypocritica...

Tuffytown

Yes, I agree we would not see you doing that. You wouldn't see me doing it either.

Tuffytown

I have made no comments about the death of justice Scalia. My only comment is that the hand wringing about how terrible liberals are that are seemingly taking pleasure in his death (not so much here) is so hypocritical as I am absolutely sure the similar sentiments would be expressed from the conser...

Tuffytown

Very entertaining if you like reality shows. Not so much if the end goal is to choose a good presidential candidate.

Tuffytown

I don't need a dog but I want him. Just a squeeze and hug should do.

Tuffytown

What is the primary need for the window dressings? Privacy, light, aesthetics? I will admit I am not a window dressing person. Most architects don't particularly like them cause they mess with the architectural lines and cover up the design. That said, in most residential building that is not an iss...

Tuffytown

Forward to the cow, lol. With no cow she is quite lazy. She is the one I put beginners on and her first impulse is to see if they can even make her go. When tuned up she is quite fun to ride. Her mother on the other hand was the most forward in front of the leg horse I ever rode. This is more akin t...

Mr Jersey was actually thinking, I'll just stand here and spectate. He was soooo tame that to try work him we would have to run up to him and slap him on the bum to get him moving. He was a bit like Linus, always had a cloud of flies on his bum. Cows desensitize rapidly as they figure out that the h...

Tuffytown

Very handsome boy. I would recommend body work too. At least an assessment, that kind of stiffness one side usually comes for further back and opposite side so I would suspect some discomfort on the left side somewhere.

I like an eggbutt with lozenge as do all my cowhorses.

Tuffytown

And March 3rd is both of our birthdays. She was kind enough to come a week early and surprise us.

Boots, It's the new directive "halt on your belly at x"

My horse, my husband took the photo.

Ok, how about a cutting horse?

I had a conversation with a small animal vet recently and she recounted that at a recent vet symposium she was at there was discussion of mounting numbers of Previcox causing ulcers and other organ issues in dogs.

Tuffytown

More jingles for your mother to pass over peacefully and pain free. I was with my mother and, as sad as it was, I cherish that time with her.

No such thing as standard size windows. Each manufacturer has their standard which may or may not differ from another manufacturer or even another product line in that same manufacturer.

As noted above, custom size or matching shim.

More condolences Alex, Love the Weims.

Condolences and hugs coming through me from 6c legs as well.

If serious about this property I would check into whether it has been legally permitted as a residence. Looking at the pictures makes one question whether it might not conform to the habitability requirements of the building code for a residence.

Tuffytown

If asked without your background info I would put it in the teens or early 20's. Later 20's and 30's on until the 50's the trends in furniture styling was more ornate. It almost has some Empire characteristics but that was an earlier style. The knobs are certainly A&C except for how shiny they a...

Tuffytown

Not a manufacturer I am familiar with. It did give me the opportunity to learn what a big industry furniture making was in Rockford Illinois around the turn of the century. I would contact Historic Seattle, Larry Kreisman, and get a contact at the Seattle Arts and Crafts Guild. Someone there could p...

Tuffytown

It would be unusual for a mass produced A&C piece to be made in the 40's since that wasn't the "in" style. If that is true it may have been a commissioned piece or from one of the classic A&C makers with some interesting changes to appeal to the times. It is classic quarersawn but ...

Tuffytown

You realize that goes 2 ways. Are others expected to stop expressing their opinions because you have given yours? I guess you should tell others how you feel it is appropriate for a discussion of opposing opinions to go.

Tuffytown

We use plain old slip joint pliers which have lots of other uses. Or adjustable locking pliers.

Tuffytown

When we have cut we have used a box cutter- utility knife against a metal straight edge with a board underneath the cut to facilitate spreading while you re scribe the cut area.

Tuffytown

I wouldn't know if they are actively discriminated against more or less than those other groups as I am not in a position to see actual interactions for all those groups. I do think there is a lot of intolerance directed towards them moreso than those other groups publicly on social media etc.. Whil...

How much of the relentless pointing fingers at muslims and demonizing them helps in making them feel they are our enemy. He may have originally been one of us but with the constant hatred directed at them in what is supposedly their own country why wouldn't their allegiance be damaged. Not an excuse...

Tuffytown

Yeah, I don't see it as incompetence, more arrogance.

Tuffytown

Lol, thanks. That's just the way I found him at 7 am. He lives outside in a paddock but let himself into the barn. Unfortunately the place I stage hay for the days meals looked about that bad too.

Tuffytown

When you select stain you need to pick transparent, semi-transparent or solid body. Its a matter of how much pigment there is and how much of the natural wood shows through. Solid body acts much like paint as it is total coverage and can peel and require the same prep for restaining. The transparent...

Tuffytown

I still think he is a plant. By whom I don't know but he seems hell bent on attracting the wing nuts and espousing such vitriol that he surely won't get the official party nomination. Now that he's making noises he might go independent again he stands the chance of being a real spoiler. Perhaps an e...

Aw, what a peach. I'm so sorry for the loss of your special mare. I have one like that, 26, and I know I will face this soon and I hope she can go with the same quiet dignity that you afforded your lovely mare.

I have wood floors and prefer it to when I used to have my horses on mats. I planned to mat the stalls here when I moved in but after living with the wood for a while I decided I liked it better. The wood is on pt. 4x4 sleepers at about 24" o.c. with gravel between both over the native clay.

And most of them vying for the republican nomination at this time would refer to you as a RINO. If only your kind could take back the party.
