    Watched the horse flip three times. Still don’t see how that happened.

    #2 – Horse’s front hooves never cleared the top bar -*my guess* his (or her) momentum carried the body over when the front legs got stopped – OR it’s some kind of practiced stunt?

    Just doesn’t seem like there was enough momentum to heave all that weight over.

    Pictures of New York:
    An analytical mind: “What marvels of engineering!”
    An artistic mind: “Look at those lines! And see how the morning sun bounces on the glass!”
    A philosophical mind: “Every person in those buildings is a point of reference in this world.”
    A business mind: “These buildings represent capitalism, and fuel the economy.”
    A working mother mind: “After work, I need to pick up milk, groceries, lettuce….”
    A terrorist mind: “Targets!”

    Ah, the perils of the internet.
    I’ve been wanting to get out into the woods but in hot weat6her like this, its best to not go alone. I’ve got some buddies on HammockForums that I’ve been camping with but lately our schedules haven’t matched. I’ve been working most weekends and when not doing that have been helping S.O. with all the things that needed doing to sell her house ansd get moved to a new place. That was accomplished last weekend so I had an opportunity this weekend but nobody to go with.
    So when a Noob made a post on the planning thread for The Second Annual Texas Butt Bake saying that he was going to be be meeting up with a group on Sunday morning to hike part of the Lone Star Trail, I contacted him and invited him to go out with me Saturday night to a place near where he was going to meet those folks. Said person agreed that this was a capital idea and hoped that I might be able to help figuring out some new equipment. As we do here on the couch, we all use “Trail Names” instead of our real names. This persons’s Trail Name is “Wisp”.
    E mails were sent back and forth, times and locations to meet were agreed on, and cell phone numbers exchanged. Said phone number from said person was in the 609 area code. Upon receipt, I sent the following:

    K.
    I’ll see if I can find the roll of Zing It in case we need it for the tarp line. I think I’ve got the same tensioners you do and they are a piece of cake. I’ll toss in an extra set of tree huggers, too.
    I’ve got a meeting tomorrow at 1300 that might determine whether or not I can duck out of work Saturday. That might mean I can make it a bit earlier. I have a commitment Friday nite or I’d try to talk you into going out then. Parking Lot #8 is a good Friday nite rally point for long hikes on Saturday.
    609—-isn’t that MA? I grew up in the 603.

    I got this reply:

    Sounds good. Just let me know and I’ll be ready to go anytime on Sat.
    609 is NJ. My husband works in Philadelphia during the week and flies home for weekends. We lived in South Jersey until moving back to TX about 5 years ago.

    I sent this reply this morning:

    I hope you understand when I say that I’m going to have to decline this weekend, and its not your fault. I had no idea that you were female. That in and of itself is not a problem, but I’m in a very committed relationship and she’d never understand if I went and spent the night alone in the woods with another woman. Please understand that I’m not making any accusations or implications about your intentions or character, you’re probably just like me in just wanting to get out in the woods and wisely know that going out alone in hot weather is unwise, but there are right things to do and there are wrong things to do and this would just be one of those wrong things to do, at least for me.
    I do hope we get to meet and spend some time arund a campfire but, for me, it would be best if there were other people around.

    Sigh.
    Any of you guys here on the couch want to go camping tomorrow night? I’ve got an extra hammock and stuff you can use.

    Good morning Hamsters. The only legacy of last night’s storms that did not leave a drop on our place is a delightful 65 this morning and a north breeze. Sigh, it’s wonderful while it lasts.
    Question for the day is what new scandal/outrage will rear its ugly head today? There’s bound to be one. Does it count that PRISM showed up so late yesterday as to not count for yesterday? Does it count for both days? It is big…Jabba the Hutt size. 🙁

    Well it sure woulda been more polite if she woulda told me she was a she a whole lot earlier in the process. There’s no indication of sex or marital status on her profiel, but a lot of people don’t fill in thier profiles in these forums. The only indication was the trailname “Wisp” but thats a bit gender non-specific, and certainly less concerning than SpaceWeasel, Gimpy, Brute, and Caveman all of whom turned out to be good guys.

    #11 Sarge: Well stated and you made the correct, very wise decision to decline; WELL DONE, SIR. The possible maximum upside (simply a good time, plutonic, with a new friend in the woods) in no way compares to the very likely downside (hurt feelings of your S.O., ditto for Wisps husband {which may make him want to come hunting for you}; ) The potential for the negative way outweighs the potential for the positive.
    A superior boat captain uses his superior judgement so that his superior skills are not required. You exercised a similar judgement in this situation.

    Many of the comments were about Medusa, which seems very appropriate. Wouldn’t a short or medium Afro be a lot easier to maintain? Not to mention shampooing…

    Do you actually think she ever does a single thing to maintain that “do” on her own? PUUUU-SHAWWWWW She has “her people” do the maintenance on her “do” and the people pay for it.
    She certainly qualifies as one of the people of Walmart.

    From my email:

    One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, ‘Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in ‘Slim Fast’. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!’
    His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn’t let such a comment go unrewarded.
    The next morning the husband took a pair of his underwear out of his drawer. ‘What the heck is this?’ he said to himself as a little ‘dust’ cloud appeared when he shook them out.
    ‘Kathy’, he hollered into the bathroom, ‘Why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?’
    She replied with a snicker. ‘It’s not talcum powder; it’s ‘Miracle Grow’!
    … guys just never learn, do not wiss off a woman.

    Barry wants to have a debate.

    The Obama administration has a familiar refrain on the surveillance of Americans’ telephone records: the president and his team are eager to have the debate.

    OK, terdnozzle, here’s my opening remarks:

    Amendment IV
    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    Now STFU.

    I have heard two liberals calling into shows today defending the NSA saying they are not really “listening in” on our calls, just watching the “traffic” or “noise” out there. To be honest, it sounded about as stupid as when we were saying it.

    Edd was talking about how funny “Blazing Saddles” was. I’m watching it now. I just don’t get it. I haven’t even cracked a smile and I’m about halfway through.
    I never liked the Three Stooges, either, and Hubby’d be rolling on the floor. It’s a totally different kind of humor, I guess.

    I managed to check off all of the items on my “to do” list today. Right now I am drinking alone while I wait for other alumni to show up to an event tonight in Clear Lake. Tomorrow I will head to Conroe so I can be certified as a Range Master for Boy Scout archery and BB gun ranges.
    Carry on.

    Actually it is, the government should never have been given these powers to abuse. We will never shut them down now, barn door is wide open and from now on we will play the game of which politician is going to reign them in by gummy!

    Here we have another case of PCinsanity running amok. The PC lunacy has really started to infect the armed services to their detriment. The left always screams “tolerance” yet if you happen to disagree with them they become the most intolerant of all.

    I’ve heard certain “good” people say that the telephone surveillance is not big deal or problem but the mere fact that government is data mining everyone’s calls is creepifying.

    Well, the vacation is OVER! Packed up and heading out ’bout 6 AM! Dang Dammit we had a great time and with the exception of Thursday morning, great weather. Today, our last day, was spent on the beach under the umbrella having a few brewskis, life just don’t get any better than that.
    Oh and our annual Moo Bar and Drum Stick give-away @ the pool was a big hit since we had 2 Drum Sticks and about 8 Moo Bars left. Every year for about 23 years we’ve been coming here and if we had ice cream left over on Friday we’d give it to the kids at the pool, we’d always ask their parents first. This time there were 4 kids with their Grandparents and we asked the Grandparents if it would be OK to give them ice cream and they said yes, 2 of the 4 kids asked their Grandparents if it was OK to take it! They were all less than 8 years old, I was so proud of them.
    Did I ever tell y’all that “Life Is Good!’ 😀
    See Y’all down the road!
    Nytol.
