Sunday Wes (My Hunting Buddy) and I along with my son took Mac and Tessie (New Mules) out with my son's Appy. We had to try and calm Mac down by leading him behind my son's horse for a while, just letting him burn up some energy. Then Wes got on as Travis and I lead Mac around with Wes on board. Wes was on Mac when he just exploded! I tried to hold him back but he was too strong.
Wes and Mac took off straight away for about 40 or 50 yards and then turned to the left when I saw Mac buck Wes off, he hit hard breaking 2 ribs and lacerating his head and suffering a concussion. He was taken to LSU Medical Center for Cat Scan and is suppose to be let go today.
Other than that it was just an average Sunday afternoon! Chit! You can't sling mashed taters into the ground any harder than what Wes hit! I mean he was out and said he didn't remember anything until he was on his way to the hospital in the ambulance! We are looking for a real old gentle shetland pony or something like that now! LOL Wes was eating and feeling better when the wife and I left last night. I know he will feel better when he gets the neck collar off. He got out late Monday.
Travo and I did not draw for the 3rd season Cow Elk. Major Bummer! I might just get an over the counter Bull tag.
We have been going through a Kitchen remodel...started out real good, 7 weeks ago! When the wife said the cabinets she wanted had been disscontinued the Contractor said "I can make you the best Custom Cabinets out of Birch that money can buy" He put them in yesterday and I told him to pull those second class things out of my house! Now I am in chin deep in Poo and the Contractor and the Wife are throwing Turds at me!
Needless to say it was quite lively around there last night with all the screaming and squalling, But I am better now. I woke up to find the wife had slept in the front Living room, so I thought I would reassure her things would work out. So I sat on the large cusion in the center of the sectional to speak to her....smashed her glasses flatter than a fritter! Yeah, things are really going good this week! John:(
 
damn and I thought I had problems. I've been trying to figure out if I should have Top Ramen for dinner or go to carl jr's.
 
Yikes, your having a rough one. I took my horse out on Sat. morning with my dad. That first maiden voyage after winter is always a crap shoot. We lucked out and had a good warm up ride in the mountains. Hope things look up.
 
A hurt buddy, no tags,pissed off wife and chithead mules...................not a week to write down in your diary.
 
I don't have to worry about the contractor anymore, the SOB walked off the job this morning. Called my lawyer, then checked my E-mails.......the Air conditioner I ordered this morning won't be back in production for about a month, the plant caught fire! Chit! John
 
Draftstud...the mule whisperer. ;)Dang John, time for a Kawasaki mule doncha think?:)
 
Let's see - got out of the hospital for blood clots in my right leg. Got rear-ended last night by an Asian woman on her cell phone while I was stopped at a red light. She never even put on her brakes. My paid-off Camry is probably totaled...and she took off.

Yeah, it's been a great week so far.
 
DS, think we need to find a middle point somewhere else. mom pased, father in law, 2 strokes, transmission went out on the wifes trailblazer,(6 days) father in law has a heart attack, experimental fix on him, house burns down, truck breaks down(gas line going to #4 injector explodes)going to the settlement conference with the insurance company.(last 6 1/2 months) do I qualify?
 
TLC, Were you ever in the Cartoon Dogpatch with a little Gray Cloud hanging over your head? BTW, Grandson totaled his Mustang yesterday afternoon, but except for some swelling from the airbag he is fine. John
