In the four years I have been there no one has ever filed a grievance; in fact, only about 30% of the employees even joined AFSCME way. --- Maximus/2 3.00 * Origin: ElseWhere (1:114/212) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E1400048 Date: 01/04/97 From: VICKI NICHOLS Time: 12:05pm \/To: BOB KOHL (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: Test BK> > I'm still waiting to see YOU - same offer!

Its not our fault. The Hawaiians did it. Well at least down here. Its suppose to stop raining by Saturday afternoon and be sunny Sunday. Its suppose to be colder, more like winter, but it will still be good riding weather so some of us are going to a go splashing in the big arena. There is no telling how many of us will show up. Ever seen a bunch of adults playing in mud puddles? Some of us have grandkids but there isn't a grownup in the group.

I promise to -> look it up in my atlas! I'm 2 hours south of Sacramento in Atwater which is just north of Merced. I'm sure glad I don't live in Sac. with all of its levees. We have all the irrigations ditches that are being used as storm drains. There is a mobil home park not to far from here that they've evacuated that the people won't be able to move back into until June sometime. I heard that one of our local lakes rose 8 vertical feet in one day. Since that lake is over 30 miles long that boggles my mind. Sunday is suppose to be clear and we are riding. I have a couple of Wintec saddles and Muckers to ride through the puddles with. We'll leave the leather saddle in the tack room where it won't get wet. We'll take dry clothes and goodies for after the ride.

Are these like Easyboots? OR maybe Tony -> Lamas? (giggle) Smokey wears the Professional Choice Sport Medicine Boots the lazy persons answer to polo wraps. Red one to match his halter and other accessories. I color code my horses stuff.

Tush doesn't do any of this.. she's still to -> young. You can always hope she never learns. Its kinda disconcerting when you're standing talking to someone and Smokey either slurps, he prefers faces, you or the other person. Especially if they don't know him. It upsets other people if he tries to play with their watches and jewelry too.

Dry? Whats that -> Yep.. had the same problem down in OC.. I ended up waiting till 8-9 -> at night to use it. My horses seem to leave their brains and common sense in the stall when we ride that late. Makes for a very interesting ride. I rode Smokey, during a break in the storms, while Dave was lunging Diva then got off and Dave got on him. You could hear that horse grinding his teeth all over the ranch he was so upset especially since Dave, the stinker, rode him past the covered arena where we turned Diva out to roll after being worked.
