I dated a horse vet for a while and have been to a few polo matches with her as she tended to the horses. I have to say, after a while owners begin to look like their animals.


Polo is one tough sport, btw, for horse and rider alike.

I was talking to my General Contractor yesterday after work he is from Huston.
He moved to Bee Caves in West Austin.
I was telling him how the place used to be.
He was saying he wished he would have never moved there.
He said he didn't even like the people they were all a bunch of snobs.
This guy is not a so called stereotypical construction red neck, he wears hula shirts to work like I do sometimes.
He worked at Prudhoe Bay in Alaska back in the old days too.

In the pictures of the doors.
About once every hour the halls are loaded with Middle school and High school kids all going from one class to the next.
Many of the teachers are deaf and all of the kids.
I was told we would have to work after hours and weekends to work in this building due to the danger to the kids.
After the GC saw how we kept everyone safe and didn't have a bunch of crap strung out everywhere he let us work during regular school hours.
The children for the most part are very respectful of our work going on.
We always have at least one doors open for them or they ask which one they can go through.
The one we are working on is always blocked if we ae on the other side.
At no time when the children in around the doors are we holding or lifting anything heavy.

On a side note for some odd reason I am starting to pick up on certain sign language.
I know what thank you means and how to respond.
I just give a thumbs up a nod and a smile up as apposed to the welcome sign which for many is used for other things.

I saw this truck today at the farm store. Auto body repair is a lot simpler than I realized.

They say that silver shows dirt the least. Yet this may be the best reason to buy a silver vehicle.

Agave blooming right down the street from me about 100 or so yards.
That is the end of that plant but pups will come up.

Duct tape now comes in many colours. I used white on my last car.

Up here where roads are salted in the winter causing lots of wheel well rust, duct tape auto repairs are quite common. Today at the post office I even saw duct tape holding together the cracked front bumper of an older model Toyota.

I remember some northern jerk caller on the radio a few years ago complaining about Austin and Texas in general.
It was about the wee amount ff ice we get here.
He said we were idiots because we put out sand on the roads for ice.
"Where I come from they put out salt, Texans are stupid."
Well idiot just stay home for the one day out of every ten years we get ice like everyone else does or go back to your blacktop salt river.
One good trip down a salty wet highway is enough to ruin your car for life.
That is one thing people look for when it comes to buying old classic cars.
Where did it come from?
