'Walks in and looks around.... "Oh My!" Blushes and quicly runs to scrub out my drooling mind' 
Well, my yellow spinner (the one that I cracked in half and pushed back together) is still alive and well, but a teeny tiny corner of the paint started chipping off. So what have I been doing? Obsessively picking at it all day long with my fingernail! Halfway there! Dang, it's just scratching right off...

Good night, folks. Here's another sunset, taken some years ago at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've been working (cursing at) on the Jeep. The saddle clamp wouldn't hold against the pressure of the brake fluid, 2000-3000psi. It cut the rubber I was using for a gasket like a knife. So, I bought some brake line, a bender and fittings and cut out the piece that was bad. That meant making a flare connection on the old, rusty brake line. That didn't work either, getting a good flare on a cleaned up line that was now less than the original outside diameter proved impossible.
Today, I bought two four foot brake lines and replaced the whole line from the master cylinder to the flex line at the rear axel. What a PITA! The piece going from underneath to the master cylinder was bent like six pretzels and snaked between all kinds of obstructions. It took me about an hour to get the new piece bent to match the old one and snake, wiggle and curse it into position. Thankfully, no leaks so I'm "mobile" again. I'm really tired of looking at the dirt side of that thing!

At least the job is done without giving up $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to a qualified certified bank robber, I mean, mechanic.
I went to see Penny today to groom & graze her. Jasmine looked like she wanted the same treatment, or maybe she just wanted to be with Penny. Anyway, she was fiddling with the latch on her stall door, and I was afraid she'd figure out how to open it. I told her to stop in a sharp tone, and she listened and stopped. She is a very responsive horse. I really do think she wanted some TLC, too. The boy who owns her was off at a hunter safety course. He'll go bow hunting. I asked him if later, he'd hunt with a gun (the bow season comes first, then black powder, then shotgun). He said he was afraid Jasmine would freak out from the gunshots. I told him when I boarded at Deb's, it was right in the middle of the national forest, and during hunting season, it was like a war zone, with gunshots all the time, and the horses all soon got used to it. Of course, no one was shooting all that close to them. That might frighten them. When Penny would hear a shot, she'd lift her head to listen, then go right back to grazing again.
Penny is a lot cleaner now. I'm disappointed that they don't have a hose so I can really bathe her. It'll be sponge baths from now on, I guess. Jasmine hates water, so the boy never ventured to hook up a hose, since she wouldn't stand for it. But he has to carry buckets of water to fill the buckets in the stalls and the bigger tubs in the pasture. That can't be easy.
Now I have banana bread in the oven.
I was surprised no one posted today, too. Where's Lizzie? She usually says good morning.
