CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[White Rabbit]

It snowed a bit here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland but Mrs. Wabbit and I drove to the store anyway. She said she read an article about how many words a woman used a day 30,000 to a man's 15,000. She said the reason has to be because women have to repeat everything.

I turned to her and said "What?"

Hello!

Around 20 celcius here and sunny.

I can SO relate to that Rabbit!!

I am super tired of winter, good thing it's almost over....it's been snowing every day for a while here. Just enough to keep it looking and feeling like winter. We had a sneak peak of spring, everything melted and we actually had a cute little running stream down one of my pathways that I made for walking. It was brief respite, next day snow, snow, snow. *sigh*

Our property used to be part of a farm years ago. We built here in 1989, the fields are mostly gone now, lots of trees, bushes, weeds. One end is a nice wooded area, with stones lining a ravine that runs through it. About 15 years ago I started to mow pathways through the field so my son and his friends could play laser tag out there. It has become my nature walk now and has expanded to about 5 acres. I have lots of twists and turns, circles and dead ends for stopping to sit and enjoy. A friend started to refer to the trails as crop circles when a pilot came to sell us an aerial photo of our house and the trails showed so plainly. I said, more like crap circles as I walk the dog out there, hee hee.

Yep, I'm longing to get out in the sunshine and green fields!!!!

Hello!

That sounds like perfect weather. You should be riding today, instead of the day you tried and it was cold and rainy.

 

[Konstantine]

No time today, i was busy doing nothing. The next days will be clear too.
I'm thinking of riding this horse, it's a bit wild. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX5L2cJ5Xrg but small body.

It just appears that the poor horse was getting stuck in the mud and had a hard time getting his footing.

 

[awsum140]

Looks like maybe the horse had more sense than the rider.

 

[Konstantine]

Yeah first time in the water. He was trying to get him across. The other horse on the left is the one i ride. Just cool and eats lol, he's doing fine in the water.

I love it: crap circles. It sounds like you live in a wonderful place, even if winter still has you in its grip.

I don't think that horse was wild. He had more sense than his rider. It looked like the footing was dangerous, and the horse knew the rider was trying to get him to do something unsafe. Notice that exit from the water? What a mess!

 

[SandySu]

That horse had no hesitation about going in the water. I think he was bothered by the footing. I almost thought he'd roll in the water back when he started pawing. That's often the warning. You might think the horse is just having fun, but he's testing what's under his feet to see if it's soft enough to roll in.

 

[SandySu]

Kon's video reminded me of this one, which looks a lot more dangerous. I hear hunting in Ireland is a sport for those who like to flirt with death.

[Konstantine]

That guy has over 30 years experience with horses on the mountains. He has to get the horse across.

 

[awsum140]

I gotta ask...Why didn't they ride up at speed to that first jump to use the momentum to carry the horse and rider over the ditch? Maybe they aren't trained to jump in the first place. Frankly, I don't see how they get much hunting done with all the standing around and crossing one at a time like that, plus hunting while soaking wet isn't much fun at all, on a horse or on foot.

 

[Konstantine]

Hunting sucks a bit, especially with a horse.

On mountains rides we need the horse to be able to stand or go across small ponds/rivers, that's it.



I had an old toroid transformer 2x42.5V 650VA (a big one) but since there is no cash to buy the one i need which is 30V i am rewiring the transformer by removing wire to reach the 30V and i suceeded. Didn't knew it was so easy.

Has dropped the house circuit breakers 3 times lol, mostly on powering up.

Let's see, 33 degrees here, some spring! It looks like it's going to snow a little later, bummer and a half! Off to the chiropractor to get a few aches and pains realigned. Then back to some carpentry, safety walkway in the attic, and lay out moving the hot water heater to a more central location in preparation for installing the solar water heater.

I'm gonna have to agree with you on this! I'm in north Jersey and it's the same temp! And how about the Chicago wind we've been getting too? I vote we call Chicago and ask they to take their wind back to the windy city LOL!

Hi, Peanutt, welcome to Voltville.

I bet it's absolutely beautiful there in Spring. At least you know that all this snow and slush that you're getting now will create a beautiful nature trail for you to enjoy.

Take some pictures will ya, when everything blooms.

 

[Renolizzie]

Kon, looks like riding would be fun. Wide open spaces even if it is mountains. I like wide open spaces

Peanut, we send our wind to Chicago from here and then it hits your place

Seriously, winds were bad yesterday although I didn't realize how bad until I saw in Reno and Washoe Valley the winds were 70 to 90 mph. Really, I don't think the wind was over 60 here

Cracking me up with your crap circles in Michigan, Q.

Awsum, love productivity and it sounds like you have that.

 

[JoAnnW]

Welcome to Voltville Peanut!

Well we only reached 37 degrees with a passing flurry of super big flakes and like that it was gone. This is what we are suppose to get off and on, for the next several days. At least the wind died down a bit.
