Wiseguy may lose less condition over winter than you think. Horses generally stay fit longer than humans do when they are not working physically, so with the walks you take, he may be ready to pull the cart in the spring. Still, it's good to go slow at first to get him in shape rather than risk some sort of strain. Why can't you drive in winter? Too cold? Too much snow? If you get a lot of snow there, what about getting a small sleigh? I think that would be a lot of fun.

We could drive this winter but I had a lot to do and I have been working on building up our confidence around dogs and desensitization and building a stronger bond. The biggest problem out here is the wind. It's just too windy to go driving a lot of days so far this winter. Sometimes the springtime is way windy. In the summer you basically need to get him out early because the wind can really come up by the afternoon.

I probably will get him back into the cart sometime this winter if I can get the girth around him but with all that hair, that may not happen:) Honestly, I don't like my harness and think I will order a new one. I am online on the miniature horse forum to try to figure out more on that issue.

The bridle has been adjusted and adjusted by me, by my super mechanical Hubby, by Cliff the guy who has had big draft horses and little miniature horses. The right blinker just does not sit properly no matter what we do. It isn't a deal breaker since I have been driving him just fine anyway but I am ready to throw it in the trash and get a better one. I think it is a cheap piece of dirt.

The harness is also cheaply made, doesn't have proper turrets for the reins to go through, doesn't have enough adjustment in the girth and no one can figure out the breeching straps that came with it. It must be missing a few pieces or something. Jan never used breeching but I would like to be using it so that Wiseguy has better brakes and going down hill would be doable. We don't have many hills here and miles of flat but I want to be able to go other places with him and there could be hills. Oh yeah, and the breast strap has this fluffy pad that you velcro around it and that thing is always moving to one side or the other.

I am ready to make an investment in a more suitable harness. I've lived with this one for long enough. I'll have to save up for January, February from my cleaning jobs. Eventually, I also might get a lighter weight cart but let's just spend our money a little at a time!!! My current cart is an excellent Jerald Easy Entry cart with wooden shafts but I might look for a CDE oriented cart.

Hey gang, I just sent a message to Imagine and mentioned NOT to boil your Nana, whoops I mean Nano's:facepalm:

I threw in my Nano when boiling some cartos to clean and it melted the tip :laugh: Now I am tipless? Anyway, most of the Nano is plastic. It still works, but I need to vape it without the tip. I tried the rubber replacement tips, but they pop off, too small. Just a warning.

You are FUNNY Rabbit! :lol:

Just curious.... you only got one nano? Why only one? Since you melted the tip are you just going to order another ONE? :confused:

Maybe I'm just a creature of excess! :facepalm:

I just received two more a couple of days ago. I still find them to have a very particular taste, not burnt, not plastic, but it changes the flavor of my juice. At least the one I have opened, used, and melted the tip still does not leak. I am planning to use the two that I have not opened when I finally make some good DYI. New flavors are out for deliver today.

Good morning again everyone! me and Cleo decided 5 am was way too early, (and too long to wait on the post man) and decided it was time to go back to bed. we just woke back up haha. how is everyone this morning? can someone pass me some coffee as well? x.x

Rave put the coffee on and it's still hot ;)

As far as vape mail... it will only get worse. Your journey is just beginning. I'm currently waiting for some of SI's new juices to come in today and since the T3's just came on site, now I have to wait until Friday before I can order some... that's torture!! Just hope they don't sell out before then!

Talk about hiding vape stuff from hubby? He just shakes his head when he sees me with a new color X2. I'm glad he can't tell the difference between the ego twist and X2... oh yeah, I have two ego twist now just to try variable voltage. Also just got an ego 400 mAh mini... it's soooo tiny and vapes like an X2. Longer battery life then the 78mm.

So... like I said... the vape journey of exploration continues and I LOVE every minute! :vapor:

Yeah, i feel like I'm going to dump too much money into this and my wife's gonna start to get upset!

but I am telling myself over and over that the x2 will be the last thing i order for awhile besides juices. only because I'm already just about $100 into refillable gear, and i haven't actually received any of it yet! haha, i think the x2 will actually put me at $100 just in SI products alone!

Dont tell my wife <.<

I feel for you partner:laugh: I have a stack of charge slips that I can't hide from my better half because she pays the Visa Bill. I want to order a T3, but I really do think enough is enough for awhile, just received two more Nano's and an X2 900 mAh. At the very least, she seems to be thrilled that I stopped cigarettes, and I can vape in the house YES!:thumbs:

Just tell your wife that this is an investment in your health. At least you aren't spending your money on something that you light a match to, it burns up and then it's gone... snuffed out into a stinky ashtray... and worse... ALL those toxins left in your body!!! That's a reminder for YOU as well as your wife. After you get these initial purchases out of the way, then you won't be spending so much.

that's what I keep telling myself anyway :?:

I have always spent my house cleaning money on smoking so Hubby didn't really know how much I spent but it was a lot upwards of $200 per month. So, I don't think I have saved much money yet but I am not in the hole, that is for sure. Since August when I started vaping I have spent quite a bit of money! I really want to try the T-3's and maybe go ahead and get some more Nanos. I'm hoping for a full report on the T3's before December 31st when the sale ends and I have to order to get the big discount:)

Hubby is thrilled that I quit smoking and hasn't said a word about how much this whole thing is costing. Of course, I pay the bills even though he brings in the paycheck so he probably isn't aware of exactly how much this vaping thing is costing!!!

PS - I am saving some money and now that I have everything I could possibly want for the next few months the cost should be way down. Although it won't be hard to spend $50 or so every month:)
