The dog woke me up this morning. "But you don't have a dog," you say. Nonetheless, there she was, next to the bed, barking me awake...

I got nine votes for town auditor, which is more than twice as many as anyone else got.

So now I'm apparently running a write-in campaign for the vacant town auditor position. My campaign slogan is "Because somebody has got to do it." If someone else gets more votes than me (I figure I might get five), at least the position won't be vacant again.

I just got a FB ad targeting local government officials for "Digital Government" software. I have no idea why they think I work for any government in any capacity.

My mom died last night, so if I'm a bit nonfunctional, that's why.

Welp, I guess I know what I'm going to be doing this holiday season... Empty carts, haul water, hang hay nets, etc.

When did Bruno became the "It's time to get on the trailer? Let me show you how it's done." pony? He's so different than the trailer-phobic pony we used to have.

I'm starting to think that he's not panicking because he's in the Epstein client list. He's panicking because he's in the Epstein business partner list.

I stayed on my horse. We stayed in the ring. I remembered my test. And we came home with a red ribbon to top it off.

I wouldn't stand around all day in the pouring rain for just anyone.

Did you know you can just *buy* construction equipment?

2011 model means the 5045 is not entirely made out of plastic like the newer models.

Sometimes the worst part of a fall is lying there thinking "Damn, I liked that helmet." It's still way better than lying there not thinking "Damn, I liked that head."

When I went to feed cows today, I said "Wait a second. That little nose wasn't at the feeder yesterday." Mom and baby are doing fine.

Bruno is by no means dull under saddle, but riding Fionn is a whole nother world of sharpness.

If you want to mount an NFS directory from within a docker container running debian:latest, you need to apt install both nfs-common and netbase. This has been your nerd thought for the day.

Who knew that cantering circles over ground poles is fun?

I may be getting a new car for Christmas. Requirements: 4 doors, at least 300mile range (so, probably a hybrid), small (so that it can fit in the garage with both trucks, the other car, and both tractors). Does anyone have recommendations?

It's amazing how spending some time with my pony improves my mood.
