New Year's Part II: Snowmobile adventure

Snowmobiles......I always forget how much these rule!
Two-stroke powerband.
I might have to get an RD350.....
renenenenenenene-renenenenenene!

Dad was like a kid in a candy store.
So happy to have it running.
I know the feeling!

Chased Moyou and she chased me.

Powder!




Action shot.

Into the woods!

Deer prints everywhere.
She was on the search.
Wabash river to the right.

Booty shot.

Trees hugging.

 Lead the way.

Family photo.

 Jumping.
Duh.
Snow drift!

Moyou and me.



Thanks for the photos Dad!

Thanksgiving of Horses

It had probably been 20 years since I rode a horse before last weekend.

Credit and Blue

I grew up around horses but didn't ever really get to know any of them.  
I had some bad experiences when I was younger that made me not trust them.
These horses don't know me well either, I usually only say hi to them once when I'm around.

I have read and heard that horses are really sensitive to human emotion.
Before I rode Credit I wanted to hang out with him for a little bit because I didn't want him to be scared or anxious about me riding.  While I was brushing him, at one point he nuzzled in my chest for a little bit and looked at me as if to say everything is going to be okay......  
I am sorry I waited so long to connect with these guys.  
I hope I can hang out with them more in the spring.



Loving Cafe with Z and S.

Dad and his Deere.
THIS is how you unload a bandsaw.

Brake pad change with Happy dad.

.38 rounds in a 357.  Not bad?  I don't know.



Last weekend seems like such a distant memory.
Re-living the nightmare.
Embracing the pain.
Trying my best to stay strong for him.
Losing myself in the sadness.

Operating room and Moyou's birthday

The lift needed new cast iron wheels.  
Bought them close to size and turned them out.  
Thanks as always Ryan....

Slightly larger....

Moyou, "When will we get one of these, dad?"
"When you start paying rent."-Me

November is Moyou's birthday.  It will be 2 years since I adopted her in February.  
A new elephant, chew toy, and bigger bed.  
The american apparel stuff is on it's way.  Shh...she doesn't know yet.

I finally framed in the windows....almost done.
Baby blue racing stripes?


The first patient in the OR.  
Thursday bike night tear down?

Rice.

Veggies.
  Might have to rename this blog to rice and veggies for life.  Sustenance. 

The future

The thing about a broken heart is it makes it hard to look forward to anything.  
-like everything has had the fun sucked out of it-
These two made it fun again though.
I'm looking forward to adventures with them, Finley, and Korbin.
