Stormin’ Norman new cart and harness
Sandy and I fitted Norman in his new harness, hooked him to his new cart and took him for a two-mile spin. We’re just working out the bugs, ended up adjusting the seat further forward, and are still seeing buckles to adjust as we work out the fitting foibles.

When you get a new horse, you often wonder what kind of background he has, is he playful, is he smart. Norman is very smart.

Stormin’ Norman’s 1st drive off the farm
We had Norman evaluated as a driving horse by a friend at our place. Now it’s time to take him away from our horses who continually whinny to him and distract him. He drove like a champ.

Busy chickens working for scratch
Often I wonder if there is something else I can do, than just throwing out a handful of scratch. It didn’t take any time, and I do mean ANY time at all for them to understand this concept. I do recommend that you try various sizes of holes in different bottles to find what works best. I feel these are a bit too large and that I have too many holes, so my next iteration will have less holes and a wee bit smaller.

Yaesu FT-991A GoBox
I operate with a battery, a transceiver and a resonant antenna at all times. Due to where I live it’s very difficult to property ground my radio. For those interested in getting into HF as cheaply as possible, this is the way to go. The antenna is a Deluxe MP1 Super Antenna, the battery is a Bioenno 12V 20 Amp.

Love to hunt but packing out the meat on your back one quarter at a time finally is getting to you because, well, frankly, you are a little older than you were 10 years ago? Are you a hunting guide?? Do you like to go into the back country on your quad but that elk just won’t fit on the back of your machine? Well, Save Your Breath For Bragging!
Do you need to haul fence posts, wire, and tools out into the pasture, or haul out that firewood from the tree you cut down five hundred yards from your truck? THE THE SOLUTION HAS ARRIVED. This is ATV Backpacker and due to its versatility, it is a item and . . . THE GOOD NEWS IS it is once again available. The company was purchased from the prior owners who wanted to retire, and after a two-year hiatus, it is once again being manufactured. Need more info?

Kenai’s leg
He bucked and caught a tensioner on a smooth wire fence. The hook went in and tore the deep flexor tendon, putting a Speer injury into the tendon. I put him on herbs from For Love of the Horse, and the proud flesh started to go down and be resorbed by the body. The vet said she was astounded and thought maybe it might just close up, which it did. The last picture shows my thumb next to a small scab. There is no scar now.

Kenai’s first European Skijoring
Kenai was being trained to pull me on skis using a travois. The travois was secured to a surcingle and the grab bar of the travois was snapped to a belt. The “snap” was a quick release clip that had a string to my wrist. If I fell down, the natural motion of my arms trying to arrest my fall would pull the pin and release me from the travois. This video was the early stages of Kenai’s training. He has since been retired and I have a new horse to train. But at its best, people use these travois’ at a canter or a fast trot through the fields and forest trails. There are many videos you can watch on stupidTube. It is for the most part a sport in Europe.

Scout drinks from a garden hose
I’ve been around a lot of horses but Scout is one in a thousand, maybe one in a million. He doesn’t just play with the water hose. He actually drinks from it.
