    It looks alright but it ain’t the same as a pot.
    I understand the need to be home more often but one day in the future you are going to want to hook up to that pot again, even if it is just one time to help a friend out. Right now, you need to stay close to home and Doc. Your wife may appreciate it too!! Take care my friend.

    You have a lot, so that will take some digging.

    I suppose that's a good idea for now under the circumstances. Ya think Doc will want to ride? How's the pup doing? Has Doc got it trained yet?

    She’s pretty timid. I had given up on her riding……I may give her another chance

    @wore out well my experience is that the more they are exposed to something the easier it is for them to except it. However I never force them. Feeding them in the truck is a good way to teach them that its a good place to be. Just a thought......

    Parking area there reminds me of the Fairgrounds in Radford, VA. Closest ample yard to circle 7 of J.T. Garrard's finest one night.
    At $50.00 a head cash bond, tried in absentia, $35.00 forfeit and I got my refund check drawn on"The Commonwealth of Virginia"

    It’s a tough deal brother and my heart goes out to you and yours— took me a couple a years to heal up enough to step back on and I’m glad I did, but every time I look at these 2 #### birds I get about half choked up— keep him comfortable but don’t let him get to where he’s suffering is all I got
