I keep expecting to see a water spout. When Bacall and I were on the dock the wind almost knocked us both off. It came up very suddenly. Lol

Rain let up a bit and she was heading back out. She loves watching the fish and the rays and the Bonnet Head sharks swim around.
I need to go to the store but the rain has returned even harder. 
The beast 
I LOVE this bare back pad! Every bare back pad I've seen or bought is just a nylon cinch that sucks. This one has an actual girth that has some elastic on one end, making it so easy to cinch up it's not even funny. Especially for an old lady like me.
It's soooo comfortable and it stays put! I only put the saddle pad under it to add more padding. 
And a bare back pad keeps your pants clean! Dear God, they get dirty on a horse. And it doesn't take long for the horse to sweat and oh yuck. This is soooo much better! When I was younger, I didn't care and rode without one if the horse had a good back and not a bony withers (like Stilts!)Thursday, my farrier was here and when he finished, we were talking in the barn. Behind me, my granddaughter was sitting on top of the corral fence, looking like she wanted to jump on Cheyenne, who was right by the fence too. My farrier said, "When I was a kid, I'd be jumping on that horse 'bout now." I turned around and saw what was happening and said, "Oh, yea, me too! I do it a lot even now." So I told her, Go ahead! Jump on! She did!
And you should have seen her shorts after just sitting on her bare back for those few minutes.
I saw all the rain in FL tonight on the news and was wondering if you were getting any of that!

Awesome photos all!Weekend Photo Dump
I don't know if I am mean for posting this. I won't tag TropicalBris because I am always reminded of her when I see good food prices (she has talked about the really high food prices and the crummy grocery stores where she lives). Now, understand that we don't buy regular old eggs like this because we don't like to support the deplorable conditions in which the chickens are kept – even if they are especially dumb animals; but this kind of price I do appreciate because so many things are rising and rising in price.
I sometimes cite, when talking about if one is on a very very tight budget, that a pound of bologna could be had for $.69 on sale, a dozen eggs for the same price. Cheap bread for about that same price. A can of beans as well. Then there's always the renowned ramen packets for like $.25. I used to live on all that stuff, in addition to $.99 hamburgers from fast food joints.
So I see the importance of cheap food.

I was thrilled to have it!! We have been dry for a couple of weeks.

What weight did you settle on? He looks fantastic in the pics. Nice trim waist, and a hint of ribs when exercising.....perfect!
Eggs and milk have dropped dramatically here too! I'm not sure why. I've heard its a 'price war' thing with a Meyers going up in town. (not MY town, but the closest big town to us where all the shopping is.
) But you have it now too, so IDK. lol I saw some eggs for $.49! And a gallon of milk for under $2.00.
Our daughter and her family are back home now. But when they were visiting last week, we had a hot day when the kids went in the spa. I was out cleaning stalls and when I came back to the house, I handed my phone and Fitbit to my daughter, and headed to the spa! She's like, "You're not going to do what I think you're going to do?" Oh, yes, I am! I jumped right in with the kids! Clothes and all!! The grandkids know Grandma is a nut!!
I tried to lure Kali in, but she's too smart!

Thanks. I'm trying to keep him at 80-82 lbs. He got below 80 and looked too skinny IMHO

No agility this week so decided to sneak out to the dog park this morning and work on our recall and leave-it's with the e-collar. This thing has been such a great tool for keeping her out of situations that I know could escalate; even between other dogs.
Isn't your Fitbit waterproof? I can leave my Garmin on for everything since it's waterproof down to something like 50'.
That's how Albert is with his Euro frame too. I've learned where he looks good and try to maintain him there or he'll start looking way too thin.
No, its not waterproof. I could have gotten the waterproof one, but I didn't like the look of it. Too bulky. I'm so used to removing the Jawbone when I had it that its not a big deal. I don't really trust 'waterproof' anyway. My phone is 'waterproof' but you won't see me testing it!
Man, your weather is consistent......HOT. lol115 degrees in the forecast for today

How are prices like that even sustainable? Who can make a profit? Surely not the farmer, nor the grocer. If we buy eggs from Walmart, we could get them for $5.88 and that is considered cheap. (That's 4.69 USD so it's not all in the exchange rate.) Costco has a similar price but for 24 count and free range. The yokes are not a deep yellow so we end up adding a dash of turmeric to them for improved visual appeal. Problem with Costco is that we can't eat that many so we end up sharing some with Kaiser which is annoying because his fancy a$$ is already getting raw food.
