On the good side I am down 4 unused saddles. I threw one away last year after deciding I didn't want to risk the thing ever ending up on a horse. I made one into a novelty chair. I sold the Stuben at convention last year and I got tired of looking at it and put mom's AP Wintec on Ebay last week and it sold. I had set a shipping cost of $40 for it. Actual cost at UPS was $69. Gulp. But its not about making money, I won't be in the hole even after ebay takes its sky high cut which they include shipping in what they take. So its all good. Better I get a just a few bucks for the saddle but it gets used by someone who wants it, then for it to sit in the tack shed for years again and then be something I have to deal with whenever I finally get to move out of state and leave this commie infested place behind. I'm just hoping the commies don't crash the economy too quickly and I'll be able to sell dad's place w/o too much pain. I have resigned myself to not moving while he is healthy enough to live at home, he loves the neighbors and easy shopping and stuff. And we do have great neighbors, but the state is veering towards socialism at a scary rate.
Saturday is our regional endurance convention. Hopefully it gets me all fired up to get back in the saddle on a regular basis. I've got an awesome horse, fuel prices are quite reasonable and I'm still employed at a nice salary so I need to be enjoying those blessings.
