I'm probably going to put Bee(tle Baum) in with Tanza for a while.

I felt Lady's ribs today and she's getting plenty fat.  Bee is not bad but has the least fat between his ribs of all the horses here and he and Tanza are often visiting over the fence so I'm sure they'll get on fine so I think I'll just give Lady her every other day previcoxx in an apple slice and put her in the big somewhat diet pen group and have Bee with Tanza for a while.  Probably I'll have to rotate who is in with Tanza so I don't have a too fat horse.

Tanza is also looking pretty good so I'll cut down the amount of hay to him and whomever I have with him as well, but I still want him to have a bit more hay.  I don't need to have maximum high octane food going into my already energetic boy.

I've been pecking away at tree trimming.  I got a new chain for the pole saw and got smart enough to grab the 3-step mounting block to reach higher branches.   I don't have the arm strength to use more than 2 of the 4 lengths for the pole saw and its also no good reaching too high so the block is nice.  I need to drag out the ladder for some branches I feel I should cut down to reduce risk of branches damaging the house or garage roof but its getting there.  Tomorrow I want to move my little horse trailer and hook up my gooseneck.   I should have done that this weekend and dropped the trailer off at the repair place today but I guess I'm still kind of hoping dad would take the trailer in to drop it off, but he would wait until I need it next spring if I just wait on him plus I'd like to have the trailer gone and see if I can get someone to cut that dead tree down.   I'm thinking we'll have to move panels where the mini's are so the tree or some of its branches can come down in those directions and not break the panels.

Saturday we got the new TV I got dad to buy last weekend delivered and set up and the old 37inch tube TV that quit working hauled away to be recycled by Best Buy.   Last night Clint Eastwood movie Pale Rider was on and I enjoyed watching it on the high resolution 43" screen and getting to enjoy the mountain backdrop and so on.  Of course the downside is I might have done something else if dad was watching it on the little portable TV he had been using for the last few months.  But it was ridiculous, he pays $$ for direct TV and then just using the old portable TV to watch when new TVs are relatively cheap.

This morning I did some raking up of the area around Tanza and Lady's half barrel hay feeders.  That is the other reason I'm going to cut back some on the hay to Tanza and whomever I have in with him for a buddy.   Too much wasted hay.   I try to keep raking up the stalks they don't eat and give those leftovers to the mini's but I need to have dryer ground around the feeders to make that work better.  My arms are whinging that I did too much raking,  I need to have dad call the skidsteer guy again.

Sis had invited us for Thanksgiving and I told dad I guessed we could.  Now I don't really want to spend the time driving because there is so much I need to do.  I'll have to call her.  I don't want to not go and Dad's health takes a bad turn but we did get a good visit in August.
