Phone calls update

 I did call the Strong Insurance agency.   They don't do appointments,  just drop in so I should drive to town Monday and talk with them.   

Still need to make appts with Dentist and HMO

Need to call my vet to discuss what to do with Tanza in light of the sesamoid x-ray.  Does he want me to get a stifle ultrasound to rule out two problems?   Does he think the sesamoid is treatable?  

I dialed the BCR company but got no answer so I need to email and or call them again.  I really want to get a dumpster out here and get to it with tossing stuff, selling the old horse trailer etc

Need to text Paul about my p/u.   Is his friend that is the 6.3 liter guru just busy or having health issues?  If busy I could get pickup hauled to friends place so it is there and he doesn't have to find time to drive clear out here,  if health issues maybe I need to find a repair place to work on it.

I did ride Taj yesterday.  He got himself all sweaty and my arms were tired after just the 3 miles even though I was trying to avoid constantly pulling on him.   But he was not horrible,  a couple of nickers and wanting to rush a bit but not a big meltdown.  

B was out and we cleaned pens and I made hamburgers and a box Mac and cheese.   Did get the stuff cooked but it was mess cuz I only pulled the burgers out at 10 this morning, and I thought they'd thaw in the cooler bag.  I should have put them in water right away since I didn't put them in the fridge last night or sooner.   But I got some separated and cooked up.   B had to leave early to help another of her friends pack, he is moving across country.  I scraped a bit more muck off in a few spots after she left and managed to get several bucket loads of sand hauled to fill in the low spots so they won't get soggy so fast without getting the tractor stuck.   I put Tanza in with Lady so he wouldn't overdo and also did not let the other horses out to big pasture.   It worked, Tanza did come loping a few strides when I brought Lady's grain,  hopefully not enough to aggravate anything.   I didn't get Surpass on him last night, so him being better tonight has me wondering if the Surpass is actually making him more sore.   If it makes him feel sore but fights the inflammation I should make a point to put it on every day.
