Winter Confession

I know you've been losing sleep over the whole frozen water tank issue.  So lest you toss and turn another night thinking about my poor boys having to go break ice and very nearly freeze to their deaths, well, worry no more!

You rememer this?

 Do you see that device in there on the bottom right part of the tank? That's a neat little tool. It's supposed to keep the water from freezing.  The trick is to plug it in without electrocuting yourself or the horse.  You have to sort of hide the cords so she doesn't try to bite through the cord or pull the cord with her hoof.  You know...tricky things like that.
 The other tricky part is making sure you have enough juice to run the hot wired fence so the horse doesn't try to run free and still have enough to keep the water from freezing.  Also, now- I'm not an expert or anything-but not setting it up until the day after the coldest night in history may not be the best strategy.  Maybe you want to have it installed and working on the day of the coldest night in history...just sayin'.
 But no worries!  We...er...I mean, he as in Brandon, had it all set up in no time. Girlfriend got plenty to eat and plenty to drink...


Dang!  Girlfriend's looking a little shaggy.  Girlfriend needs a shave.  I know how she feels...I tend to shave less in the winter too when I know my legs are going to be covered most of the time.  What???  TMI??  Puhleeeez!!!  Don't tell me you keep up with your summer shaving routine throughout the winter!!  Just keepin' it real!
