ww: not again

Two big* concerns this week, guys. Ugh. 

First up: surprise surprise, it’s mid August and the mare has early signs of rainrot, again, ughhhh
 
i really thought we were past the worst of the season, but am determined to not be caught flat footed — so we did another chlorhex scrub-a-dub
 
lol, only did half the mare tho bc natch the *day* after our big show, the weather turned mild and cool. cross your fingers for us that we started treatment quickly enough!
 
ooh and Item #2, perhaps, in the grand scheme, a *slightly bigger deal, ymmv, my (un)trusty craigslist #redneckmobile started making HORRENDOUS noises on the way to Waredaca this weekend…. The drive home was, uh, stressful to say the least. 
 
mechanic literally heard me pull into his lot and met me at the door with a quart of power steering fluid. all things considered, not as bad as I feared. hopefully we can keep the voracious beast quenched with topping off the fluids until we can get in for our scheduled repair appt! 


That’s my drama for the week…. anybody else got any carnage going on?

  3. We need to sage this week or something. I'm sick. My dad is in the hospital cardiac ward. Plus work stress. I'm sorry about the rain rot and the fluid-guzzling truck. Glad it wasn't something more serious.
