Don't pay the Ransom........

[Halfway Creek Charlie]

....I've escaped! 
Well not really. 
It seems my part time Equine services gig has become full time and 1/2. Since Thanksgiving. One of my part time clients was thrown from her horse and suffered a broken arm. That became a full time job for me and will extend through jan and possibly become full time anyway. Another full time client got a promotion and my duties expanded to picking up the slack when she travels. It too has become almost full time. I'm gone from dawn to dusk(read full blown Dark As The Inside Of A Cow to DATIOAC).

On top of all this I have lost my shop and my place to live due to my landlord's loss of the property. So when I haven't been working I have been stowing way too much stuff, and getting ready to move this 5th wheel off the property.

My computer crashed sometime in late Nov. and I just got it repaired and back up last evening.

To add insult to injury I lost my cell phone in Dec and finally got it replaced last week.

I haven't fired a shot since Oct.

This online service will be disconnected by the end of the month when we have to be out of here. I hope to stay in the Acton Area, but that remains to be seen.

I'll try to check in as much as i can. I do have this and all my regular websites bookmarked into yahoo book marks, so I can access them from about any computer.

Good to see you back on line again. Sounds like you've had a string of bad luck. Hope your present situation works out for you and you find a place to bunk. We've missed your input and advice. All of your CAS pard's are with you. Ride'em cowboy!

Glad you are back and kicking. Good luck!
