FYI – I changed the side bar info a bit (you know – new year and all that….at least that’s a good excuse for my continual tinkering!). As I reviewed the Desert Gold ride-recap I realized I had more thoughts I wanted to add. In my head-cold fog, I wrote down the 3 thoughts on […] more

I was told in no uncertain terms by my tevis crew that next year I WILL have a folding cart, similar to the aluminum folding carts that were seen at the ride….After pricing the carts at $220-350 (although they do come cheaper if you search for “marine folding aluminum cart” and buy from a non-horsey […] more

Some of you may remember my mother’s (Carolyn) comment on an earlier post about my old blog layout resembling a comfortable pair of jeans that are ready to be thrown out….I […] more
