A bit of the short of it

The NRPS are playing at the GAMH tonight. It would be great fun to be there but the effort required to do that was just too much.
There's a fella boarding a couple of horses here. This is the first time I ever wintered horses here. Sandy used to graze her horses here during the summer but we always shut down the outside water for the winter and left the pasture empty. The man heat wrapped the water pipes but after the bad cold spell we've had for the past three days, no water is coming out of the spigot. I don't think the pipes are frozen, I think the spigot has broken!! I have the milk house heater going down in the well pump pit but I don't think that is the problem. The horse owner of course is gone for the weekend although the bad weather hit before he left and my opinion is that if you have animals that may need extra attention you don't go out of town for a freakin' party! The water is low in the stock tank and tomorrow (Thanksgiving Day) I may be hauling water from my house two gallons at a time as that is all I can carry with my bad arm.
