Jocke, have I told you lately that I hate you?

Let's not go down to that dark place again, very scary down there, full of lume and long E's.... Not to mention those damn minute hands on growth hormones....

If you want it to look old and beat up,

why don't you just drag it behind the horse for a few miles?

Here's where we were today. Jerez de la Frontera Leo, at a competition. Notice I removed the 5513. I wore it today but I end up taking it off and putting it in my pocket when preparing the horse. He's big and all it takes is one whack and the Sub's a goner for sure. Better safe than sorry....

OK, she does much better at handling it than I do. It's only local competition so there is a lot of favoritism, nepotism or whatever you want to call it. She paced 5th out of 9, so not too bad. She works her tail off with this horse and they did really well. It's a matter of a judge and what they care or don't care to see. It's complicated. My wife has to shut me up most of the time cuz I want to go slap the judges, but, I guess that's just old age and me not being able shut up.

What is wrong with you?

You don't slap judges, you bribe them.
