#Shoftek!

So glad you’re feeling better this morning. Feeling normal again after the week you’ve had is a win all by itself.
And listen to you, already scouting horses 😄 That mare sounds impressive: explosive take-offs, stretching out with her head low between barrels, then rating and collecting herself in the turns. That’s the kind of run that makes a barrel horse special. Grit can’t be taught.
The no-patting-her-backside rule made me laugh, though. She’s all business and wants it known. Some of the best ones are like that: no time for affection, only work. Sounds like she and Tinker would’ve understood each other. Was Tinker one you trained? I’d love to hear about her.
Have fun trying her out later. Just do me one favor: no celebratory pats on that mare’s rear. I’d like you to come home in one piece 😏
What’s her name, and how old is she?

I spent my morning at the trade school. I taught people how to read and basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). I had one interesting student. He was actually quite bright. He did a simple acceleration-velocity problem with Algebra. He asked if that was the only way to solve the problem. I showed how to do it with calculus. He was excited and I told him to watch videos on the tablet about how to do it. I like teaching.

Also, I had extra time so I went to the carpentry area. I made something cool. You will find out in a little bit but it is cool. Hopefully the chores don't take too long and you can enjoy your day outdoors.
