So anyone intersted in a lunch/brunch BS session? |
We try and use the old code of adding the temp and the humidity together to determine when it is safe to ride. Anything over 180 is no go for any horse regardless of condition according to the folks that are supposed to know it all.[laugh]

To determine whether your horse’s ability to sweat will be affected, add the outside temperature to the level of humidity for that day. For example, if it is 90ºF outside with a relative humidity of 15%, your total will be 105. If the number you get from adding these two together is less than 130, then your horse will be able to cool himself with little or no problems. If the number falls within 130-150, then the ability to cool will be moderately affected. If the number falls within 150-180, then the ability to cool will be greatly affected and your horse will probably need assistance in doing so. If the number is above 180, all normal cooling mechanisms will not work and you should take extreme precautions to protect your horse in this dangerous zone.
This comes from the University extension office and the Endurance riding folks. WHERE IN THE HECK IS THE HUMIDITY ONLY 15%? [laugh] |

ya'll missed one heck of a time at the cruise. can you believe some people don't like the black smoke?? talk about wierdo's. saturday night we had 16 diesel's together makin tons and tons of smoke. it was great i broke my traction bars and ended up having to take them off. there was alot of people that loved it though. i even had permission from several cops to do it, some of them wouldn't let me though. i'll hopefully have pics to post on here for ya'll.

Ok! I know you guy's are a bunch of animals. Back to the trucks. I was in Branson Friday night and I did see three Dodge diesels trailing each other. Only saw them going west they never came back while I was there. Who were they?
I'd love to get together if I had the time. It is kind of hot for horse rideing as well as working outside. We're so scatterd out it's hard to find a location that's works for everyone. I know there are more people around Springfield who occasionaly drop in on us here. Just wish they would make it a point to meet here some where. |
Ok, I have sent John another message about hosting a dyno day and volunteered our membership to help out if needed...
|
I missed the cruise for the first time in a long time. We had tickets to go to the drive-in through the wifes work and received them about 3 weeks prior to the movie. By the time the movie got over with it would have been 12:30 when I rolled into Branson which is way past my bedtime. So we went to the house instead of trekking to Branson.

tree dr what color was they and give me a description. it may have been part of my group before we got all 14 of us together.

Hey fellas,

Went out to work on the truck yesterday and actually broke a sweat ..... luckily I had plenty of frosty cold adult beverages in the fridge to fight off the heatstroke [laugh]. Man ... you guys have been busy. Everyone's meetin' up, smoking out and by the sounds of all the eating going on ... gaining a couple lbs along the way !! Anything happening this week / weekend ?? I'm hoping to be in town long enough to meet up with you guys. Cheers, PISTOL |
