Weekends in Cancun! Gary you will be happy to know that the highest paid hourly cast members in our Service Trade Union are the skilled workers that shoe our horses. When Minnie Mouse, Snow White, and our Princesses have a problem with that, I tell them about that guy in his van that came to CW, and the way he’d calm the most jumpy horse by just saying “Hey Darlin.’” Then he would then grab their business hoof, set in his lap and go to work.

Buddy of mine is a farrier. Shoes the fancy show horses whose owners have more dollars than sense. He gets 300-400 per horse and often does 8-10 a day, 6 days a week. So, yeah, I can see how the farriers get the biggest bucks. And to think I did it for free on every show I was on

Well my wife dragged me down here so I´m doing my best to make the most of it-Yuck yuck yuck! Getting eye strain from all the eye candy on the beach! Reality will hit home tomorrow when we get up to go to the airport! Shannon I expect a dot on the map now? Gary

Gary, you old lucky dog you! Wish we were down in Cancun relaxing and having a tall, cool margarita! You enjoy it all and send me a post card. I have your video somewhere, but in the move back to FL, it could be anywhere. I will get it to you one day. Promise

Well I'm back and just alittle more sunburned than normal but I did have fun! Hope your move back to Fla wasn't stressful? It's one thing to move all the time like Circus but when you stay in one place for a while you gather too much junk! Gary

I noticed three Africian punks on Carson and Barnes. The picture is on Jims blog.

That picture must be 20 years old.

Buckles is right -- 1983 for all those C.B. shots - I even had a pair of pants like Bob was wearing -- plads were in ( or whatever you call that type of pattern)
