Oh my gosh, that's universal!  I *hate* going to Bill's parents' house
it's like a refrigerator!  His dad has his bill for a 2500 sq ft. house
down to about $25!  Meanwhile, Danny Herlong told me that at his parents'
house he has to turn on a light, look really good at the room and then
run like hell to cross it before his dad turns the light back off! >g<

I blame the farriers of the world for my problem. I cut all these darned
corners to afford good shoes. That's the only place *in the world* that I
splurge at all. No, wait, there's hay. Alright, hay and shoes are where I
spend like a crackhead that won the lottery.

Here's my problem. I do math in my head all the time to justify things. I
did 8 rides this year and that was a good year for me. If I bought a
trailer with living quarters how much would the payments have been for
the year? Now, divide that by 16 (nights at rides) and that's how much it
would have cost me per night not to sleep in my truck. Then I figure up
how many shoes that would buy, or bales of hay. See what I'm dealing
with?  Some people (like Bruce) sit around and think of how they can work
more to make more money. I'm always figuring out how I can save money to
do less work! :-))
