Horses And In Laws

I'm at my In Law's right now.
We came here to see a new horse that my Father in Law just bought.
His name is "Sticks", and he's a paint. A cool thing about him is that his birthday is the same as my son's, Feb 5th.

Its after midnight right now and I just came in from doing some more night photography. I hooked the camera unto my computer so I could do remote shooting which makes for a steadier shot.
The problem tonight is that the moon is pretty bright. Exposures over 5 minutes start getting washed out. Oh well. I'll try again during a new moon.
Tired. Night.

Night Shots

After rehearsal tonight, I took my camera and a tripod out to the lake to get some night shots.
It was all just experimental really.
I've been meaning to do that for a long time.
The limited light gives a very surreal look to the photos when you set up for a 30 second exposure.

They looked good on the display anyway.
I'll upload them to the computer for a better look tomorrow.
I'm beat. Night.

Rain!!!

It's RAINING!!!

We haven't had rain in almost 60 days.
My yard is thankful. So is the lake, which is drying up.

I think we'll be getting more rain tomorrow too. All of this while the rest of the country drowns in the deluge.
It's ironic.

Straightened Out

I had a little hiccup with my "short term disability" a few weeks ago that has FINALLY been ironed out.
My doc's visit from several weeks ago had the doc telling me I was not ready to be released for another 6 weeks. This didn't jibe well with the Disability office because the doc's clinical notes were not included in their update.
THIS caused them to stop my pay for about 3 weeks.
Not good. Not fun.

Ultimately, I had to go back in for another doc's visit just so I could explain to the doc that he needed to send detailed clinical notes and x-rays to the Disability office or I wouldn't be getting paid.
He was very understanding and got everything handled. I am now approved until June 15th.
I have to admit, I'm shocked that it's taking this long for this injury to heal. I realize I COULD be causing that myself... which is why I'm taking it easy from now until then. The doc says it's not me, it's just the nature of this type of break:Low blood flow means slow healing.
Gotta get this thing right.
At least now I won't be in the poor house while that happens.
