Sorry, folks, there’s not going to be much action around here for a while.
For those unaware, I’ve started my own sleigh and carriage ride company and reached an agreement with a soon-to-be-named resort in Stowe to get the ball rolling when the snow flies.
I’ve been doing sleigh rides in Stowe for the past three winters as a freelancer for another company, Gentle Giants. But the time was right for me to start my own endeavor.
This new draft-horse gig will require three horses, three sleighs, and a couple of part-time employees/drivers. And, I’m pleased to report, I’m only one sleigh short of those goals. It’s been rather hectic around here.
I’ll be using my trusty Belgian, Big Jim, for the bulk of the rides on the six-person sleigh. My jet-black Percheron/Canadian, Bart, will be pulling the “romantic” couples sleigh. And the brand-new (to me) dappled grey Percheron mare, Annie, will be filling in for the boys when they need a break and teaming with Big Jim when the soon-to-be-acquired 12-person sleigh is obtained.
It should be interesting.
For now, it’s horse training and exercise time, with every extra moment spent on hopeful thoughts about a very snowy season.
Thanks for your patience.
Jesus. From The Waltons to My Friend Flicka. What this site needs is a good dirty pome:

make abortion a capital crime

put the dollar bill on the flag
shut down the Internet
and make the disabled
go out and work for a living

yes Mr. President
give it to her good
give it to her once for me

Great image presented in that poem!
Perhaps you should see if the Free Press or Times Argus or Seven Days would publish it. I don’t see why they would object.
Actually, I refined it a little (some minor word changes) For Missy Beatie from COUNTERPUNCH cause she wants to send it to Cindy Sheehan. So what I got here on Moike’s blog is like the rough cut–close enough for government work. (At least, Michael, it ain’t a birdies go tweet pome, like all this Waltons stuff–”Goodnight Boots; Goodnight horsies”–you’ve been posting lately.
Actually already did send it out to Seven Days (they ain’t got no sense of humor) and some other sites. I should see if I can get through to Shouts & Murmurs at The New Yorker–can’t wait to put it up on GMD and Get PC Purged again.
Yawn…I think it would be better if you could get CHAMP to give the sleigh rides. Then you could say: “Better tip me good; my horse is hungry.”
“What kind of horse is that?”
“A water horse.”
“A quarter horse?”
“CHAMP–Dinner is served!”
I expect your next post to be political and, hopefully, politically perverse.
Excellent!! I need to see these horses, I used to work at Mt View Stables in Barre many decades ago. The ower had “Big Sam” 1/2 Canadian work horse, he was awesome. Phil P would ride him in all the parades. Beautiful, huge, horse.
COME ON, MICHAEL!!! I got a hot comment from Donny Osman from Oct. 12 I want to put up on your next ‘homespun’ post. So put up something–ANYTHING–about Aunt Bea and Opie and Barney.
Jesus F!
Well, I guess this is our October Surprise. Michael has absolutely no dirt or comments to offer on the big Hope & Change ORGY, Nov. 2.
Must be he plans to run in 2 years.
Yeah, on horseback. That would be convenient though. Right after he’s sworn in, we can hang him.
Why are you not commenting on the election results, It’s exciting, things are close, fun in politics. The rest of the country is falling apart though, its very bad. Russ Fiengold is losing, only one who voted against the Patriot Act.
I voted for Boots, that was fun too, Chris Erikson works too hard to not get any votes. And I got a sticker.
Snarky Boy shot himself while sighting his gun in for dear season……….to bad to becuase that was going to be the first big push for the new business. Sleigh ride hunting, for 100.00 a head you get all the Coors Light you can drink, one bullet and a chance to shoot people in Stowe. Oh course you had to have a valid Vermont drivers license
DEMOCRATS could Fuck-Up an AMBUSH.

A Republican Congress will allow that?

Doesn’t effect Vermont?

Do you think at all?”
