rehab update

Several folks have emailed me recently, noting how long the blog has been silent and wondering if we are okay. Thank you so much for your concern! Yes, we're both alive and kickin & getting restless.

Butch's burn has finally closed up. I still put Corona on it a few days a week to keep the scar soft. Here are pics:

Quite a doozy, eh?

Battle scar to show off to the babes!










While the Butchenator was recovering, I had events on the home front that kept me out of the saddle for the better part of 6 weeks. We both turned into a couple of marshmallows. About two weeks ago, took Mr Mule out for the first off-property ride since early June. We took a short loop across the river, along the bridle path, down and back, about a mile. He was sweating! Couldn't believe it. And I was a little stiff myself, couldn't believe that either. Yikes. Doesn't take long to lose tone.

This is him a month ago:

Asking for the remote and a beer, no doubt. He's just soft though, not fat.

No pics of me, sorry. Use your imagination.

...Hey... I'm not that out of shape!!
