Paid bills this morning.
I don’t know why, but I hate it. Even tho’ I have the money to pay them, I just hate the fact of having to set down and write those checks out and watch the amount in my checking account dwindle! If I was rich in money (cuz I am rich in so many other things) I would hire someone to take care of it for me. And it is obscene how much money passes thru’ my hands each month, with what seems like so little to show for it.
Hooked up my team this afternoon and went up west and drug some logs out of the creek for Chance. He was up there cutting wood so he helped me hook and unhook on some. Finally had a peice break off the chariot so came home. Wind was blowing so I wore my little Fedora. Looks silly but stays on in the wind.
Roz has filled out this summer. I had to let her harness out. They were real good and did a great job. Looking forward to using them more this fall and winter. Wish now I had a horse mower fixed up to pull with them.

I can’t say bill paying is my favorite occupation either 😉
They look great!
Nice looking harness. Did you make any of that yourself? The traces seem thick for horses that size, maybe it’s an illusion of the picture. Or maybe they’re just tough pulling horses!
I still have a pair of hame clips that wore through on my grampas clydesdales. The size of them, you’d think they were elephants and not horses.
Og, I have patched on them some. Yeah, pretty thick traces, but it’s what was on there. I used these on my old team and they would pull some. Of coursem they were a little bigger than these.
I hear that when Grampa spoke to his best old team, Queen and Floss, something was going to give and evidently he didn’t want it to be the tugs!
I’d hate to have to buy a new set now, like these. Probably cost $1000 at least.
I hate paying bills too.

I used to repair the traces of grampas perches. Big ungainly things that you riveted on concord clips and hoped the rivets were tight enough to hold and not so tight they cut the leather through.
