Announcing my retirement..

From the ESPN boards, i have fought the good fight for many years there but have grown weary in my advancing years of mindless drivel spouters who don't know anything about football. I miss the Good 'ol Days when the boards seemed to have a much higher IQ, all around. I'll check in from time to time but just can't stand the hate driven politics, blind homerism, and mindless drivel that seems to pervade the place these days.

I'll stick to the BC board, the EVDO forums..(gotta have that damn Novatell USB modem for the laptop..LOL)and may just try to find a milder NFL forum. I've seen the masses and fear for the whole wide world....

I do take solace in knowing that I've witnessed the Insult Idiot and his many alter Ego's driven from the Colts Board and that it's now a place where the Colts fans can have decent conversations again..

Peace....

Yes, it is.. Me and a couple of friends will be heading to Claypool Courts and the OTB there to watch. (downtown Indy OTB)

There's a certain horse there, I will be very interested in watching.

My brother in law just bought a thourobred mare that ended her racing career here, and I'm thinking about buying a retired racer myself..(no breeding or racing just pleasure). Somebodys gotta give those old warriors a nice place to eat oats and apples... LOL

Hey 2Shock, thats cool..Im glad there are folks like you that rescue these retired race horses..Ive read quite a few articles of the tragic ending that usually awaits these creatures of beauty..Hey if you are interested I have contacts in Md, for retired race horses..

Yeah, I just don't know if I would actually have the time for it though Cravn, thats whats holding me back right now. Now if i was still living with the Ex and her duaghter i probably would without hesitating.. They could have taken care of the horses while i was working. I think alot of times people don't realize how much work horses actually are... I learned how to be a horseman at a very young age as my uncle always kept around 25 head on his place, so you KNOW where I sent most of my time LOL. One of the funniest things that ever happened to me was when he adopted some Mustangs, He hired me and my best friend to gentle the horses.. I had this bueaty of a Roan stallion going along very nicely.. I had him going at a full gallop one afternoon and he sees something that just flips him out, don't know if it was a stick he though was a snake or what but this 17 hand horse just stops on a dime right in his tracks.. sends me sailing head over heels probably a full 15 yards in the air... I swear I still think that roan was laughing at me while I tried to get my wind back.. Rode him home with no problems though..
