Been busier than snot lately with trying to help out Mom at the farm, and working on getting a pretty big gift for Amy as well. Mom is feeling a whole lot better now after her spinal fusion surgery back before thanksgiving, its pretty much now just reminding her not do too much of anything as she's technically supposed to be not lifting anything more than 5 pounds and not bending or twisting her back. Thankfully, Wednesday she goes in to see the doc who should be able to clear her to do more stuff, as her stated goal is to get back in the saddle.
As for Amy's gift, stay tuned for that later. Too late now to back out of it.
