D, I was going to guess that there were different shoes for horses who were ridden on paved surfaces, but I wouldn't know what. I'd think the kind ranch horses wear would be slippery on asphalt... just a guess.

Guess what I did this evening... tie-dyed a bedsheet and some shirts for the girls. I had thought it would be kind of a group effort, but the kids got tired of it after a while... however, I'm sort of addicted to it! I want to tie-dye everything in sight.

I'm sure there is some kind of horseshoe made for pavement tho?

I got to thinking about that when I saw some police horses the other day.

I know a guy around here who sells tubes over the internet to people from all over. Believe it or not he is very busy. Enough so that he has his own shop to handle the work load.

Could start a new trend. Tie Dye underwear.

Art, my husband probably knows that tube guy!

Tie dyed underwear - yes, the oldest already thought of that. In fact, if hubby had any white undies, his would have been tie dyed, too.

Note to self.... a guy who loves beige, yet is willing to don tie dyed undergarments... what does this mean?

He he he, She said 'underpants' he he.

The Joker · 26 February 2013, 01:18 AM

Technically she didn't actually say underpants. Just posted a picture that did.

Probably so. I doubt there are many of them around.

But they probably think we're nuts for our watch habit.

Some folks refer to them as "draws" around here.

I call them skivvies.
Ladies wear skivvies or frillys (frillies).

I've heard of that. Isn't that a military term as well?

They are, there is some rubbery kind of stuff they can coat them with for special circumstances, like a rodeo parade or something when they have to walk on pavement for a bit.

I'm still laughing about the tie dye cat. Never mind the peppers. Someday I'll tell y'all about the crazy 8th Dan Tae Kwon Do Grandmaster and the way the hell too hot, hot sauce. But meantime...wanna see my new watch? WHEEEE!

FeelingTheBlues · 26 February 2013, 12:54 PM

Mikki, that watch looks incredible! I love the crown and the dial has been re-lumed in a very nice way! I must admit I usually avoid such duals as the job is usually very bad but whoever did it on yours has my admiration for he is excellent!

Congratulations my friend.

mikkibarry · 26 February 2013, 01:00 PM

I didn't even know it HAD lume when I bought it, Carl. Imagine my surprise, when I was shooting those photos, and turned the lights off. That was a "whoa" moment :-) I knew that the dial had been refinished, I just really had no idea that the lume was there and SO very nice.

Mind if I pick your brain at some point re: finding a movement, dial and hands for a really nice case? I think the dial has to be about 20-21mm. Wheee!

Art 1 · 26 February 2013, 01:04 PM

Congrats, Mikki. Nice one!

Well the whole refinishing job looks excellent!

May I see pictures of the case?

Lisa · 26 February 2013, 01:36 PM

Congrats on your new watch, Mikki! Is that called the "cushion style" case?

I shall tie dye another cat in your honor.

YAY! I have a black one, but I think she wouldn't come out nearly as pretty :-) And yes, I think it's a cushion case. Like a cushion cut precious stone that hubby should buy me. I think I'll choose......uh.......green tourmaline
