    Hope Mr Ed is OK. Maybe you are shifting him at too high an RPM.

    One of the mares managed to fracture her tibia, in her stall and it still remains a mystery as to how. She is 184 days pregnant, so it has been an all out effort. MINI's are easy to repair compared to horses.

    MM, that is one of our biggest fears during hunting season. I have nothing against hunting, but its the hunters that scare me.

    It's their boolets that scare me.

    Just glad there wasn't a student on the horse at the time.

    That is for sure. Maybe they should be required to use rubber ones. :D

    Drove through Indy today and stopped at Dreyer & Reinbold MINI. Met with Mark and John, two MINI guys that "get it". Based upon today and the recent bad sales experiences at Midwestern MINI in Columbus, my next one is coming from Indy:biggrin5:

    That's a shame....
    Well keep up the good work getting her better. It's not always easy relaying that we "are here to help" with animals sometimes.

    On my front, our dog is recovering from having a Mast Cell Tumor removed. Once she's better, she starts Chemo. :(

    Hang in there Monica. We went through that with a dog a couple of years ago and he recovered. :Thumbsup:

    Thanks Jim.
    The amazing thing is she's as healthy as a horse :)lol:) otherwise.
    If we can just get through her anxiety in the middle of the night and waking us up we will all make it through :crazy:

    Wait a minute. Are you saying that dogs can be trained not to wake you up in the middle of the night? Never heard of such a thing. :nonod: :D

    Ugh, she's usually fine... but with everything she's going through, she'll wake up, circle the bed (while dragging her cone across you and it) and then just stand there looking down at us until we wake up....
    Ah, do you need anything dog? No? Just bored? WTF???? :mad2:

    Ah, the cone. They can be dangerous if it is one of the large ones. They can take you legs right out. :D

    Just to stay on topic, I just backed my MINI down the driveway and parked it at the bottom to avoid the construction trucks. :Thumbsup:

    My Pioneer head unit died last night.... :mad:


    Well its to the net to research a replacement.The model Pioneer I was using Pioneer AVD P6400CD.
    Any suggestions on a replacement? I can't believe how many head units are on the market geeeezzz!


    I use a DIN size unit with flip up screen would like dvd player and the only other requirement is 3 or more pre-amp out puts.
