FLP 2.0 ~ Day 24

Today we had a few projects to attend to: A. Get my Mother-in-Law set up with High Speed internet & B. Visit the Fort Worth Stock Yards. The internet project is in process, have to take the netbook back to Seattle to download Win 7 & set up an e-mail program for her. But the stockyards are always fun for me. I also got my horse fix in, my niece let me ride her horse for about 30 mins before we had to depart for the airport.

Since the gym was a non-option today - I hit the neighborhood for a walk. Kinda hilly. A brisk morning & looks like a sunny day awaits! Weather has improved to low 70's, slight breeze and bright blue skies. Overnight was down to 30 though! Headed to Sundance Square in DT Fort Worth later today. Hope to visit the Retro Cowboy Store!
