My day off

Today I had the day off because the teachers were on strike...what a great day!  The day started off right by me sleeping in.  I had originally planned on doing a bit of riding for a lady with a large ranch (its calving season here right now), but I could not get ahold of her.  For the morning I cooked up a large helping of bacon and eggs and made delicious bacon and egg toast sandwiches then I caught a ride to the race track.  For some reason the race committee decided to hold their races on Wednesday so I spent the morning and into the afternoon drinking coffee (which soon turned to beer once the sun came out) and watching horse race after horse race (3000 meter steeple chase).  I even got the chance to talk to some of the trainers and owners.  Dang one horse owner I was talking to had three horses racing that day (each of them about $75,000 a piece, $10,000 stud fee!).   The rest of the afternoon I spent at the gun club shoot several rounds of trap and skeet.  For the finale of the day I made home made pizza for every body in the house!   Mmmm going to bed with a day full of relaxed adventure and a full tummy....life is good in the land of the kiwi's   Take care :D
