Probably some were after you and others just wanted to taste something they had never tasted.
She served you even after death. That's a Good Thing(tm) in my book. I think you did the right thing in putting her out of her misery and the jerky 'wake' was quite different. I might have done the same thing.
A cowboy knows it's time to change the boards out in the floor of his cattle hauler truck when a horse and a few cows fall thru it. ;)
You know how farmers and cowboys do things, if you know any. LOL :)
She was the best jerky ever! :)
We were all bragging on how good horse jerky was so another cowboy, to prove us wrong, made jerky out of a cow right way. All he managed to do was prove to us how super-good horse jerky was. LOL :)
Him too, BTW. :) He's cool! :)

Lightning would try to step on your foot while putting the saddle on her and other crummy tricks like that. I just saw 'em as a challenge others didn't like it at all.
At about 6am after a couple hours of riding... "what's with you cowboys riding those scruffy little mares? :/"
-fellow lion hunter riding a big fancy looking gelding (he's a rich dairy farmer)
"well, everybody wants a good looking gelding"
-Lightning's owner who was also riding a scruffy little cheap(!)mare
At about 2pm that afternoon the big fancy gelding was standing in the trail shivering and it wasn't cold! LOL :) The big fancy horse was weak and spoiled standing around in a pin for weeks at a time.
Me and the rich dairy farmer tried to get the gelding to take one step but he didn't budge and it was a good thing... he would've fallen over and rolled down that really steep hillside. I gave up and got on Lightning and rode her -up- the hill and then back down to the trail in front of the gelding and went on to where the hound dogs had a lion "treed" in a mine shaft. LOL :)
The rich guy showed up later on foot. LOL :)
Me and Lightning hauled the dead lion out and the gelding couldn't be made to get anywhere near it! LOL :)
Cowboys figured that gelding's heart was damaged that day. We never saw him again and never a mention was made of 'im neither. ;)
Alvin in AZ wan't a cowboy he was a dumb-railroader (signalape)
Yeah "polish and paint" will get that baby going all right! ;)
My dad gave me a free motorhome. After a few days thinking about it I told 'im... "I can't afford a free motorhome! :/"
He had a shit fit and told me how st00pid I was. LOL :)
Dodge based and maybe the same one you got? He "said" he sold it for $10,000 a week later. Yeah right. :) It too needed transmission work plus engine work and needed at least 6 new tires (235/85-16E's).
And, it was ~80 miles away with me having no way to tow it home so I could fix it up. I'd have to -pay- to have it hauled here. "no thanks" "can't afford it! :/"
I live and travel simple, -dohn- -need- -no- -steenkeen- motorhome.
Hey! That's it! A travco, I remember the name. LOL :)
What a piece of crap... transmissions going out at 45k or less! LOL :)
Yeah he bragged on that broke down piece of crap too. ;)
Oh yeah, that's right, he was bragging on that Onan generator and worked and worked at it and couldn't get it started. LOL :)
(mechanics at work never bad mouthed Onan engines and stuff tho)
He'd grew up on a farm and farmed too and had always been able to get anything running ...before -that- day. ;)
Piece of crap's like the 10'and 12'wide house-trailers on Craigs List... "free if you haul it off" xD
Yes, we are destined to have Dandelions since Ontario banned mnost effective herbicides. The new Eco Weeb Be Gone stuff kinda works, but since the city doesn't spray the parks any more, and i'm kinda between
2, it is an uphill battle. Add the drought of 2012, which killed off a lot of grass, and you get "the southern ontario rule of the summer lawn" - If it's green in August, it AIN' GRASS!!
Gotta get some of that "invisible" paint the US military has been hording that makes any plane into a "stealth fighter". The stuff they put on the black SUVs to hide the CIA agents working inside the country.
