Sorry to hear that didn't work out, Don... but I gotta say that in my experience, barrel racers ain't the most dependable gals.
One of 'em taught me a little song that she said was the barrel-racin' gals' universal love song. It goes to the tune of the "Bonanza" theme, and it goes like this:
Get it up Get it in Get me off Don't mess my hair-do
Anyways. Just sayin'.
