David Bowie knew what he was talking about. 

We are off to our first A rated show in years this Memorial day weekend.  Taking 2 horses.  I bought some new things for the trailer to make it easier.  Got a closet storage hanging bag.  I have filled with a sewing kit, safety pins, super glue, extra collars, braiding bands and a tide pen.  Bought a battery powered steamer, for when the show clothes fall off the hanger and no one notices until you get them out of the bag.  Mirrors that were made for school lockers, magnets on the back.  They have a small generator on sale and I might get that.  Would be nice to have electricity.  More later
