Hey, guys! The Columbus Toy Show is coming up and I'll have three tables of vintage toys, including hundreds of ponies from all generations! It's in Columbus, Ohio on March 20th at the Ohio State Fairgrounds, Lausche Building.

Pic is of my table from fall 2021 show and I'll have yet ANOTHER table of stuff.

Nah, not sad! They're just thinking far off thoughts, not really in this world. I think they're adorable and wouldn't change them for anything Also, I love the much more "horse" like design to them than current generations.

Maaaaan, I ca NOT wait to travel again! I miss the long drives, changing scenery, and freedom of no responsibilities or expectations. I haven't had a solid road trip since 2019, when I drove from Columbus (Trotcon) to Orlando (Pony Fair) to Baltimore (BronyCon) on consecutive weekends. I had so much fun stopping at tourist traps, swimming in Devil's Hole (prehistoric sinkhole that's 80' deep), and eating at places I've never seen before. The drives out west... I love driving over the Great Salt Flats on the night of a full moon. The ground absolutely glows this ethereal blue and is soooooo distracting. And, in the morning, as you enter Nevada, you can see fog rising from the ground and the sunrise reflecting red off the mountains.

I do day trips all the time. Went to Dayton a few weeks ago to hit up some vintage toy shops and thrift shops. I'm planning on going up to Mansfield this summer to track down more info about a woman whose painting I bought at the thrift shop. Maybe, if I get the job I hope I do, I'll do an overnight into Kentucky and go paddle boarding in a cave!

I got my runner's bib in the mail last week! I'm up to 30 miles. It doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm really proud of that considering how awful the weather's been and how icy/muddy/flooded the trails have been.

I've applied for a new job that is 5.2 miles from my house if I take the local Greenway bike trail. Looks like I might become a biker if I get that job! And at 10 miles a day, I'd be gaining mileage fast and finish that challenge much sooner than anticipated.

I haven't received my running bib yet. But, I'm also sure things weren't supposed tos tart shipping until March.

200 miles ALREADY?! DANG! I'm up to 25 now. Snow and rain and ice here have been making long excursions unsafe. I'm hoping I can get out on the trails more when the weather gets nicer.

Whelp, toss first release Blossomforth on the list. I was getting her all cleaned up to give to a friend and a chunk of hair came out when I tried combing it. I was able to rip out the rest of her mane with one good tug. She's in the bat box now because she has some chew marks to her nose too.

They way the mouth is molded isn't detailed enough and it doesn't look like there's a magnet or the plastic cover in either of the front feet. Plus, the single colored mane doesn't have tinsel and I can't think of any single colored mane G3s without tinsel. My money's on a fakie.

What an amazing find! Congrats! I hope I get so lucky one of these days. Harder, considering I'm in the US, but not impossible!
