In Different Shoes

Words from audio found below.

First off, the audio is just AWFUL. Had to transfer from cassette to my digital voice recorder. My narration is a little rough because apparently I'm very allergic to something near my desk and my nose is stuffed. Either way, glad I'm done.

Here's all the words if you can't comprehend them:

10 oclock Im leaving. Im not waiting one minute. Im not waiting 30 seconds on somebody, Im leaving. Ya know, because if he doesnt show up when hes supposed to, maybe he wont show up at all and Im sure not going to sit there and wait on him.

You might consider Roy Evans teaching method old school. After purchasing the school in 1972, students know this guy doesnt mess around. In that time, the school has built a reputation attracting not only students across the nation, but even worldwide.

A lot of these people do, whenever they get outta school, they advertise through a ---- they get some cards printed up and they put on there they graduated Midwest Horseshoeing School which that right there gives them a big head start because this school has got a good reputation.

With bar steel provided at the school, students make their own shoes by hand. First by heating the steel, next by hammering it into shape and finally, by nailing it on. Since the hoof is like a nail, if the shoe is nailed correctly, the horse feels nothing at all.

CJ- Youre supposed to hold your knees at 45 (degrees) which is like sitting up against the wall. Just sitting there is what we do for balance and the ---- builds your legs up for this and its tough. Youre legs get burning.

Forges line the work area. The very same forges Evans used when he was a student back in the 60s. Its not that the school is outdated but even with technology advancing in nearly every aspect of our lives, the original method of making horseshoes dating back to colonial times, is still the standard.

The old way is still the best way so far. They tried glue on shoes and different things, ya know, they just dont work.

Even though the economy is down and everything, theres still demand for horseshoers right now. As long as theres horses, theyll need horseshoers.
