In this exciting new feature for us West Coasters/insomniacs/Europeans I will post a status update from my cousin, who recently friended me on Facebook. Admittedly I may have made jokes to my fiancee that my 6 year old writes more coherently, or that I write better Spanish than he does English (I last took Spanish 17 years ago)....but I'm genuinely curious as to what the hell he is trying to get across. This recent post got 7 "Likes" so, someone must be able to decipher it.... right? Here's the post:

will got other 50 bales or hay in to day fun, but got have bath on horse rebeal, she looking good this year play in the fish pond today to cool down it been a warm sunny day out hear in [location redacted]

Besides the obvious, "hear" instead of "here" for instance, I really can't figure much of any of it out. There's only one notable spelling error (rebeal, which may mean something to people who raise horses?). The random commas are throwing me off too. Why only use that punctuation?

So have at it. Any idea what this is saying?

This is how I read it:

Well, I got another 50 bales of hay in today (fun), but then I got to bathe my horse Rebel, she's looking good this year. Played in the fish pond today to cool down, it's been a warm sunny day out here in [location redacted]!

I agree with zibodiz. Basically, your cousin was saying he worked his ass off today, either baling or storing hay (or both). And, depending on the types of bales he was making, that can be a lot of heavy lifting. Then, after finishing all that hard work, he gave his horse (which he's very proud of) a good scrub down (it's actually kinda cute to see someone give a horse a bath), and finally, he relaxed by taking advantage of the recent sunny, warm weather by taking a dip in his stock pond. He may or may not have let the horse play around in the pond, too. Without proper punctuation or antecedents, it gets a little fuzzy. But some horses like water, and they'll even roll around in the dirt to cool off if they've been worked really hard.
