Jinxed!

My previous post must have jinxed me! Again, last night, they did not show the bronc riding. Sumbitches!

So, I got on the phone and spent quite a little time fighting this morning, cussing and letting them know of my scorn and anger!

Didn’t seem to impress them too much.

The last guy, had a strange accent, like he was from India. I asked where he was talking from. He said Pittsburgh. I laffed!

Of course, I never thought to ask if there is a Pittsburgh in India!

I told him he sounded funny and he said he was from Briton!

I told him he didn’t sound anything like any person I have ever talked to from Briton, and I have visited with quite a few, over the years. Then he said he had lived in Africa. Ahh! That explains it. He sounded almost just like Obama! πŸ˜‰ LOL

I eventually called the neighbors and found out they have the same server as I do, but a different set of channels, which I didn’t have. I called my server back up and got them, for an extra 10 bucks. And when I take them off in a week or so, they will charge me 5 bucks to do that. Oh well, still cheaper than any rodeo ticket I know of, at least a PRCA one.

So now I can see them in daylight even if I tape them and hopefully they will show the whole rodeo and not eliminate any events.

I know, those of you who are not Saddle Bronc Ridng fans probably don’t understand this, but I have a neighbor down there and this is the one sporting event I wait for all year. And to not get to see it after having paid for a subscription , is just a total crock of crap, to me!

By the way, it is winter here. Highs below 10 above this week they say and below zero for lows. We have a light dusting of snow and maybe more coming. Oh well, it’s been nice for quite awhile and we have plenty of feed on hand, so I guess we will make it. I took more bean up to the cows yesterday and they have lots of grass. Calves and colts get hay and bean every day and the horse bunch will get some hay once in awhile when it gets nasty out. For now, they are doing fine. So, bring on winter, I guess.

  1. I agree with you about the Saddle Bronc riding. It is the one event that I relly enjoy watching. Luckily, I have been able to catch it the last two nights. It is good watching. Lots of South Dakota boys making a hand.

    Here in Colorado we have about 4 inches of snow and is is 14 degrees at the moment, up from a low of 13, with a cold northerly breeze. Hope you have a good winter.

  2. Saddle bronc is our favorite too! We actually got all of the NFR but not til the next morning but then I wasn’t staying up until midnight to watch it either πŸ˜‰
