Black Friday

Why do they call it that? Because everyone gets black and blue from pushing and shoving to screw themselves on so called “deals”?

Went out this morning and sorted off the horses from the cows and let the cows go west and the horses east. Let the calves and colts out in the big corral so I won’t have to run water in their trough in the morning. It’s getting pretty thick with ice. Maybe while it is going to be nice for a few days I better go chop the ice out and throw it out, to be ready for the next time I have to use it.

Gabe went with me and we spoiled the cows and gave them part of a bale to help lure them in the corrals. Then we mixed up some bean for them and hauled it up the creek with the pickup and looked around at deer. Seen one pretty nice buck. Wide, but not to tall of a rack, he had a bunch of does with him and looked tired! 🙂

We hauled the garbage to the hole down south and then drove around and found some more deer. Gabe thought I ought to be shooting them, but I explained I was just looking for cripples. I really didn’t feel like messing with a deer. Wind was kind of sharp, but it was in the low 30’s so felt great. After a turkey sandwich I rode to Rapid with Tate and Kass and boys. They dropped me off where Chance had left the Ford car he had borrowed. I picked up a couple tires for Purple and then a few odds and ends and got Gramma a 32 inch flat screen TV for our mutual Christmas present. She’s pretty excited as now she can read the info on the screen.

But why don’t they tell you a 32 inch TV doesn’t have a 32 inch picture? More like 26 or maybe 28 wide and not quite that high. She had to call the company so we could figure out how to hook the damn thing up. Sure is gonna make the bronc riding at the NFR more fun to watch! 🙂

I am looking forward to the warmer weather that has rolled in. Might be time to work with them Halfy fillies.
