Kelvin and I and others, spent the last two days gathering in the breaks and then working the cattle. Got most of them gathered yesterday with not a lot of riders. Went back and gathered the remnants today and got them all worked. Left a lot of horse tracks and had some sore butts. Here’sContinue reading “Sept 21, 10”

Kelvin and I took off this morning, trailer and horses in tow, and went up to the Hills and rode to Harney Peak and back. Took 3 hours up and about 2 and 1/2 back down. Pretty! Pretty rough in some spots. All the hikers wanted our horses. None had enough money to buy them!Continue reading “9/17/10”

Slept in ’til almost 7 this morning. Next two mornings will be early starts. Kelvin and I rode west and north looking for the lost bull. No luck. But I snapped some pictures. Be sure to click to make them bigger, Sally.

More cattle work for me and Kelvin today. We worked the pairs I am summering. Neighbor helped and all went well. Kelvin and Beav made a real cool looking move on a bulls he was sorting. I tell this guy is gettin’ to be a good hand! Then this afternoon we got Cindy to rideContinue reading “Monday 9/13/2010”

9 years ago that they crashed the Towers. Who would have guessed then that the things that are going on today in this country and around the world would be like this? Kelvin and I went to the Hills on Thursday and helped Dustin and his boss work some cattle. Had a great ride andContinue reading “Saturday Sept 11, 2010”

Yes the wind is blowing, but it didn’t get too serious about it until after dinner. Yesterday, Kelvin and I brought the cows in and with the help of Fr Tyler vaccinated the calves with their fall shots and poured them with Ivemec. Then Kelvin and I drove up just south of Buffalo, SD andContinue reading “Windsday Sept 8, 2010”

The gig at Devils Tower was great! Bonnie, Marty and Paul really wowed them. The crowd was even polite enough to clap for me and my sorry pickin’ and poems! Got 1.10 rain last night and this morning! Woohoo! Just what the doctor ordered. Cindy Kass and Cindy’s mom, Karen, canned peaches and plum jellyContinue reading “Labor Day 2010”

A day late. Yesterday was Cindy’s 50th birthday. We have been together longer than we have not. Odd,  she seems the same women I met all those years ago. Maybe better! I must be a real good teacher! 😉

I was hired to do a gig for a wagon train coming from Miles City to Deadwood. The gig was yesterday evening. When I got there (about 100 miles from here) there was a guy playing guitar and singing and doing a whale of a job. I was a little early so stood around andContinue reading “Dang”

Overcast and cooler. Supposed to get up to 74 or so this afternoon. Nice day to ride. We got 60 hundreds of rain the other night and the lightning was popping and the thunder rolling. Sure was tickled to get the rain as we have lots of dried stuff to burn in this country. RainedContinue reading “Cooler”
