Got the mower going and cut some weeds this morning. It wanted to plug and stop when I hit tuff Crested Wheatgrass or fine grass, so this afternoon I sharpened the sickle and the guards. I’ll try it again and see how it does and if it worked good enough mow the ditches and borrowContinue reading “Hot!”

Here’s some pictures of the outdoor cooking fire pit and grill. The grill can swing side to side or be moved up and down.

I went in to town yesterday and got some parts for my  mower and then swung up to Newell and got the dead cow I had ground in to hamburger, last week. Tate and Kass and boys came out yesterday evening to get some and we all went over to the dam and went fishingContinue reading “Mmmmmm….”

I took my chest waders with me and put them to good use, stacking rock around the culvert in the creek crossing that washed out and got it fixed this morning. Drug a fallen tree limb off a tree in the yard and then worked on an axle for the rake and one of myContinue reading “Another day….”

Putted around this morning. Ran all the horses in and rode down and looked at our cows. Then sorted off the team and drove down and put out some salt to the heifer bunch. The little filly went along and was trying to bite her mother, she was tied to, so I would lightly popContinue reading “July 22, 2010”

Went out fairly early this morning and went back thru my heifer bunch looking for one more bull. My yearling guy claims he’s got one more here than I can account for. Like a fool, I didn’t write the head count down when they came in so I thought we had them all and toContinue reading “Ridin’”

Haven’t posted too much lately as I haven’t been doing too much, seems like. Went up on Monday and helped a neighbor brand their late calves. Took a cow to town yesterday to get made into hamburger and then went to Rapid City and picked up a water bed. Used, but looks new. We gotContinue reading “Sorry…..”

I went to the Hills on Saturday to Hay Creek Camp, where they were holding their annual Cancer Benefit trail ride. I took Pilgrim and went along on the ride. It was good for him. Seen some pretty country and met some nice folks. Paul Larsen, Slim McNought and I entertained afterwords. I think theyContinue reading “Odds and ends”

My nephew Dustin came out last night and today we worked the three 2 year old fillies. Went real well. We took a break about 1:30 and ran up to Brad’s and Dustin helped Brad with a colt and Brad gave him a few pointers he was wondering about. I even got on Punkin’ forContinue reading “Fillies”
