Here’s some pix.

Seems to like to do that a lot lately. Had some tornado’s in the area south and east of us the other night when we got all the rain. One up by Faith that made it on the Weather channel. Neighbor sat and watched one go about a half mile from him, down thru’ theContinue reading “And the wind blew…..”

I got the idea from this by seeing a picture of a couple older guys setting together at a branding and also from watching these seemingly old, fat men and horses doing more work than the younger set! With less fuss and muss! Old and fat? Pot bellied men on grass bellied horses rein chainsContinue reading “New poem”

I was out fixing on tanks, fixing fence, shutting gates and such and so forth. I seen this. Pronghorn, Antelope, Speed Goat, Goat or Antigoat, what ever you want to call them. Pretty and fast. these two will be able to run with Mom in just a few days. Their first instinct when I droveContinue reading “Look what I found”

I just walked in from up the creek, where I dropped the front of the tractor into a soft spot. Gonn’a have to let it set for a few days and see if I can get it out after it dries up a bit..

I interrupt my seasonal branding photo’s for this update. We got rain! And more rain! We had 2.5 a couple days ago. I dumped .80 out this morning and then we got 3.3 this afternoon!

Different families and groups sharing the work. We might have a different person or two one day, but many of the sameContinue reading “Another good branding!”

The one was called off yesterday and we are going to try them today. Me and a couple guys made a rush trip over to Sheridan and back. 4 hours and 15 minutes one way, if you set up and drive hard and don’t stop to dawdle. The car tires had some mud in themContinue reading “Branding again”

whether we are branding or not, but I mam betting we won’t. I just checked the rain gauge and it shows 2 1/2 inches! Cindy said the roads are fine and you can see where water ran down the edges, but it’s going to be pretty muddy on the dirt roads leading in to whereContinue reading “Haven’t heard”

And it was a good one. Got a good ride on Pilgrim. He has been getting nervous in the dragging pen. I worked with that and just drug a few. Got another one tomorrow. It is raining now and we are supposed to get rain all night. Over a half inch they are saying. IfContinue reading “Another one”
