Thanks to Linda. I’d heard it on the radio then Linda sent it to me in an email. Makes you think. CASH FOR CLUNKER RESULTS: A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline. A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallonsContinue reading “Hmmmmmm”

Staying pretty warm the last couple days. I worked with some young horses in the late afternoon and sure got my exercise. We had the grandsons again so when I drove down south to tie off a windmill head yesterday morning while it was calm, Gramma and the boys went along. and the dogs. Man,Continue reading “Warm”

Loaded up three steers and one yearling colt and headed for town. Couldn’t find anything in Crackerjacks eye, so he just injured it somehow. Vet didn’t think it had happened over a couple days ago. I am supposed to put stuff in his eye at least four times a day and every two hours wouldContinue reading “Monday 9/14”

Got up and went to Mass this morning. Then when I got home I ran the horses in and saddled up Mijo. Chance came and saddled his horse and then the neighbors showed up and we gathered their yearlings. Sent a load and left the others in the corral until they came back for theContinue reading “9/13”

I am taking Pilgrim as he is ready for a biggerContinue reading “Off to work cattle”

Paid bills this morning. I don’t know why, but I hate it. Even tho’ I have the money to pay them, I just hate the fact of having to set down and write those checks out and watch the amount in my checking account dwindle! If I was rich in money (cuz I am richContinue reading “Uhhggg!”

We’ve been laboring! I went and worked on my spetic system this moring, ran the garbage out and when Hope and Chance and the boys came up, Chance and I worked on the roof, trying to seal off the leaks. Hopefully we have them. After dinner Cindy and Hope went and picked wild grapes andContinue reading “Labor Day”
