Been working on a saddle today. I now have two fresh bandages, covering two fresh cuts on my finger, from being too stupid or lazy, or whatever else you want to call it, to stop and take the time to sharpen my knives and leather working tools.

Another beautiful fall day. Cindy and I went out this morning and opened gates, down south. We had a neighbor who needed a few weeks of grass and we have a little left over.

Well, I survived another gathering at Hot springs! Hard to believe this was the ninth one. Man, I am getting old! On Sunday I went to New Underwood and met Chance and Hope and we went to Curtis Coomes’ ranch and looked at horses. He lives south of Scenic and isn’t too far from pineContinue reading “Oct 2, 06”

Well, I ordered some more leather for saddles today and talked to my saddle tree man about a tree he is copying for me for a new saddle for an old customer. Well, he really ain’t that old, but he has had me work on a couple others for him. I caught a ride toContinue reading “another day on the ranch”
