Wonder why the winter was colder in the middle of all this “Global Warming”?

Tired

Dug a post hole, tamped post and rehung a gate, then took down another gate, and put a new one in that spot to replace it. I had to do some welding on the gate. Then I cleaned some old hay and manure out of one of the corrals. Then saddled up Frankie and rode up and looked at the cows. Two new calves today. Doesn’t seem like a lot. I must have forgot something. Sure seems like I should habve done more. I am tired!

 

Found a new web comic. Kind of a conservative Doonsberry or however you spell it.

Gramma and I got a wild hair and drove down to Custer yesterday afternoon to see them grandkids we ain’t seen for awhile. Picked up Hope and the kids on the way. We all ate pizza and laughed. Good times, good times. 🙂

Windy

Started out pretty calm but blew harder all day. Chance and I got Chink loaded up and headed in to town to get his Coggin’s, brand inspection and health papers. We met up with the Iowiegien contingent at the vets and stood around and shot the bull and finally went to a cafe close by and ate some breakfast. Then we waited for our buddy from Montana. He and his new woman showed up and we switched horses around in everybodies trailers. The Iowigiens took off for home and us other 4 went back to the cafe so they could eat a bite. We said our goodbyes, went to a store and got enough rope to build 4 halters. Bought a tank full of diesel (ouch!) and headed home. Saddled up when we got home and rode up to look at cows. Built a couple halters, looked for a lost pup and now I am ready to hit the sack! Hope your days all went as well. I am going to miss that good looking colt, but I got more out in the pastures! And 4 more to be born this spring.

Busy

Trip went well other than there were dang few stops! Some people just don’t have to stop to pee as often as us old people evidently! Sure is some pretty country from about Broadus on west. Rained, snowed and sunshined on us off and on all day and into the night. Got home about 11 pm. I was stiff and tired.

 

 

 

 

Sunny the last couple days. Kids came out last night, for the weekend. Gus is just chattering away and going hells a poppin’! Sam is getting bigger. Tate and Kass had to help a friend move so we don’t get to see Gabe and Lige this weekend. Dammit!

 

 

We been getting a calf a day. Bulls must have been tired last summer. 🙂

 

Chance and I rode a couple of these young horses up west and north this afternoon.

 

 

 

Taking a 2 year old in to meet a guy from Iowa. Chink. He’s got a new home. I’d like to see him grow up, but I got lots of these horses. And I can sure always use the money.

Wet

Still windy also. We got another calf out there this morning. Heading out with a young neighbor who has to make a rush trip to Billings to get some horses. I’ll let you know how the trip went, unless it went badly!

Horse tooth doctor

Our guy who takes care of the horses teeth was at the neighbors today so I took Mijo and Dean up to him. He did quite a bit to both so it was a good thing I got them there. Cindy made me take her to the big city (population 20 or so) for dinner. Got up in the upper 70’s today and a lot of wind out of the south southwest. Still blowing tonight but it’s switched around out of the northwest. We got a couple calves in the last couple days. I rode Frankie up and checked just before dark tonight. He was real good so I must need to get my colt home from Eric to ride. He’s supposed to call me tonight. Maybe I can got get him tomorrow. Oh and I rode Beaver down and checked the tank fore the mares and young horses.

 

 

 

 

 

I got to work on the saddle a little today between all the rest.
