Family

All 3 sons and family were here yesterday. The boys and I shot trap and after I went thru’ my one box of shells, I switched over to my 22 pistol. Fr Tyler was a twerp and would shot my stationary targets with his shotgun! Oh, he let me have one shot, but then, BAM,Continue reading “Family”

Thanksgiving

I guess many people take this day to give thanks to God for all they have. I seem to do that almost everyday, so that’s not really my deal. Oh, I give thanks, but I do that pretty much everyday anyway. What I like about Thanksgiving is all my family coming home. My kids andContinue reading “Thanksgiving”

White stuff

Got about 4 to 5 inches of snow. But not much wind right here. Supposed to be warmer tomorrow and a lite breeze out of the south. Sounds like the roads were kind of fun, so glad we didn’t cause many people to be out on them. Cindy and I just stayed around here andContinue reading “White stuff”

Then we returned yesterday morning and sorted calves from cows and sorted off anything he wanted to keep and wean, loaded the calves and came home. Fr Tyler came out a little before noon and after lunchContinue reading “Fun”

Beautiful fall day, but they claim we got some rain and snow coming this afternoon/evening and the wind is supposed to be gusting to 44 mph by midnight, then slowly dying down until tomorrow evening. Cindy is staying in town tonight inContinue reading “Today’s doin’s!”

Branding the fall calves

Here’s some pictures. Lots of wind, but I sure seen worse days in November, so I ain’t gonna complain. But my elbow is sore from trying to swing a loop in the wind!

Town run

Cindy and I hauled a critter up to Newell to the butcher, for Chances crew, yesterday. We then headed to Sturgis, dropped the trailer off and did some odds and ends shopping. Cindy needed some work clothes and shoes and I needed to get my one hearing aid adjusted. We had to run back toContinue reading “Town run”
