Odds and ends

Hooked up the mower today and knocked down some weeds around the corrals and out in the hog pasture. Tried to cut some american licorice plants, but the ground was too uneven. Gonna have to rig a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the cutting bar I guess. Then I worked on some corrals andContinue reading “Odds and ends”

Oofda, I sveat

I saw on Facebook that last night was one of the “Summer Nights” events in Rapid City,m they have been doing on Thursday evenings. they block off a side street and bring in music and food and peopleContinue reading “Oofda, I sveat”

Gonna warm up a little

Supposed to get up in the 90’s today. Not much breeze today, but they are calling for the wind to blow tomorrow. Cindy and I drove down to a Memorial service for the father of a friend, in Wall last night. Cindy hadn’t been there in awhile so she got to see some of herContinue reading “Gonna warm up a little”

And damn fine ones at that, stopped in and spent yesterday. they are heading on this morning. So far on their trip, Darrel told me they had gone over 8,000 miles. We looked at a bunch of their pictures on the computer, which they had not gotten to see other than on the small screenContinue reading “Friends”

A fun read

if you are involved with mountain lions, elk hunting deer hunting, or running cattle on private or public land. I’d like your thoughts on this one Corky. 50’s!!! It gets better the further you go. Might want to just check out my comments to and from Jim, for a quicker read.

Then they had to split. I have been spending this morning trying to catch upContinue reading “Artist Ride”

Dirt work

Took the tractor and loader and went up and drug a washed out ol’ culvert up out of the creek and moved it to the plum crossing and put it there. Probably still wash out,m but it’s in pretty shallow and I made the crossing a lot better. For now! Then I ate an earlyContinue reading “Dirt work”

Last ride

For awhile anyway. Boys head home tomorrow so this evening we went out and they rode around and around in the corral. They swapped horses, Gabe rode Squirt and Lige rode Beaver. Both got along fine and Gabe even managed a sidepass, with a little help from Grampa. We took the tractor up north andContinue reading “Last ride”

Cowpokes

NOW know why they call them that! At least when Lige is riding Squirt cuz’ he’s always poking along! We went out and moved the pairs into another pasture and shut some gates. Pretty good cowpokes if you can get them to understand where you want to go!

Company

Delbert and Clint came over this morning and took all the teeth of the old Farmhand head for their sweep head. Me and the boys had an early lunch and nap and then we went and doctored a bad eyed heifer then moved some pairs and shut some gates. they are getting handier on thisContinue reading “Company”
