Got up over 100 today. Kelvin and I rode down south to the next door neighboring pasture and failed in our attempt to bring back a strayed heifer. Dumb little rip wouldn’t drive lead or drag worth a darn. Perhaps with the right application of some braided kangaroo hide tomorrow we will change her mindContinue reading “Hotter than Hades!”

Must be the rosin weed….
Or Curlycup Gumweed if you prefer. Nasty little weed that even the grasshoppers won’t eat. Not sure what it’s good for, but it must be what is causing my allergies to kick in. Up last night and the night before, itching and scratching. Took some anti itching pills and eventually went back to sleep forContinue reading “Must be the rosin weed….”
Me and the boys
Moved the squeeze chute back into the corral and then dug all the oily gravel out of the shed and replaced it with clean new gravel. There was extra left so we dumped it into the holes in the yard so now we can have new holes! Sure wish I could flatten them out better,Continue reading “Me and the boys”

It was tuff, but we pirates are a tough bunch…. argggggg… This afternoon, Delbert brought hisContinue reading “Me and Sam”
Saddle insert prototype
This is my second attempt at making an insert that fits into a regular sized saddle so that little kids can ride bigger horses or even a pony if they don’t have a little saddle to fit them. Actually, my third as I made on similar to this for my kids, many years ago… IContinue reading “Saddle insert prototype”
Another warm one…
Went out and decided to try and cut some more of the road ditch, as what the heck, it wouldn’t take much fuel and it would give me and the team some exercise. I decided I’d just cut a short distance where it was really green and a bit taller. Made one short round andContinue reading “Another warm one…”

We went out this afternoon and put the salt and zinc mixture for footrot out andContinue reading “12 hours later…..”
