Well dang! Why didn;t you pick me up on the way by Tap? I would have loved to have met Cal, tho' he must have been in my neck of the woods at some time if he's got the kids from Dream Works working on his cabinets for his new house.

And I can see by your pictures why he needs a new one. His old one is almost in as bad a shape as mine.

Guess I better sell my horses and get a 4 wheeler so I can make enough to build a nice house like Cal is getting. Smile

Your country looks good Soapweed. Glad you are having fun while getting things done. I bet Cal doesn't have as much fun as you seem to while working. Laughing Sorry Cal, couldn't resist. lol

I like your pasture picture the best. A lot of us would have rode right by and not found the beautiful picture you captured there.
Tap, I think you have so much fun because you get to dress like a television star; http://www.kellie.de/fm/steve3.jpg

Very Happy Wink


I just got back from visiting down at Cal's today, and I gotta tell you he is a great host! I went down there to straighten him out a bit and by the time I left for home I came back with a whole different perspective.

First, the directions he gave me made me wonder a bit if he really wanted me to find him, but he said to go right over the rocky knob, between two hills, so off I went. Thankfully I had my horse in the trailer, because I really don't know how he gets in and out of there with his 4 wheeler. I had no problem at all.



After we visited a bit, he told me that his wife had delegated him to some new living arrangements, so we went in and he made me a real nice lunch. Heck, there was even a place to tie my horse right there next to the table. That Cal is always thinking.



Then after a sandwich and some of what he calls his "non-cowboy coffee" (It kinda tasted like Tang though), he took me out to show me the new breed of cow he is developing.




I sure did enjoy the tour Cal. But for the rest of you that might be wondering what Cal looks like, I gotta say Cal is looking pretty good for the shape he's in.



Thanks again Cal. Come visit me sometime.

Say what? Uhhhh, yeah, Tap old buddy, nice to see you. But before you venture out again you ought to try to equalize your suspenders a little....it wasn't pretty.....and could you check your pockets for silverware? Never mind...keep it. Twisted Evil Wink Very Happy

If you cut down a fence in Texas to let your stock through, it would be strongly advised to look all over hell and back for the landowner first. If a fella cuts my fence without my knowledge and I catch him on my land, of course I will ask him what in the hell he thinks he's doing and probably end up helping him when I get it figured out.


I don't "cut" a fence to let cattle through. It is easy to find a gentle hilltop, then pull the staples on two or three posts, and let the fence down to the ground. After the cattle and your horses go across, it is a simple matter to pick up the wires and once again staple them to the posts. I'd like to have a dollar for every time I've done this simple procedure during the course of my life. It would add up, that is for sure. Wink

i do the same thing soapweed
here in this country when folks don't get along there are not any gates in the fences
so you can drive 1 or 2 head for a mole or 2 around or let the fence down and send a dog to bring the cattle across the fence and then put it back up
thats what i do
saves me alot of time
and i don't think the'll trow my dog in jail for trespassing
atleast i hope not
until later

I am glad to live in an area where ranchers feel very strongly about their property rights, yet I would WANT any neighbor of ours to help themselves to let the fence down and retrieve their cattle from our pasture. Or let it down to go across us. And they would all expect us to do the same. I would not care for them to cut it, unless they immediately fixed it. No harm done.

The point is that you can respect someones property rights, and still trust your neighbors.

Next time I go down and straighten Cal out, I will be sure and stop by. Wink I bet he could get one of those houses the government is giving away to his neighbors, if his Mrs. doesn't let him back in the house.

I better call a truce with Cal before this gets out of hand. lol.

Where a four-wheeler really shines is using it to get in the horses. Wink
