    My ditch bridge

    I don't know how many posts are in the large bundle. So my answer is a guess. I would say 100 post but there might be more.

    My ditch bridge

    I gave Jelloshotz this guys phone number. If he had gone to work for him it would have been an interesting day for him yesterday. Two of his hired guys were stripped down to their BVD's in the ditch fishing out T posts. Turned out there was 3 bundles. The first bundle had broken so they were...

    My ditch bridge

    I believe he simply followed my tracks leading to and off the bridge. Of course I just drive the quad across it. It is not a straight shot on either side so he was too far to the right and the trailer wasn't following right in his tracks. I am not sure if the trailer actually missed the...

    My ditch bridge

    The fence builder started building fence on the neighbors and then mine. We talked to him last night. Said it would be quicker and easier to come in through my place. He asked if he could pull a goose neck trailer with a load of fence supplies in that way. The neighbor and I both said the...

    Roadside vegetation management team

    This is some of the road side vegetation management team. Like anyone working on county road project it is getting hot out so they are going looking for shade. If they had shovels I am sure they would lean on them. That is the county road to the left of the picture and the closest neighbor's...

    Branding day

    Serving pork at a branding would be one way to insure that people don't come back next year.

    sailing the sagebrush sea

    Just across the street from old cafe/tavern is the post office. In old Skinner Kirby's book he says that him and his bride lived in the house which is now the post office. That would have been in the late 1920's. This sign is in front of the old school which is now the community building.

    sailing the sagebrush sea

    The cafe building is still there. A bunch of squatters in camp trailer living behind it now. They tore down the old gas station next to the cafe and are in the process of building a new one. Rumor is that it is the same people who built the new big truck stop at Farewell Bend. The old cafe...

    Shirttail comes down at the cement plant. I don't like driving that road stone cold sober and wide awake.

    sailing the sagebrush sea

    I haven't stuck a shovel in the dirt. Right at the base of most of the burned up sage it is black and nothing growing I think that is because the sage burned so hot. But just out a foot or so there is lots of grass which is going to seed. No fences so no cows. Hopefully that grass reseeds...

    Neighbor's Galloways

    True enough. But most of us wouldn't be in business long with less than 50% calf crop from a breed whose calves sell a good 50 cents back. However this guy has a concrete finishing company over in Boise that appears to be very profitable. A fence builder who has done a bunch of work for him...

    sailing the sagebrush sea

    Having driven across Wyo a time or three including the area where you formerly lived and where you live now I realized where and how far you would have to drive. I do like sage brush country. I also like how much more grass I have now that the sage brush is all gone.

    Neighbor's Galloways

    My neighbor has straight black Galloways. Nothing as colorful as the Oreos.

    sailing the sagebrush sea

    All of my sage brush left last July in a cloud of smoke. I have to take a drive now to see sage brush. That doesn't bother me.

    Neighbor's Galloways

    There is a neighbor place purchased by a man who lives the other side of Boise. He bought and shipped in 24 Galloway bred heifers in January 2024. He told me that they would be in high demand here. Hmmmmm not my monkey, not my circus. He comes over and checks on them once or twice a week...

    Branding day

    A lot of the women here are in the pen roping. One branding I went to this year he pulled a gas grill out of his pickup and went to cooking burgers. Several boxes of those personal size bags of assorted chip. That was the meal. A cooler with an assortment of soda, beer, and water to wash...

    Branding day

    I have met some of the Stotter family. They are down in the Jordan Valley country. Big big open country. Some of the youngsters I have met from down there may be a touch wild west if you know what I mean. I have been to a couple Rodear brandings I really liked them. It is a different pace.

    Branding day

    Even at the bigger brandings here we don't get that many people or feed that well. A big pot of homemade chili or beef stew along with corn bread. Some cake and cookies for dessert. I don't drink but I notice the amount of beer is limited too. It is pretty much just the neighbors who come...

    Branding day

    Nope, it was for a friend. Her two little boys were at our branding keeping my wife busy. She was setting up the meal in the garage. Along the sidewalk between the house and the garage there is a sidewalk with lots of Tulips blooming. There was a trail of tulip blossom from the middle of the...

    Branding day

    Last year there was 20 and we ate in the house (I don't know where the wife found that many chairs). This year she set in up in the garage and there was only 6 including her. One guy had to leave early and a young lady who roped had a baby shower to go to. Roping calves at a branding in the...
