    This is really bad

    I heard last night that they found the shooter based on his cell phone ping. He had exchanged gun fire with the cops earlier in the day. And he was dead when they found him. They won't say much more than that. They removed the body and what other evidence they could find but the fire was...

    Wire roller

    The guy building fence has one like that. He has it mounted on the front of a track driven skid steer. He says it will roll from both directions 4 strands at a time. The one thing which I was wondering about on the one I looked at was the twisty stays. Pulling on strand and a time and person...

    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...

    urban dwellers

    Just about 3 sides of my place is bordered by BLM. That is good and bad. But at least I don't have to worry about some urban dweller buying it. What ranch land around here sold to outsiders has been purchased for them to hunt on. It still gets leased to ranchers to graze on.

    urban dwellers

    As much as the urban dwelling people were scared of the idea that there might be a rattle snake in the yard I have to wonder. It has been nearly 7 years since I last killed one that was actually in the yard. But what would they think about a bear in the yard? Especially a sow with cubs. Like...

    First day of summer

    We didn't have a rattlesnake show up. Some of these town people are terrified at the idea that there are rattle snakes here.

    First day of summer

    We ended up with 15 people. Our garage is 2 car wide but a lot deeper. We planned from the start to pull the cars out and set up the food in there. Most of the people just lined up their chairs in there. It got up to 60 degrees that day. I saw some sweaters and vest etc but not everyone...

    First day of summer

    Typical eastern Oregon rain. Not enough to settle the dust. It wasn't Nicky who go the wind. It was Ned Jr in Colorado. I made the same mistake. Saw the big N and assumed it was Nicky. But I read it and wondered how Nicky got that much wind when it barely blew here. Went back and looked...

    First day of summer

    We invited a bunch of town people from church out to have a picnic in our back yard today. Figured to do it before it got too hot. Well, I got that part right. The high for today is forecast at 57. It is 57 right now it might hit 58. Been in the 80's for 2 weeks. I have 20 people coming out...

    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...

    2 acre fence project.

    I always said our fences were built by Noah when he got out of the arc. Never took pictures before the fire. This is about the only before and after pictures I have. A rock jack in the SE corner of the property. We haven't built any new fences yet but once we do I will have plenty of after...

    2 acre fence project.

    I haven't spent a lot of time In Republic/Ferry county but lots of time just to the east in the Kettle Falls area and to the west in Okanogan. Good country up there. Actually looked for a place up in that part of the world before we bought this place. Just never found anything which met our...

    Looking for ranch on the West Coast

    Oregon is considered by most to be the west coast. But I am not far from Idaho. I lived 40 miles from the ocean for a lot of years. But there is a huge difference between western and eastern Oregon and Washington. Big fires in eastern Oregon last year burned over a million acres.. There is...

    Looking for ranch on the West Coast

    Cattle Today. Another cattle discussion website. A young man from Indiana sent me a message on there looking to move this way to work. He sent me a resume. I share it with a couple guys. The one problem here locally is the general lack of available housing thus ranchers provide housing for...
