    Sure quiet.

    Burnt and I had a visit last night on the phone. He commented how quiet it has gotten here and how many of the old stalworts rarely post anymore. Has another site like Facebook lured them away or have people grown too busy to visit? I know I'm guilty of being too lazy to fight the new...

Now we just have to track down a few others like that...

    Healing

    Debbie "let" me go out and brand the 40 youngest calves we had today. :D Was on my feet for 2 hours continuous by the time I got back to the house. Other than the right hand turns at the front of the table to implant the steers I had no problems. She and Robert had everything sorted before...

    This is not good

    Went for a fart buster on my bike today when it turned left voluntarily on the gravel road. Trying to stop a east bound cow that should have been west. Wasn't going more than 6-7 mph and laid the bike on it's side. Scattered me and other paraphanalia all over the place. Right hind leg is...
