    Sunrise I needed

    Yesterday in church the pastor announced that a lady had passed away this week. I heard the wife gasp and felt her flinch. This was the couple we first sat next to when we started attending this church. The wife got to be friends with this lady. We lost track of them when the pandemic hit...

    No rain all summer and now this:

    Cliff's just sells Honda bikes, quads, and SxS. I don't think they do much service work on them. Rob Cripe has a shop at his house. He does much better work for less money. His shop is always full and 30 or so quads outside waiting in line. One of the real nice things is if you own a ranch...

    The chickens are eating good

    The wife has been cleaning up the garden to put it asleep for the winter. The corn stalks went to cows on Tuesday. The green beans on Wednesday. Today was the vine plants, cucumbers, cantaloupe, and water melon. The chickens love over ripe water melon. She says there is 21 old water...

    I had Cliffs repair a saw twice before. That was enough for me. Ace does but they don't repair them in Baker they send them over to La Grande. I tried to find out who and where in La Grande with no luck. I took it to the saw shop in Ontario this morning. It is a clutch issue. Something...

    Twenty years of falling timber, I have Stihl saws. Actually the one that broke down is the one I had in my hands when I broke my back nearly 30 years ago. It is an 066 which is a big saw but I don't have to wait for it to cut through something. I am cutting Junipers that some previous owner...

    No rain all summer and now this:

    Nothing too serious here but I sure been running some serious bad luck the last couple days. Tuesday evening I was taking a bale out to the calves. Some how I rolled a front tire off the rim. Didn't hear or feel anything. Ruined the tube, tire, and rim. Too late to call the tire store so it...

    No rain all summer and now this:

    Hey you live in Wyoming. It could snow at any time. Well maybe not on the 4th of July. Back in July 04 I was doing a solo road trip. I stopped up on top of Bighorn Pass. There was several camp trailers with Florida plates. It looked like grand parents, 2 of their kids with their families...

    Anything good happen?

    The son and his family hunting here this week. His partner and family are here too. Partner's wife shot a pretty nice 3 point on Tuesday. Not a bad deer for her first one. Today I stepped out of the way for his partner. I said if you want him step up here and shoot him. A younger 4 point...

    Spring development

    This spring doesn't flow over ground to the river so as far as I know we didn't have to file anything. The conservation district who is paying for part of the project never said anything about filing. Where it is located the only one who will ever see it is me, the neighbor who is helping, and...

    Anything good happen?

    This is what it looks like where i was hunting today. I think I may be getting to be too old or fat to be hunting this kind of country. I am starting to understand why you see so many old guys fishing. Stilling in a boat wouldn't be nearly as hard as hiking these hills.

    Anything good happen?

    Deer season opened here on Saturday. The oldest boy is here with his family. It has been nice to get some grandparent time. They live 8 hours away so we don't get a lot of time with them. Time here is good for them and us.

    Denim and Western Decline

    You might have noticed that everything is made in China these days not just Wranglers. At least two trains a day go by here with double stacked containers. Headed east from the ports loaded with things made in China. Trains are 2 miles long. There are still a lot of home town rodeos. It is...

    Spring development

    Classic dessert spring. A hundred yards up and there isn't a sign of water. Down stream and there is signs of water running in the spring for about 200 yards. After that dry as a bone. Where Levi was in the mud with the cat there is a solid rock bottom. The water must be coming this way...

    Spring development

    Fall is spring development time. 1. The tire trough in the approximate location it will be set. Along with a few plumbing parts stacked on it for the time being. 2. The trail down which the pile line will be dug. You can see that blue dam that is by the trough in the top center. 3. The machine...

    Prayers for Soapweed

    Love doesn't die, People do. So, when all that is left of me is love. Give me away Steve showed us, left us, a lot of love. Take that lesson and that love which Steve left us and give it to others as he gave it to us.

    Bull rider killed in auto accident

    I went through there today. I was looking for but didn't see any skid marks or paint that the state police put down at accident scenes. When you top the rise it is a mile and a half that you can see very well. The Echo exit/on ramp is at the bottom of the dip. Maybe the potato truck was...

    5th Cutting Alfalfa 09/22/2021

    Bert cut some of his third yesterday. He quit early because the swather wasn't running right. Shortly after that a little thunder storm rolled through. I thanked him for cutting it because we sure do need the rain. He had his second all raked and a bigger thunder storm rolled through that...

    Winter peas

    I have seen them make an amazing crop. But that was over on the coast. The climate is milder so I don't know how they will do here.
