    A Charlie Russell Christmas Poem for My Ranchers Friends

    Best wishes for your Christmas is all you'll get from me. Cause I ain't no Santy Claus: don't own no Christmas tree. But if wishes were health and money, I'd fill your buckskin poke. You never would go hungry and your doctor would go broke. Merry Christmas to you good people! I sure enjoy...

    Sharpening Stone; Wet or Dry?

    I have a sharpening stone that was given to me by my mother-in-law two ago for Christmas. I used it a few times when I first got it, but haven't had occassion to since. I got it out today to sharpen a wood chisel (don't know if that's advisable or not) and wondered to myself if the stone was...

    Road Trip to S.Central Colorado

    Thought I might take you along on the photo journey. Here goes... Maybe the best pic first. This sign must have been eight feet tall out there in the pasture. It welcomed all drivers on I-76 entering Colorado. Just about brought a tear to my eye!! If this is the vacation spot, then most...

    Pulling Back Horse

    Here's one for all of you clever horsemen: A friend of mine has a mare that is sure nice to ride and be around in most every way. Very gentle and calm natured. Useful in all areas of the ranch. All except one glaring problem. When she's tied up she will pull back with the force of a freight...

    Saw Jinglebob's Country Today...

    I went to Hoff's bull sale today and drove many miles to do so. Looking at the map, one can discern that northwestern SD has few folks in attendance at the polls on voting day, but I was impressed with the wide open country. Talk about grass and hills, nothing much besides that. Driving north...
