Sounds like you gotta get out more. I google up that New Braunfels radio station now and then to catch Ray Wiley Hubbard's show. Might be a spot for that string band of yours to break out. Any sausage this year?

Hey, Hay Maker. Haven't heard a peep out of your two wingmen Elmo and Rooster lately. Are they doing a little down time for the county or just layin' low? How about another update.

He says he wrote it up at the cabin his uncle Lynn built for him on the Pembina. I guess he was getting a little bushed by then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nk8-MqnHlw

It's that strange critter that happens once in a while in Alberta when the money taken in in revenues (taxes, oil and gas royalties and well licenses, stumpage, etc.) equals the amount spent on roads, education, hospitals, health care, the bureaucracy, ag programs, the list is a long one. If we...

You might be waiting a day or two for the Dani Dollars to flow. But it's a nice thought. Went out and bought a reel for my 8-weight fly rod with my Ralph Bucks cheque, spare spool and a couple of lines. With enough left over for a few pops down at the local saloon. Same drill as the Alaska...

You folks south of the Medicine Line may not be aware of this, but there's another campaign in Ranch Country that's burning and turning right now. Anyone NOT voting Wildrose in the Alberta election? Just though I'd check.

The Alberta Beef Producers and Canadian Cattle Commission have a long and contorted record of speaking out of both sides of their mouth. On my side of the Medicine Line they conduct saturation advertising campaigns stressing "If it Ain't Alberta it Ain't Beef". Implying our foothills raised...

Randy, I don't want to pour cold well water on what sounds like a good idea and a positive initiative, but does this beef get marketed as "Canada Gold" stateside? If not then why bother. It's like Alberta Beef Producers spending millions of the cow tax money on the "If It Ain't Alberta It Ain't...

So Randy, is this finally an admission that the billion-buck-BSE-bailout - which saw the money gushering up to the feedlots and the packers instead of trickling down to the cow-calf guys - was a disaster for producers? Which has been my contention all along. Including the Tories' support of...

This is what my cheap Fish and Game silent auction thermometer was saying at 8 this morning. A tough day for all those real Albertastan ranchers who have to work in weather like this. Soft handed scribblers get to ride it out in their cubby holes in the basement of the Alberta legislature...

In southern Alberta we have a neat drill where Fish and Wildlife stockpiles road kill all winter. Then hauls it up to the high country just in time for the hungry grizzlies to come out of their dens. Instead of killing spring calves like they used to which created all kinds of mayhem they eat...

Looks like that old boy ate one too many Vettes. I suspect Hay Maker's Caddie is the Liberal eatin' variety.

I got a drill in my computer software called Microsoft Office Picture Manager where you can cheat your snaps back into shape even if you blow your exposure a little. I ran your hiefer through it and it came out not half bad. The buildings are still a little hot though. If you're runing Microsoft...

God bless the SM for giving the little kiltie the "eyes right."

Must have been a pretty heavy run on Chinette down at the store during that period. Can't wait to see the show. Sounds like CBC may have done something right for a change. Except for Coach's Corner, of course. Jordin played bantam in Spruce Grove as a 14 year old. Talk about a culture shock...

I heard Tootoo took her north last summer. Musta been quite a culture shock. Considering he likes to hang out in Nashville sushi joints 'cause it's the only place he can get a home cooked meal. Or rather "un-cooked" meal. Hey Pure Country, I see CBC has a show coming up about your neck of the...

Well, made 'er back from the slopes more or less in one piece. Stayed away from the bad boys and passed most of the afternoon on a sassy little pitch called Horseshoe. Never had any run ins with numbskull Calgarians. But a gang of Italians sure got my goat. How the heck did they get up there...

And a happy one to you, Hay Maker. I'm just putting a little wax on the planks then heading for the slopes. A ring of yer Texas kubasa sure would come in handy up there. I'll have to make do with a ring of Mundare. I'll be mixin' in with a bunch of Calgary numbskulls so it could get a little...

Everytime the Riders play at Commonwealth the place is a sea of green. Can't all be folks heading down the Yellowhead looking for tax-free bargoons at West Edmonton Mall. Where the heck did they all come from, Northern Rancher? But yer right, there's going to be a lot of heart ache for those...

Yup, got it back from the meat cutter before Christmas. Sittin' in the garage freezer right now until the tests get back from SRD. Sad to say but we got CWD drifting in from Saskatchewan. Started in a pet shoot there and just spread. Since we give some of our meat away Herself wanted me to send...
