    Neat old video

    I'll bet the narrator was none other than Paul Harvey. Does anyone know for sure? Great old video!

    WORD OF CAUTION- concerning the use of generators

    Friends, I posted this under the thread that FH started about backup generators. I thought it important enough to re-post as a new topic: WORD OF CAUTION! Aside from all the good ideas here about backup generators, I want to offer an important personal experience of mine. A half dozen...

    Need advice on buying a generator

    WORD OF CAUTION! Aside from all the good ideas here about backup generators, I want to offer an important personal experience of mine. A half dozen years ago, I bought a gas powered generator, something like an 8000-9000 watt outfit, to run our house in a power failure. My brilliant idea...

    Wide Swathing

    I take the windrow shields off of my swather to make the widest swath possible, then rake two together before it's baled. In good haying weather, it will dry in one day, which to me, obviously produces better quality hay than if it needs to cure for two or three days. We cut only native...

    Speaking of spotlights

    I was needing new spotlights this year and picked up a couple made by PEAK- 1,000,000 candle power, cordless rechargeable spotlights, at our local True Value Store for about $20 each. These have plenty of reach and are not heavy. They have a comfortable pistol grip trigger switch. A regular...

    Auctioneering

    I was there too. We did not stay for the finals, as there were other activities in town we wanted to see. I thought the contest was very interesting and we enjoyed it very much. All of the contestants were excellent auctioneers. Each sold 6 drafts of cattle; two of weigh-up cows and four of...

    Technical Assistance Needed On Ranch Life

    I too, applaud you Tex. I was hoping someone from NE Texas could come to Joe's rescue. I would bet that a long conversation with you would be an eye-opener for him!

    Technical Assistance Needed On Ranch Life

    Joe may not be reading us here any longer, but the point he makes indicates that only a few scenes will show daily ranch life. I understand that to mean that his "teen triangle romance" will be the bulk of his story, with just enough "country" tossed in to make a ranch setting seem plausible...

    Technical Assistance Needed On Ranch Life

    Hey JoeNYC, What is your vision for this screenplay? Would it be for a movie, television or general theatrical use? (note that I don't understand your business well enough to know how to ask an intelligent question!) When finished with this effort, is there any chance of having you offer it...

    Technical Assistance Needed On Ranch Life

    Obviously, it appears you are bent on completing this project. My guess is, it will be feeble from our perspective. However, if this is important to you and you want to do it right, you "must go there" and experience it for yourself. There is very little any of us here could type for you...

    Technical Assistance Needed On Ranch Life

    JoeNYC, please just forget about this venture. I agree with Soapweed. Admittedly you know nothing about the subject you want to write about, so how can you be convincing without at least some practical knowledge of your subject? Oh, I suppose your reader will be just as uninformed as you...

    An observation I made today

    I took part in what Big Swede is talking about this winter. I sold my cull cows last fall but held 3 head of thin, more crippled type to put a little weight on. I sold them earlier this month before we started calving for just under $1000 per head and one of them was still pretty lame. They...

    What could have been a bizarre "near wreck"

    There have been some great stories told here. "Pigsanity" Now that is hilarious! That and Soapy's "bovinity" or whatever it was he came up with, have really gotten my belly fat jiggling.

    What could have been a bizarre "near wreck"

    I hope you didn't leave your drivers door open. They'd have bent it back the wrong way for sure! Cowboys tend to heal up. Wrecked pickup doors never do. Seriously though, I'm glad you came through the ordeal unhurt, Soap. This reminds me of a time when I was a kid in high school. I...

    First wreck of the season

    I had the exact same thing happen to me many, many years ago. It was a plastic tube and in the process of drenching a newborn, he chomped it with his rear molars. I stood there spellbound knowing that the end of the tube was still in his belly. That was so many years ago I'm unclear about...

    Just a little bragging!!

    North Ridge Ranching, That's got to be the cutest thing I've seen in awhile, and... I'm not talking about the tag either! You have a very rewarding life with that little daughter. Enjoy her at this wonderful age. It won't be long and she'll be "improving" herself with eye paint, etc. It has...
