Thanks for the kind words of sympathy. My dad was in such awful pain the last few weeks of his life, due to his bad hip and other ailments, that death was a blessing for him. His family had a couple of weeks to see him and talk with him before his passing which was another blessing for all of...

The flies have really come on strong the past few days. Our horses are just miserable trying to avoid the blasted things.

The SDSU presentation must not have been very interesting, Soapy. It looks like your friend is dozing.....

I like this category. Knowing that each animal represented was "special" in the eyes of it's owner, makes each photograph more meaningful.

Congratulations JDB! Only a true genius would have thought of this!!

That old glove was my mother's when she was a child. It would date back to the early 1930's. My sisters & I played with it when we were little, but none of us raised ball players so it has not been used since then. It is really quite small, with the palm measuring only about 5 inches across...

Thanks Per. It's not a coincidence that Sparky's shop and my office look a lot alike, as we are most definitely related! We seem to share an interest in old "cool" stuff and like to hang it all around ourselves. I could show you a lot of things, but it may not be all that interesting, unless...

Per, I'm assuming you are referring to the plaque next to the light switch. It was given to us in 1997 for our local Town & Country Day. We were selected for the Outstanding Rancher Award. They also give an award to the Outstanding Farmer and Businessman each year. On the other hand, if...

You didn't notice the desk top? No wait, I didn't show my desk top. If I would have, you'd realize that I fit that classification perfectly.

What's dusting?

I've been so preoccupied with other things lately, I missed the desk contest. However, you asked for it, now you're goin' to get it! Actually, I once thought about starting a thread where we all could post photos of our "sentimental treasures". This idea never quite got off the ground. I did...

'Sorry, but I've been gone for a few days and just got back home to my computer this evening. This photo is of an old item in my collection of 'personal treasures'. My office is full of them. Perhaps insignificant stuff to most folks but sentimental to me. It is an old mechanical, cast iron...

I'm guessing it is Gordon Lightfoot. How close am I?

VB RANCH, Did you tie the fiador rig? An old cowboy showed me how to do those knots when I was a kid in the 1960's. It's been a handy thing to know ever since. I need to tie them several times a year though to keep from forgetting how. I've run into many fellers who claim they can tie...

My fencing pliers pouch might set a little bit high, but I like it there because it doesn't interfere with my back billet. However, I learned the hard way many years ago, that if the pliers have a sharp point on the back of the head, they need to be put in with the point to the front...

PS: I'd sure like to find a home for this nice bay mare. She's a five year old double bred Frosty Feature out of a full sister to my World Show mare. She is as sensitive and responsive as I've raised. Not for an inexperienced rider, she's a little cinchy and grabs her butt a lot. However, I...

Yep, it's a Shimon. Soapy loaned me his, some thirty years ago and I liked it enough to order my first one. Since then, I've picked up another four or five of them so I can have several horses saddled at the same time and with different trees to fit various horses. I think the medallion on...

I won't try to speak for Soapweed but since the Black Lab is my dog, I'll pipe up. This dog is just two & a half and has become my best pal. After nearly getting rid of him last fall for being a pure nuisance, he started going with me everywhere and now he's always by my side. I'm starting to...

Thanks FH. No coon tail, but Sarge is as nice a ranch horse as I've ever had. He's level headed and the same every day. I made the mistake of putting Soapy on him last summer. He's been trying to deal me out of him ever since!

I was thinking the same thing about Peach! How can she vaccinate and pour at the same time? She is pretty amazing. As far as the temperament of Soapy's second batch of heifers unloaded in the pasture, they strolled off the trucks very easily. Many of them looked back at us as they stepped on...
