Thanks folks for the kind words,a man has just gotta be tough to weather these droughts,tell myself that regularly that dont make it much easier but it is reality.
Just seems like the weather patterns have changed to me ,could be decades if ever before we get average annual precip. here,who knows just might rain tonite,but the weather folks are sayin rain stays north of us again,going on 5 years.
These droughts have away of retiring ole men and waiting for youthful optimism to replace them.
Thanks everyone for the invites,maybe someday I'll get the travelin bug,buy me a nice 3 stall with living quaters and head north,that way I can keep the sleepin in the barn to a minimum
good luck
