Anotherbunchofbullsonthemove.jpg

Another bunch of bulls on the move. During the morning, we rode nearly twenty miles and pulled 19 bulls from three bunches of cattle.
Dinner and cold iced-tea looked pretty good to us when we got back.

It sure is easier to go with you as you gather bulls than it is for me to gather mine. Must be your fine crew, although there was nothing wrong with my crew. Must be the fact I sat in under air conditioning while you got yours, and was out in the hot sun to get mine. Enjoyed the trip at any rate! I'll bet that water from the sweatty hat was almost as good as my iced tea!

Not that one of ya'll should take up smokin' but......... I'll always remember my Uncle Bernell dumping out his Prince Albert so we could use the can to drink H2O. Then he'd dry it out with his shirt tail and pour the tobacco back in. :D I keep a tin cup in my saddle bags for enjoying a drink of water. Thanks for the ride. Glad I didnt have to drink out'a Kosmo's hat though! :wink: :D

Me, too. I chose not to get thirsty until we got back home. :)


The Prince Albert can is a good idea. When Dad was a kid, it was fashionable to call a grocery store to ask, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" They would answer, "Yes," and then the caller would say, "Well for heck's sake, let him out."

Kids will be kids, any time and any place. :wink:

After running over my hat last fall with a combine, or maybe the fall before, decided it was time for a new hat, mainly 'cause it smelled like a dirty sock, smothered in rotten cheese throwed on top of a gut wagon. Was tickled to death to finally get a new stench free hat this summer.....that lasted a whoppin' three days before it was about as bad smellin' as the old one, folks tell me I look a little more respectable in the new one, I thought the old one had character.

This is what happens to us afflicted with ADD or some such disorder..... I'm sure I got some undiagnosed affliction......Anyhow seeing them drinkin' out of that hat reminded me of my new hat and why I hope I don't ever have to drink out of it.....Ya'll have a blessed life
