I got up and got the prime rib going on the smoker and thought I'd send out a very Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I have so many things to be thankful for in my life. I'd like to state publicly that God is great. I've got a wonderful family that put up with me and try to disregard all my flaws and faults. I've got good horses to ride and some cattle take care of. I've got great neighbors and the opportunity to help them out from time to time. I've got fairly decent health. I've got the amazing opportunity to live in America. I've got a rich heritage and legacy left me by my ancestors. And I've got a bunch of great friends I've met on a shady part of the internet where even Canadians are welcome. Here's hoping you all have lots to be grateful for and you have a wonderful day.

I'm also sending out a heartfelt message to all of y'all that have lost loved ones this past year. We all send our love and hope that ya might smile today with happy memories of those wonderful folks. I sure miss Soap and Northern Rancher and a bunch of others I "met" here. See ya in few years on that higher pasture. Save me a good horse boys!
