Here's some odds and ends from the past week I though ya may like to see. If ya don't then keep it to yourself! :wink: A cute Little H in a handmade Easter dress from her Grandma!
A couple shots of the day job. We tore down an outdated transformer bank and replaced it with a new system. A before shot of the equipment getting set up while waiting on the utility to shut down the line.
Tearing down an "H" frame. (not named for yours truly)
After Demo work was wrapped up, we stood a new 45 foot pole. Then after installing guy wires and anchors to hold them, we swung up the new transformers. Brandon in the bucket and Clint on the pole. Clint is wearing hooks and a climbing belt.
Standing in a pair of hooks on a pole while working on high voltage is not a vocation for the faint of heart. :wink:
And yesterday we went to the ranch to look at the grass and check on stuff. A shot of the old original homestead cabin. She shows her age!
Then they moved into this cabin which is more than double the size. A rural mansion made by skilled hands.
It's trying to green up around here. The sun hanging around a while will help. Can't believe the cows go on the mountain in less then a month! Yipeeeeeeee!
We took ol' flat Stanley with us and he kept whining cause he wasnt in any pictures so we shot this one to hush him up! :roll:
He actually looks the happiest in this picture!
This is the bottom of Cottonwood canyon where we will finish the year on the allotment. The grass is coming.
After the big fire in 94 the granite ledges are still pretty bare. There used to be lots of cedars and mahogany trees up on the ledges.
Looking west toward the Charter Oak Pass. Named because old parts of an old charter oak wood stove scattered alond the trail heading to Pine canyon. Nobody knows for sure when the stove arrived there but Grandpa's best guess was a packstring accident while enroute to mining operations in Pine canyon. Funny how places get their name!
A picture of what's left of the moonlight stackyard. My Grandma and Mom built it one fall during a full moon week. Grandpa was sick and they were busy with all the chores during the day. So they used the moon's light to finish the small yard. They stacked it full of loose hay and fed the weaned calves out of it. Lots of history for just some old posts and wire!
And a last picture of my bunch by the old cattle truck. My son said its not a cattle truck, it's the "Hatari" truck! It does look like the truck from the John Wayne movie of the same title, cept for the rack!
