Awesome pictures. Thanks again for the tour! I didn't know you had a mule. I know they are great for mountains, but how are they with the cattle?

He is gaining in the cow sense department, and is maneuverable enough that we can get the job done after a fashion. :wink:

Hooray! The fabulous forelock is back :D . I don't know why it cracks me up so much, but it does.

It's a fashion, and like I said, "we can get the job done after a fashion." :wink:

An old friend who has long since passed on told me there was nothing better to ride than a good mule.......and nothing worse than a bad one.


By your pictures Soap, I believe your calves are twenty pounds over last years average.

Maybe just a different camera but they do look heavier.

Guess I don't know what a picture card is. My dear wife tries to download the photos from Kodak Easy Share once in while for me because I've never figured out how to do it. I save all the pictures until the computer crashes, and then the unsaved ones vanish into thin air. This has happened three times in recent years. Most of the pictures that I post are in Photobuckets, though early on 500 were lost because I messed things up.

It's always fun to look at everyone's photos. Anxious to see yours when you get them posted.

Picture card.....I'm sure is the Memory card in your camera that oldblood is referrin to.

I take my card out of the camera....and have a slot in the computer and I download them from the card directly on my computer.

I've got a cord that plugs into the camera so the photos can be downloaded into the computer. After this has been accomplished each night, the memory card is erased so there is a "clean slate" for the next day.

I'll try to take a better picture of the brand tomorrow and then we can hash out what it might be. Part of it almost looks like a hashknife. :wink:
