It is in the low 20's and pretty frosty this morning. The tulips in the flower bed don't think much of this weather.

"Too close for comfort". You want to work cows and be comfortable at the same time? How does that ever happen?

Several years back I escaped to take a vacation/road trip. Somewhere east of Hoback Junction there was a leggy, brownish Limo cross looking cow standing along the road. Some tourist with east coast plates parked there taking her picture.

My neighborhood has stayed the same for well over 100 years. About 5 miles away in "town" there are some 100 year old places that haven't been occupied in 50 + years. Just little old board houses that look the part. People driving by on the freeway look at that and keep driving which is fine...

The last time I clean shaven was in Sept of 1978. I am certain there are a lot of people who haven't seen me without a bread. Including my kids and my wife.

I stopped at the truck stop at Farewell Bend this morning to use the rest room. Diesel was $0.90 more than what I paid yesterday in Fruitland which is less than 30 miles away. Farewell Bend is where the Oregon Trail left the Snake river. Just look across the river and you are looking at...

I looked that up a while back. Idaho has a lower fuel tax but it is just a few cents. In fact if you entirely eliminated Oregon's fuel tax Idaho would still be cheaper.

I had to go to New Plymouth Idaho this morning for some grass seed. I also had some things which I normally get at D&B Supply in Baker which is the opposite direction. But there is a D&B in Ontario. Ontario sits on the the state line. The Snake River is the border. Ontario, Oregon is on the...

I never name bulls or cows for that matter. I thought about rodeo bulls. I saw one named Ballistic Diarrhea.

I have ate several hundred pounds of canned salmon. But it was all home canned. And none of it from Pinks (Humpies) which is the species that provides the vast majority of the fish to the canning industry.

I can get those kind of pictures almost every day. Regular enough I don't even take their picture any more. If I were to look I have ones of them standing in my driveway.

Here is a couple of pictures of what I should have looked at before buying here...... actually I am mighty happy to be here. But I do own some useless land. The sheep sign and hill above it. Some more of that hill. And last is taken of the hill on the other side of the river. The one nice...

Every time I get on some of the ground that is too steep to walk on. Or the rocky hill sides with vertical cliffs. Just around the corner there is a sign warning of Big Horn Sheep on the road (the sign is actually on my property along side the road). Big Horn Sheep should have been a hint...

I am keeping you and your husband in my prayers.

You trolled a ways to get from your area to Gig Harbor. Growing up I fished a lot with my Grandpa on the other side of the bay at Point Defiance.

The first day of daylight savings. It is a few minutes after 7:00 Pacific daylight time. Still dark out. I am sitting here waiting for daylight so I can go out to feed. Yesterday I was done feeding by 7:15. I don't mind daylight savings at all but the transition always screws me up for a...

Glad to see you back. People disappear from here and it leaves me wondering what happened. Sorry about your losses. As you know I also worked for a Conservation District. I retired in 2017. Moved 400 miles away. And now I am on the board of directors for the local conservation district.

There was always fights, brawls, to down right riots at the rodeo dance. The two biggest causes were someones girlfriend want to chase a cowboy or some out to show their girlfriend how tough they were by trying to whip a cowboy. In most cases the local found out how tough rodeo cowboys can be...

I remember when my mother told me that the man who played Superman committed suicide.. I asked how he did it. She told me that he shot himself. I asked how that would work? I had seen bullets bounce off him. An explanation by Mom about Hollywood vs reality followed. Fast forward a number...

The west was a lot wilder than a lot of people realize. Still is in some ways. One of my neighbor's family got their ranch because the man who sold it was held down by another neighbor with a gun stuffed into his mouth. That was an argument over irrigation water in the late 1950's.
