[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 88110, member: 220"] Hey all, Sorry to cause any undue alarm about my absence from the boards. Been pretty busy with my new (to me) job in the oilpatch. Starting the day at three a.m. has made finding time to shoot the bull here a little tricky, but sure have been missing all the sharing of information and stories. Of course there's still chores to be done, calves to tag (and occasionally doctor) and a herd of children to gather and tend. Life's busy but grand! Will admit that I hate the whole "GURU" label nonsense. I'm not trying to be falsely modest, just blatantly honest when I say that I've got only a drop of knowledge in the big bucket of cattle know-how, and gallons of learning to acquire. Just wish Macon could axe the "G" word and let 'er lie. As to the cattle, reality has bitten me pretty darn hard where the sun don't shine. Honey and I are probably both going to have to completely disperse our herds this fall. Can't afford to feed them and pay loans on them and lose any more money. Might end up bankrupt at the end of the trail, but hey, there's alot worse things that can happen (family illness, death, etc) so basically have to go with the attitude that at least we did the best we could and realise that the cards were stacked against us in that particular endeavour. Sometimes life's just like that, and when you realise that you and your partner are so down and out with the blues that it's hurting your family life, you just have to swallow your pride, dust yourself off and take a long hard look at your options. Which we all have, it's just that sometimes we don't want to have to quit flogging the dead horse. Anyways, thanks for all the well wishing and nice comments. Good thing not to let 'em go to your head or you'd keep Resistol and Stetson hopping making you new hats everyday. Take care and God bless you all. Remember that sometimes when you get bucked off enough by a particular bronc, that it's better to just pay your entries for another go round and hope you draw a better horse. There's no cowboy that makes 8 in every go round he rides, and in the big ol' arena of life there's plenty of cayuses to mark out of the gate, so grin, nod your head and let 'er buck! ;-) [/QUOTE]
