Someone else can take the torch.

He seems to very much enjoy getting away from that girl.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. ...

Well, I finally got my Station Wagon's motor to turn! It was stuck and yesterday I attached a socket and breaker-bar to the mainshaft's front and wiggled it till it finally moved. Been spraying WD40 in the cylinders and wiggling it for days. Now ...

Had a ride on Chica yesterday.
She doesn't like riding with geldings other than Tex.

I must have been riding tense because I am sore today.

All of my Tulips are frozen solid. I hope they'll recover, but have my doubts at this point. Switched out my Hyacinths last night and about an hour later found a Bumble Bee had hitched a ride with them. Evicted him/her immediately. I hope my tulips ...

Stude if it only was as easy as posting some.

Everyone have a great midweek.
 ...

Well, the clouds decided it was too much trouble to climb over Buckhorn and just laid down for a nap here in Lewiston and Fawn Lodge. It's that piercing kind of cold that sneaks through every opening and opportunity. Still better than what's in ...

might see 80* today and tomorrow.
If we had some moisture we could grow some nice grass.

Maybe a ride today.

I hope everyone has had a nice week so far. ...

Didn't worry at all about burning up firewood.
I burned up a bunch of old files as well.

Went down in twenty the past two nights.
But going to be eighty midweek.
Need to get a ride in.

Our barn stall lineup has pretty much always been boy-girl-boy..... Seemed to work. However, Spirit (girl) aggravates Apche (boy) big time. Discovered Saturday that he has kicked and split a board between their stalls. Fancy (girl) is on the other side ...

Ringtails not coons or civet.
Maybe they are a regional pest.
I thought they were cute when I first learned of them.
But they are destructive and leave huge piles of poo.

We have also heard the lion ...

Sixty degree temps for the coming week.

Everyone enjoy your weekend. ...

Thanks, about Raven.
I love having chickens. However up here we have to cover all six sides of the fly-space with wire and often wire under the coop as well. The Preds love stopping by for Kentucky Fried on a regular basis. Other than that they're ...

Our heifer calf came up limping.
Joint infraction is likely.
Had to make a run to Dr. K to pick up shots.
That was the easy part.

Cow and calf penned.
First shots yesterday could have gone better.
Not as easy as it sounds.
Today ...
