Well Cody, you missed my point that life running a cattle ranch for beef production, rather than rodeo stock is totally opposite in how you work cattle. An example would be the PRCA Hall of Fame team roper, Mike Beers. He lived not far from me at one time and his dad had a cattle ranch and he...

It is very sad when names are added to this thread. Marie will be missed. I hope in time that @Jake Smith will post her original SOC profile photo, the one in shorts on the beach. I like that photo and it was always how I see her.

Thanks for post and beautiful photo @Jake Smith. I read it earlier, but had to get tears cleared to type. Please take care of yourself and in time let us know how you are doing. My best to you and your family.

One sale of large trees I bought, I used a metal detector, ran it over the logs before milling, and did find a few small spikes. I hit one once and it destroyed my chain, bar, and sprocket, before breaking the chain. I wore chaps and never regretted it.

I have but not for sport. It was done to hold an animal for treatment. Usually on leased range far away from any corrals. Pasture roping is done by some cowboy churches, to play cowboy, but no rancher would use stock raised for beef for roping. Being a ranch cowboy is a totally different state...

That is a beautiful Pinto! Judging by her ears and general appearance, she would have made a great cow horse. One of my great aunts had a Pinto that was the best cow horse ever for roundup and sorting. I would ride her with loose reins that really worried some folks until they saw her do her...

Before the last two post get reported and the posters get their hands slapped, I am reminding myself this thread is about flooding, so I will zip any more comments about rodeo.

Well, if you are trying to entice Cody to move to the Rio Grande Valley, with 2 PRCA rodeos, you must have missed his old post about a big no to Texas. I think there is entirely way to much real cowboy stuff happening down there, same as here and real life ranching and bunk house living isn't...

Well, not much of interest to post, so this rambling journal of dribble, may be on its last leg. I have never been a procrastinator, but lately procrastination seems to be my specialty. I decided to post here and put off my grocery shopping for another few minutes. That will teach it to try...

The idea of cherry tomatoes grown in aerogardens is becoming more appealing with the price of organic cherry tomatoes at the store. Now with dentures that work, cherry tomatoes with red cabbage, spinach, leaf lettuce, cheddar cheese, and crotons, all doused in 1000 Islands or Jalapeno Ranch, is...

I have an electric fireplace, an old one with the rotating foil to make the flames, that reflect off its back mirror. More authentic looking with the glowing ambers than the new digital ones. I have it on 24/7 year around. @Cody Fousnough Too bad you can't find a bungalow apt in Colorado. We...

I don't like the blah of non dairy creamer, so I use rich hot chocolate mix and make what I call my poor girls mocha. :sneaky:

Ebenezer and the 49 Ford 1966 by Faye Unbeknownst to me, my grandpa's old mule, Eb was spending a few days at our ranch. Eb wasn't a real donkey mule, he was a hinny since his pappy was a horse. He wasn't kept in the corral since his resume included wood sculpturing with a specialty in split...

Expert Witness 1977 by Faye Back in the 1970s, while waiting for a range fence job to be approved up the mountain from my place, I took a job painting a house for an old couple in town. Anyway, as I am painting away, happy as can be, I see a car pull up. A very short guy (about the size of...

This is the thread I will use for them. One coming up in a few minutes. Many thanks for caring, most don't.

Crazy Nurse Belle 1978 by Faye Fox Old rancher Bill didn't care for his eyes after cataract surgery. They became infected, which required hospitalization, since his wife had died and he had no one to care for and/or nag him. After a day in the hospital and driving all the nurses crazy with his...

Bill was a wonderful guy. He was from Wichita Falls, Texas and although an old time Texas Democrat, he was very nice to me and liked my stories and poetry. He was a cowboy in a stereotypical way rather than someone that was a rancher. I could identify with him, from visiting an old aunt that...

Hey @Cody Fousnough Here is one of my cowboy poems, I wrote for the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) rodeo, the Pendleton Roundup with their moto, "Let er Buck." Let Er Buck by Faye Old cowboys never die, they just run out of luck So enjoy the ride and Let Er Buck Come on over...

And then there are the songs we heard the lyrics right and wish we hadn't. :ROFLMAO:
