Stopped in for a bit to do some laundry & shower. Hope everyone's playing nice. Good to meet @LocalGrowGuy , and I'm sure it's an experience he won't soon forget. I enjoy chatting with you guys. But, I'm tired of city life, and I'm headed back to camp.

I appreciate the kind, insightful and practical advice from all of you gentlemen. This will be a long battle, I'm sure. He tried to lie to the boss, and told him it was bad shrimp salad. The boss called him on it. He admitted his problem, but begged the boss to let him keep working. The kid says...

I told the boss where I stashed a jar, and to give it to him.

I hope he'll be okay, until tomorrow. If I can keep him away from that crowd, for a couple hours, he'll be sober for a few more days. He was promised a few hours with his daughter. His connection is in the next town over, 12 miles away. His car is broke down. So, I should be able to keep him in...

His girl says it's meth & heroin... Since he moved out, over a year ago. F#ck. He knows I'm trying to help him. Isolating him in camp really wasn't the plan. I was just trying to help him get some bills paid & diapers for the baby. The kid's had a rough life. His momma didn't want him. His dad...

I'm thinking pills. He's gonna have to go without the immodium, though. I can't get there today.

It couldn't have been him. He was with me during the time of the break ins. His friends wouldn't have the location of my camp. He didn't know where it was, until we got there. He has no phone, and there's no cellular service out there... Or water, or electricity. I left him a horse, a bedroll...

Wow. Missed the show here, I guess. Been out chasing cows, again. Hoppers ate my okra, peppers and most of my beets, while I was gone. But, that's the least of my worries, at this point. The camps down in the canyons are being burglarized during the day, while people are out working. Squatters...

Too much to do today. Headed back to the canyon tonight, with a fresh mount. Need to put shoes on her, haul hay and move mares into breeding pastures. The gardens need tending and such. Need to go pick up ten new hens, for the hopper babies. You guys give em hell. Keep em crying over spilt goat...

Thanks, for the concern, guys. Mainly posted for a laugh, at my expense. Keep in mind, I do this because I love it. There's no money in it. It's difficult. It's dangerous. It's lonely. But, it's too late to quit. Like you said, I'm already busted up. We all die of something. Diabetes...

Yeah, no. F#ck that. I'd rather they scoop me off the canyon floor with a stick & a spoon, than die of a heart attack, trying to catch a goat with my pants around my ankles. Besides, who would show these kids how to do it? That same youngster watched me get up, and get back on my horse. The...

I took a scary fall this time down in the canyon. In places the trails going into the canyon are very steep, steeper than normal stairs. Jagged rocks, cactus and gnarled cedars are there to slow your 500' descent. I had dismounted to get under low cedars, holding branches out of the way. I was...

I'm back to civilization, might as well join in. Puff puff pass.

Well, a bearing went out on my horse trailer. Got lucky though. We were only a mile from the house, and it locked up leaving a stop sign. So, at least I didn't ruin the tire. I knew it was going bad, and had already bought the bearing. But, I hadn't put it on. Since I couldn't go to the...

If I didn't have to be up in 4 hours, to play cowboys, and... well cows, I would tell you about when we're gonna play cowboys and neighbors... Wait, did I spell that right? All fun aside, campers on the lake called, to tell me that my horses were kicking it with them. Huge party going on...

Corn. Mmmm. I like it any way you want to make it. From sweet corn, to corn chowder, to corn syrup, to corn whiskey, to ground up and fed to the animals, to dried and put on a ship, I consume it, happily. I'll take ethanol, over Arab oil. In fact, quit exporting grain to these Islamic...

Well, I used the cuts I was gifted to help out a couple Vietnam vets. I was absolutely amazed, that I could put cuts in the fridge for a week, then root them. The guys were very grateful, as am I. I kept enough to do my garden, plus a few backup plants. The Kona Chem in the ground has had the...

I was changing the oil on the wife's van, and noticed quite a few things were bad or going bad. Walmart changed the oil once, when I was hurt. They cross threaded the plug, and it ran out of oil before I caught it. It really hasn't run right since then, and was burning oil. The tires were so...

Carp here are at the end of spawning. No bait required, just snag them.

Well, we were almost rained out, this morning. A steady drizzle had come up out of the canyon, a little before sunrise. Seven soaked & shivering horses turned their tails to the wind, and moved in close together. Seven cowboys, equally soaked, sat and joked about what the growly old foreman's...
