I have come to the realization that the daily goings-on at the Kelln Livestock Kompound are kind of a spectator sport. We tend to have audiences at all times. Rightfully so. Saturday afternoon, Duke and I decided to get the Iseki and rototiller out. Duke recieved a few “safety” lessons and then he started tillling ground. It was a beautiful day out, so I stood there in shorts, no shirt and watched. Then Brandon the Bruce showed up to help me watch. Then Barclay and Kaylee Holt. Duke did great until he realized that there was a crowd forming. Then, he tried to turn to tight in soft Earth, but the tractor wouldn’t turn as the tiller pushed him towards the fence. Then, he had part of the tiller gathering up fence. I can tell you that this tiller will roll up fence in a hurry. He got it shut down. Brandon the Bruce grabbed some pliers and cut wire, then we headed to the big barn to watch Brandon torch the fence off the tiller tines. Yep, I was a spectator. But the ground is now ready for taters. <\/p>\n
The Dragon Lady showed up after the fact. Found out what had happened and then chewed my donkey asking me if I yelled at Duke. “Nope.” I laughed at him and said, “Congratulations son. You won’t make that mistake again.” Then I showed him a 1\/8 mile of fence that I replaced back in ’86 for my Uncle Omer because I caught it with a disk and didn’t realize it for a bit. Guess what? That was the last time that I made that mistake. <\/p>\n
Saturday night, the Dragon Lady and I went to Tyke’s to eat really good corn and burnt ribs. Tyke is normally a chef on the Traeger. Well, on this night, not so good. But I was hungry so I ate several ribs. Tyke and I had several discussions worthy of spectators watching and listening. Lots of knowledge was dispensed. <\/p>\n
Sunday morning, I made a decision (probably a wrong decision) to stay home and spend time with fresh dirt, livestock, clean air and the good LORD. I just like being outside, by myself and feeling nature. That is my true religion. Alone with my thoughts, outside. Maybe it’s just me. <\/p>\n
Sunday afternoon brought howling winds and photo sessions for the April Fool’s Day online sale. I am way JACKED about these bucks, couple of does and some wethers. This lot 1 buck is a bonafide great one. COMPLETE. I stand corrected–completely good. Had way good helping spectating the photo shoots this afternoon. The wind did ruffle some doe hair. <\/p>\n
And for today’s random note, how about spectating the TV show TAXI. I watched this show with my dad back in the late 70s and early 80s. I still like watching it. What a cast–almost every character went on to big fame. My favorite character was Reverend Jim Ignatowski played by Christopher Lloyd. Of course, he went on to play Doc in the Back to the Future movies, but was great as the burnt up Reverend Jim. Judd Hirsch, Tony Danza, Marilu Henner, Rhea Perlman, Andy Kaufman and of course, the great Danny Devito. Heck that one dude (I don’t remember his name but I do remember him in some celebrity rehab show) even starred in GREASE. If you are too young to remember this tv show, google it, netflix or whatever. Watch it. It’s a good one. <\/p>\n
And to finish this night, the Dragon Lady cooked Filet Mignon, taters w\/ bacon, ranch beans and ears of corn. You couldn’t put a price tag on this meal. Killer good and I am sitting here with my waistband of my jeans at maximum capacity. <\/p>\n
