I hadn’t hit this keyboard in almost two weeks till yesterday morning. \u00a0Then, I just had to mention that it wasn’t windy. \u00a0Dang! \u00a0I jinxed it as the wind came howling down the plains. \u00a0Brandon THE Bruce was the first to call me on this. \u00a0I am sorry.<\/p>\n
I have seen Jerry Jeff Walker play live. \u00a0It was a decade or two and a half ago in Lubbock, TX. \u00a0I have always liked his song “Pissing in the Wind.” \u00a0Well, today, I thought about that song several times as I was reminded that there is an art to pissing in the wind. \u00a0 You don’t want to aim into the wind. \u00a0You also don’t want to aim in the direct opposite direction as a bit of a swirling action happens and it ain’t good. \u00a0You kind of want to do a 105 degree angle kind of thing. \u00a0I apologize but you dudes know what I mean.<\/p>\n
I had a list of stuff that HAD to be done this weekend. \u00a0First, electric fence had to be run on some wheat for Duke’s cows. \u00a0I didn’t mean for my dad to do this, but it was evident that this was a PaPa\/Duke kind of thing and I stayed out of the way. \u00a0I made sure that the building materials were close. \u00a0Then I tore down the wood fence on the west side of our house. \u00a0Big THANKS to the old man for doing this.<\/p>\n
We made it to Milligan’s and checked out these buck prospects that he sold. \u00a0There were some dang good prospects. \u00a0I made several stops and I am liking these Easy Decision kids. \u00a0They are just dang good livestock. \u00a0Proud to say that we made one as good as Easy Decision. \u00a0I have heard some rumors about some good Easy Decision kids that will sell in April. \u00a0He has had a good start but things look bright. \u00a0I laid hands on a pair of Blood Pressure kids that are wicked.<\/p>\n
Tyke, Kenny Rogers (Old Greer) and I got back from a tour today. \u00a0Saw some good stock. \u00a0Once home, my mom showed up with some gumbo. \u00a0Beings as I have dealt with some legitimate coonasses, I questioned the contents of this gumbo. \u00a0Hey now, my mom is a wicked good cook–one of the very best. \u00a0Just ask my dad, my brothers, myself, the Dragon Lady or whoever else, this lady can flat out cook. \u00a0The Dragon Lady can school her on grilling a steak, but cooking\u2026oooohhh man, Duke’s mimi can flat out cook it. \u00a0But gumbo? \u00a0Yes sir! \u00a0It wasn’t quite as spicy as I like it, but it would make most cajuns proud. \u00a0The roux was dang good. \u00a0Really, all it needed was some wicked good chow-chow dabbed on top of it.<\/p>\n
On a further note, just like carpenters and plumbers, one should not pay a tree trimmer until the job is done. I didn’t want to pay him at 3:30 in the afternoon but I was already late to head to OKC. \u00a0These guys must have watched me drive off and then quit. \u00a0One more hour of work would have been perfect, but NO! \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0I do feel like I got my money’s worth. \u00a0So\u2026.<\/p>\n
In good time I will write about OYE. \u00a0It was a wicked good stock show–all species. \u00a0I would keep writing tonight but I am going to step off the porch and take advantage of the wind laying down just a bit.<\/p>\n
P.S. \u00a0Here’s to hoping and praying that Rick Barnthouse makes a comeback.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Have a good one and a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n
