One only has to deal with either of my offspring to realize that being hard-bearded, driven, draw a line in the dirt, goal oriented issues–is a genetic trait. \u00a0I will take the blame for this. \u00a0Is this a Kelln trait or derived from the Schneider side? \u00a0How about double-bred on the sire side. \u00a0Now, throw in some genetics from the maternal side. \u00a0What do you get? \u00a0Two damn great kids if you ask the Dragon Lady.<\/p>\n
However, at least one of these kids inherited a cool gene that involves recognizing cool music. \u00a0Both actually got this gene (from me) but one is POSITIVE while the other may just be a carrier. \u00a0 I got a text tonight from the favorite daughter about a collaboration song that involves a cool chick and a dead guy. \u00a0Hunh?!?<\/p>\n
Yep. \u00a0A little ditty from Sheryl Crow and Johnny Cash. \u00a0Redemption Day<\/em>. \u00a0<\/em>I’m not hear to tell anybody that this is the best duet\/song\/video whatever. \u00a0It’s just bad ass. \u00a0Pick a cause. \u00a0It applies. \u00a0Personal–Political–Religon (No kidding, it was released on Good Friday.) \u00a0This song applies.<\/p>\n How powerful is a well placed piano note? \u00a0Listen to that song and you will know.<\/p>\n The ironic thing about Kela texting me to check out this song, was the timing. \u00a0I don’t need any redemption on the political side. \u00a0Personally, I don’t need many friends but I strongly value the ones that I call friend. \u00a0Friend is a powerful, powerful term with me. \u00a0Religion–I will want and need redemption until the day that I pass\u2026and then some more. \u00a0Jesus himself gathered a few days until redemption. \u00a0I’m pretty sure a few days won’t suffice for me, nor any of you reading this.<\/p>\n I can feel this typing getting dark. \u00a0We ain’t having no part of that. \u00a0I spent Thursday in my rightful place\u2026 in a pickup hauling livestock. \u00a0There isn’t a sale barn in the NW OK, TX panhandle or SW kansas that deals with sheep and goats. \u00a0So, I made a mile or three and headed towards Pawnee, OK. \u00a0Dumped some critters on 6 different tickets. \u00a0Then, I headed towards Braggs, OK. \u00a0I had to put a $20 bill into the turnpike fund machine. \u00a0It kicked me back gold coins instead of dollar bills.<\/p>\n We made it to the Isbell family compound. \u00a0No luck for us. \u00a0The women were gone being productive… which left us with Gary. \u00a0Cattle were looked at in many pastures. \u00a0I’m not sure what county or state we were in. \u00a0LOTS OF TREES. \u00a0But, we saw good calves. \u00a0Then, it got dark and Gary said lets go to a Mexican joint in Warner. \u00a0 Dude, Fargo to Warner is a bit of a drive. \u00a0I’d do it again.<\/p>\n The doctor has me on 90 ounces of water a day. \u00a0PEOPLE, 90 ounces per day means that you piss a lot. \u00a0I was also “allowed” to drive as long as I broke it into 90 minute intervals. \u00a0Dude, there was a time or two that I needed to stop just so I could get rid of part of that 90 ounces of water. \u00a0Got in about 1 am, checked does. \u00a0Crashed for a few hours, did chores and headed to CDE practice. \u00a0Then off to sort calves. \u00a0Good day. \u00a0If I was any better they would call me Mr. Greg TravASS Simonson. \u00a0 \u00a0Junior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One only has to deal with either of my offspring to realize that being hard-bearded, driven, draw a line in the dirt, goal oriented issues–is a genetic trait. \u00a0I will take the blame for this. \u00a0Is this a Kelln trait or derived from the Schneider side? \u00a0How about double-bred on […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2882"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2882"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2889,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2882\/revisions\/2889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
