I've discovered that you are never to old to have someone else tell you you're young and inexperienced!

That is an interesting article to read! Ain't no women like her around any more, for sure. That sounded like one mad putty tat when it bit her hand. :eek: You were the boy that helped her that time, is what I understood? That must have been some real old time western stuff back then. Did you ever happen to meet Louis L amour (great western writer)? He had some articles about his younger years that are the same type of adventures you have had, where he roamed all over. Great stuff! Keep 'em coming when you feel up to it. :thumbsup:

Latest news. :laughing:
Have at least 2 hawks. Saw a pair flying south, ( they don't migrate). Watched them till the went out of site. Hoped to see their mating richual ( SPELLING?? ) have had the privilege of see it once. If interested there may be a video on you tube. Its the same for eagles.

Coyote came to the north gate. Hunting has not been good for it, ribs were showing. Mother Bobby was going to get it. :) She also chases off the helicopters

Quail are drifting back. just not the number as there should be or were here..

A couple of Health tips. From Me????
If you want to loose weight, forget the high priced diets & pills.
Just skip 1 meal a day. I have been over 250# a couple of times in my life & that is how I got down. Use to say my fighting weight was 185#. Now I need to put on 50# to get there.

Almost impossible to keep Riley out of the truck when I go some place. Tried to outrun her the other day. Even 20 mph is about as fast as possible arond here. She ran right beside the door for around 400 yards, so I let her in. Long ride & several stops. She never really tried to get out. 3 Hours give or take a little.

If any of you have diabetes. Mesquite beans will help you control your sugar. They digest very slowly & will help maintain sugar levels.

Mrs Healy was quite the lady. There were several inaccuracies in the article. She did not climb the rock. I used a stick to put the rope around its neck. It did bite her "Through the thumb." 6,000 acres does not sound right, Maybe just the patented land?? Could not have counted the forest service land that was leased.

The ranches yard, buildings & so on was a slice of paradise. If interested I will describe it to you.

Was living in the rock house at the time. It had a screened in front porch about 12 by 40. Within 2 days that cub was laying there, head in her lap drinking out of a baby bottle.

More later. Keep in mind that most of what I remember has gaps in it & happened while I was between 12 & 17.

Damm its cold this AM 35 degrees here. I hate cold weather. Could be the start of a cold winter.

Ken keep forgetting about the explosion. Apache powder Company, a little SW of Saint David blew up twice once in the 40s & again in the late 40s or early 50s.
They make dynamite, a lot was used in WW2.

Also had a hard rain a few days ago. It lasted a whole 30 seconds. tiny little cloud going north very fast.

Great Dane & large light tan ( almost blond ) dogs were in the road when I came in yesterday. The tan dog is as big ase the Dane. They wanted to get in the truck with me. Riley growled at them. First time i ever heard her growl like she meant it.

Nope tank is rusted throught & spraying a stream. Just great :D I am thrilled.

No need for washing machine since I han to turn the water off.

...Just before he left the washing machine died....
What is it doing (or not doing)? Just fixed one that wasn't pumping the water out... I told him (knowing him) that either a quarter (like mine machine had) or a .22 shell got in there.

As it turned out, a flatten round ball did it... checking the area just before the pump, I did find a 0.17 shell and yes, a quarter...

So what's up with it?

Have you checked Craigslist for a used washer? I took a peek, saw several working units starting at $100. You probably could find one cheaper at an auction, but that might take more time / several auctions till you got a deal. Good luck!

Watched that video & a few more. Kind a fun & some of it very true. If you don't want to cry, don't listen to the "old Shep" vider.

Washer just spins slowly in 1 direction. May try to get it fixed. Or find a good used one.

Called bank about a small loan. Credit score is "ZERO". Guess that is about as low as it can go??? Have not heard back yet. Everything paid for, not needed credit for 10 / 11 years.

Well man to be here around 9 AM. Maybe if we just get a tank me & new neighbor can install it?? 4 People use well, 4 are suppose to pay. 1 in CA, 1 says she broke, new neighbor should be OK. Has job driving train. But gone 5 days at a time. If I have to pay whole bill, no water for anyone till they pay.

Got beer, tomilies, some wine, & propane should be enough for most any 1.
