Bright Morning

2012-02-03T09:23:00.002-07:00

I guess it's still winter, as we still have a little snow. Last nights storm missed us but it's still coming down in Denver. I guess it's a good time to live in the mountains. We really need snow in the high country but I'm ready for Spring. Wish I could be outside a little more but the snow and mud prevent anything that isn't a must. Now the groundhog says 6 more weeks of winter, so we'll see if he's right. I've had the urge to go fishing the last few days and I can handle the cold long enough to put a few in the frying pan, so I might just do it.

I'll see what entertainment I can find to share.

You know you've married a horsewoman when...

Your new wife says, "Honey, I have an idea, let's go to this place that offers trail rides!" and six months later you're supporting three horses on a part-time job and a graduate student's stipend.

You can justify any conceivable modification to your pickup truck by claiming that it will make it a better towing vehicle.

She treats you like a hero for giving her a home-made boot jack on her birthday.

You start using her hobby to leverage your own. "Sure I can make you some saddle racks. All I need is a new table saw."

You buy her so much heavy duty winter clothing that you find on a mailing lists for hunting, fishing and survivalist catalogs.

You find yourself unquestioningly trudging through a sleet storm to feed the horses.

You find yourself juggling roofing steel in a New Year's day blizzard to finish your horse barn.

You realize that not only have you become expert in trailer backing, horse grooming, tack cleaning, and giving her a leg up, you can also repeat her riding instructor's comments from her last lesson verbatim.

You get so used to her doing things like mucking stalls with a broken finger or showing her horse with a stress fractured ankle that you can't understand it when morning sickness wipes her out.

She names your first child "Dan Patch" or "Misty".

Inside Day

2012-01-19T12:13:00.002-07:00

Words to live by, but I don't. I think we're all guilty. The weather here is cloudy and dreary, looking like snow. We really need snow, especially in the mountains, to prevent a very dry summer. It's a good day to stay inside and catch up on internet work. I'll work on my latest ventures, and watch old movies on TV.

Hows bout some old country advice...

An old man, a boy and a mule were going to town.
The boy rode on the mule and the old man walked.
As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a
shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.

The old man and the boy thought that maybe the critics were
right,so they changed places.
Later, they passed some more people that remarked, "What a shame
he makes that little boy walk."
They then decided they both would walk. Soon they passed some
more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a
decent mule to ride.
So, they both rode the mule.
Now they passed some more people that shamed them by saying how
awful to see such a load on a poor mule.
The boy and the man said they were probably right, so they
decided to carry the mule.
As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and
he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?

If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass good-by

Have a great day!

2012 A New Beginning

2012-01-09T15:12:00.004-07:00

I'm going to make this year better than last. Last year started out really hard, but the second half was a blessing, on a good horse in the high mountains every day. Now I've moved on to Rifle, Colorado where I lived as a young boy. It's really good to see places I remember from my childhood. The small town atmosphere survives here and it's great. I'll stay here, maybe for good. I now have time to get back to the internet and writing. Of course play time is important.

I found a good money maker in my new searches. It worked for me the first day. http://adv.justbeenpaid.com/?r=Fhh0tYECua&s=nature1

Had to add some of the old humor.

For Those Who Take Life Too Seriously

-A day without sunshine is like, night.

-I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

-You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

-Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how popular it remains?

-He who laughs last thinks slowest.

-Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

-Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

-The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

-Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have.

-The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

-Change is inevitable except from vending machines.

-Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener.

-Success always occurs in private and failure in full view.

-If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

-If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

-I intend to live forever - so far so good.

Have a great day!

Here's a friend that shows up every day with his harem. I guess he's not worried about hunting season. It's nice to see the animals every day, especially when they aren't afraid. Just hope they stay behind the house. I'm a hunter myself, but when they are so close and seem to trust you, I couldn't harm one.

Later.

Short Break

2011-11-13T15:54:00.001-07:00

Here are some of my traveling companions in the mountains. It's been really busy guiding and outfitting for hunters the last few months. Had some very successful hunts. Now it's snowing and really cold since we are normally working above 10,000 ft. and often 12,000. The ranch sits at 9200 ft. so we are pretty high. I'm loving every minute of it. There's a new adventure every day. Now it's cold and lots of snow, but this is still to much fun to call it work.

One Tough Year!

2011-09-25T20:32:00.000-06:00

I've been through some really rough times this year, but now I've found a home. High in the Colorado Rockies. It's going to take a little time to get back into the swing of things. I spend most of my time on a horse above 10,000 ft. Can't call this work because it's so beautiful, and a new adventure every day. Not going to spend much time until I get organized. Till later. Ken

Is it Spring yet?

2011-01-27T13:12:00.002-07:00

Still cold at night, but warming in the day. Our snow is almost gone but just when you get used to the warm weather it comes back.

Have to share a little humor.

Subject: The Cowboy Goes To Heaven

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. 'Have you ever done anything of particular merit?' St. Peter asked.

'Well, I can think of one thing,' the cowboy offered.

'On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota , I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman.

I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, Now, back

off or I'll kick the s--- out of all of you!'

St. Peter was impressed, 'When did this happen?'

'Couple of minutes ago.'
Not much today, just my favorite new biz.

Enough Cold!

2011-01-17T09:38:00.007-07:00

Has everybody had enough cold yet? The below zero temperatures are gone for a few days, but I think we'll have more before winter is over. When it gets above 20 I feel like we have a real heat wave. I'm sure tired of frozen hoses and dripping pipes.

I've still been working on my latest venture, and it's doing well. Not a cent out of pocket to start, and make some of what we all need. Simple to set up and maintain with just minutes a day. http://vur.me/2205/ZNZC

While nosing around the internet I found some entertainment that some of you can relate to.

The Diary of a Snow Shoveler

December 8
6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.

December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14
Snow lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life!

The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way.

December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer.

The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my butt on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like heck. The wife laughed for one hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere.

Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20
Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Darn snowplow came by twice.

Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white crap fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to poop. By the time I got undressed, pooped and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the jerk is lying.

December 23
Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she nuts!!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24
6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the man who drives that snowplow I'll drag him through the snow by his nose and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been!

Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the snowplow.

December 25
Merry -bleeping- Christmas! 20 more inches of the slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26
Still snowed in. Why the heck did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze, plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28
Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. THE WITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver he is now suing me for a million dollars not only the beating I gave him but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up where the sun don't shine. The wife went home to her mother. 9" predicted.

December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8
Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

Have a great day.

It's time to get this thing off the ground again. I'm not going to make any excuses, that nobody wants to hear, about where I've been. I can only say one thing. Being home and playing sure beats real physical labor. We do what we gotta do to make a dollar even if it's not fun.

I can't spend much time today until I get organized again. I still promote my new endeavours and here's my latest recommendation. It's super easy and you will make some of what we all need. http://vur.me/2205/ZNZC

Long Time Gone

2010-04-02T09:17:00.004-06:00

Here's what kept me busy. My wife was here from Germany and we spent a lot of time traveling, and exploring in the desert. Of course we had our monster watch dog with us. It was a great visit with my wife. She returned to Germany to run our business, but will return in the fall for good. Separation is to hard.

I've still been promoting the same business, mostly on autopilot. Here is something you must have though if you are serious about internet marketing.

I'll try to keep more up to date.

Never Ending Snow

2010-02-07T08:07:00.003-07:00

Who else is tired of this. It's really pretty, but not fun when you have to go out in it. I've enjoyed the winter even though it was bitter cold and lots of snow, but enough already. We're supposed to get more today.

After I feed my critters I have some time to spend playing. A little anyway, but there's always something that needs attention when it is so cold. Frozen water, snow to plow, hay to haul, fences to mend from the nightly visit from elk and deer. I'm glad I have a very small farm or there would be no time to play.

Who's going to win the Superbowl? I'm going for the underdog because I lived not far from New Orleans for 5 years. After all that the people have been through, they deserve a win.

Since it's Superbowl Sunday, we need some football humor:

First Football Game

A guy took his girlfriend to her first football game. Afterward he asked her how she like the game.

'I liked it, but I couldn't understand why they were killing each other for 25 cents,' she said.

'What do you mean?' he asked.

'Well, everyone kept yelling, 'Get the quarter back!'

This is my surprise from nature this morning. It was very cold last night, and when I looked out the window, this was my tree in frost. I'm sure I'll find some more surprises when I venture out in the cold.

Best wishes to everyone.

Christmas is Near

2009-12-22T09:00:00.004-07:00

Merry Christmas to all.

A Horse's Christmas Fable

The old gray horse sidled up to the pasture fence with little dancing steps. The place seemed familiar, yet somehow strange.
The grass was greener than any grass he'd ever seen, and when he looked closely at the white paddock gate it had a kind of pearly sheen. and there was another funny thing. A big, black cloud hovered just inside the gate. The cloud wasn't up in the sky where it properly belonged. It was like a great puff of black smoke rising from the grass.

Suddenly the cloud dissolved and revealed a horse. He was a small chestnut with a blunt head and one white stocking and brownish hairs in his tail and mane. The gray horse thought he had a kind of old timely look to him.

"Hello, old gray horse," the chestnut from the black cloud said. "Hey, that's a real good trick!" the gray horse exclaimed. "Where'd you learn it?"

The chestnut disappeared into the cloud again, but emerged immediately. "Learned it the day I was born," he replied, with a whinny that sounded like a chuckle. "You see, I was born on April Fool's Day and there was a total eclipse of the sun. So they named me Eclipse. I was always playing tricks on people too. Used to kick my grooms and try to throw my riders and I bit the auctioneer that sold me."

"My name is..." the old gray horse started to say politely, but the tricky chestnut ducked in and out of his cloud and
interrupted rudely. "Native Dancer," he said. "I ought to know you. I'm your great-great-great-great-great - I always lose count of the 'greats' 'a?" but anyway, you're a descendant of mine… almost everybody is, in fact. The Thoroughbreds, that is."

"Are you the gatekeeper?" Native Dancer asked.
"Mostly," Eclipse replied. "I'm on duty whenever one of my descendants is coming up. That's mostly so far as the Thoroughbreds go. Old Matchem has a few left and he takes over when one's due. And poor old Herod, he's posted here occasionally, but there's not many of his male line that aren't here already."

"What is this place" Native Dancer asked. "I guess I'm kind of lost." "the Green Place," Eclipse replied. "That's what
it's called. The Green Place. Most of the horses that get lost, come here.
We have to send some back of course."

"Why?" the Dancer asked.

"Because they don't belong here, that's why. Long before I came up there was this fellow Bayard, for instance. He was a devil-horse. Belonged to an old necromancer named Malagigi and he did the devil's work. Helped that villain Aymon of Dordogne to triumph over Charlemagne, they say. and a wizard named Michael Scott had a big black beast who used to stomp his feet and set al the bells of Paris ringing. He even caused the towers of the palace to fall down one day.

The Big Guy doesn't want that kind here. But we have Jesse James' horse, and Dick Turpin's too. The Big Guy says they did nothing wrong themselves. They were just faithful to their masters, and The Big Guy thinks that's a virtue."

"Who's the Big Guy?" Native Dancer asked.

"You'll find out!" Eclipse answered airily. He lowered his muzzle and pushed the gate open. "You might as well come in. You understand you're on probation though. The Big Guy makes his decisions about new arrivals every Christmas. Let's see, it's November 16, the way you figure things down there. So you won't have long to wait anyway."

"I'll bet The Big Guy is Man O' War" Native Dancer said as he moved inside and gazed over the emerald green expanses that seemed to stretch into infinity.

Eclipse snorted. "Don't get smart, boy" he said. Then he added maliciously, "You'd lose your bet too. the way a lot of people lost their bets on you at Churchill Downs one day."

Native Dancer felt hurt, for his ancestor had touched a raw nerve. His lip tremble a bit as he replied defensively, "That Derby was the only race I ever lost."

"I never lost even one race," Eclipse said unsympathetically. "So don't get smart up here. The Big Guy doesn't want
any smart-alecks in the Green Place. Remember that."
Native Dancer was a sensitive sort. He felt as if his eyes were teary and he hoped Eclipse didn't notice. "I won 21 out of 22, and Man O'War only won 20 out of 21" he declared. "And my son Kauai King won the Kentucky Derby."

"My sons won three Derbys at Epsom" Eclipse said.
"Young Eclipse took the second running and Saltram won the fourth and Sergeant won the fifth, and I'd have won the bloomin' race myself, only they didn't run it in my time. So quit bragging. Somebody's coming and they might
overhear you and tell The Big Guy, and that would be a mark against you."

A bay horse who seemed even more old-timey than Eclipse ambled up. "Is it my time now?" he asked eagerly.

"Not yet, Herod," Eclipse answered in a kindly fashion. "Old Fig's on duty now. One of his is on the way."

"Who's Old Fig?" Native Dancer asked. "I never heard of that one."

"There's a lot of things you never heard of, boy," Eclipse replied. "His real name is Figure, but down there they called him Justin Morgan, after his owner. Here he is now."

A very small, dark bay horse with a round barrel, tiny feet, and furry fetlocks came bustling up to the gate. "OK, OK, I'll take over," he said busily. "Where is that boy? Can't stand tardiness.
I've got things to do. A load to pull, a field to plough, a race to run, a trot to trot. No time to waste. Where is that boy?"

In the weeks that followed, The Dancer met hundreds, maybe thousands, of horses. Some of them were famous, and some of them were his ancestors and a few of them were his own sons and daughters.

He met a snorting white stallion named Bucephalus who had been approved for the Green Place by The Big Guy even though he was rumored by some that he was cursed by the deadly sin of pride because he had carried a conqueror named Alexander.

He met another gray horse who limped because he had stepped on a rusty nail back home just before he became lost forever. His name was Traveller, and he was a war-horse too, in the days when a man named General Lee had owned him.

There were other soldier steeds, two of them descendants of the bustling little stallion they called Old Fig up here. One was Phil Sheridan's black Rienzi and the other horse called both Fancy and Little Sorrel who had been the mount of Stonewall Jackson.

Native Dancer found Man O' War an amiable sort despite his proud aristocratic bearing, and he grew especially fond of a bony old fellow named Exterminator, who patiently answered all but one of his questions.
He asked the question of everyone: "Who is The Big Guy?" And the answer was always the same: "Wait 'til Christmas."

He met Messenger and Hambletonian and Hindoo. He met horses that had dared the dreadful fences of the Grand National. He met a horse who stared blindly into the emerald darkness. His name was Lexington.
He met horses who had pulled circus wagons and horses who had pulled brewers' trucks and horses who had drawn man's plows over the fields of earth, and he met others who had been the mounts of kings and captains.

Always the answer to his question was the same:
"Wait 'til Christmas."

Eclipse fussed over him and kept a watchful eye on his behavior and said he neighed too much and asked too many questions.
Eclipse could not stand the thought of The Big Guy banishing one of his descendants from the Green Place. And Native Dancer did not wish to leave. He doubted he could ever find his way to Maryland again if The Big Guy disapproved of him. And the Green Place was very pleasant in all respects. The grass was lush and he met so many interesting horses.

Back home he had sometimes been troubled by nightmares, for a Dark Star haunted his dreams, but now he slept
peacefully and rarely remembered the Derby he had lost. He became nervous though, as the weeks went by and the stars grew brighter.

And finally it was time.

On a night when the skies burned with starlight all the horses gathered as near as possible to a little hillock of the vast paddock. There were hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of them, a murmuring and expectant throng that seemed to stretch over the emerald grass beneath the diamonds in the heavens.

Eclipse was very tense. He hovered over Native Dancer, whispering, "Look your best now. Be quiet and humble. The Big Guy will be here any minute."

Suddenly the vast throng was silent as the stars themselves. The Big Guy stood on the hillock in a blinding blaze of
starlight, and Native Dancer could barely contain himself. He choked back a whinny of derision and whispered to Eclipse, "Is he The Big Guy? He's so little! And he's not even a horse! What did he ever do?"

Eclipse whispered, "He's a donkey. He carried a woman heavy with child to a small town on another night when the stars were bright. It was a long, long time ago."

Sunday Joke:

Cowboy Joe
Cowboy Joe was telling his fellow cowboys back on the ranch about his first visit to a big-city church.
"When I got there, they had me park my old truck in the corral," Joe began.
"You mean the parking lot," interrupted Charlie, a worldly fellow.
"I walked up the trail to the door," Joe continued.
"The sidewalk to the door," Charlie corrected him.
"Inside the door, I was met by this dude," Joe went on.
"That would be the usher," Charlie explained.
"Well, the usher led me down the chute," Joe said.
"You mean the aisle," Charlie said.
"Then, he led me to a stall and told me to sit there," Joe continued.
"Pew," Charlie retorted.
"Yeah," recalled Joe. "That's what that pretty lady said when I sat down beside her."

Newest Addition

2009-11-07T10:05:00.006-07:00

This is the newest addition to our family of animals. I never thought I would have such a thing, but she is great. As you can see she likes to play with the cats that are bigger than her. Not the typical Chihuahua, she growls and has a deep bark when she wants something. Not the usual shy lap dog, she loves to be outside, even around the horses.

I don't have a lot today, but I have to share the best advertising site I have found so far. A definite must if you need free advertising for your business. It just started and has grown like crazy.

Are we ready for this?

2009-11-02T07:53:00.005-07:00

I can't believe it's that time again. This has been one fast year. Everyone says time goes by faster as you get older so I guess I'm fitting the mold.

I've been busy wrapping pipes with heat tape, installing tank heaters for my horses, covering hay stacks, and resealing my roof. It takes time but will save time and misery when it really does get cold.

The cattle are all off the mountain now and the deer are moving into the fields at night, so I guess they know it's time to hole up for winter. I think I'll hole up myself as much as possible since old injuries are hurting with the cold. I can spend more time playing on the internet.

Since we're talking internet I've shifted gears again. I fell into the old habit of spending more than I was earning again, so I went back to my old standby few that are cheap or free, and run pretty much on auto-pilot. Here's my best. http://vur.me/2205/kk

A little long, but here's some interesting humor.

In Order Of Stupidity...

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special)?

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???.....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding - "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????....)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time)?

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness..." (and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what)?

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Oh my God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Up and Running

2009-10-22T08:44:00.003-06:00

My computer crashed not long after my last post, and then I crashed. I was stupid enough to have it repaired by a so called expert, which was expensive. It took me almost a month to find and install all the programs I had before. Needless to say I wasn't happy. Then with my good luck, the first time I tried to do some work it crashed again. This time I ordered all the software and did it myself. I'm not a pro, so it took me awhile when I finally received everything I needed. The one thing that upsets me is the loss of three years of pictures. It's time to take more and this time back them up. I learned a hard valuable lesson.

The picture is where my uncle lives and I spent a lot of time when I was very young. I really enjoy visiting places like this.

Even though my computer was dead my home business thankfully ran itself.

Cute Baby.

2009-07-31T22:17:00.005-06:00

This little guy was a daily visitor while I was enjoying the great mountain air of Colorado. I had a great time and had time to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Unfortunately I now have to play farmer again. I could spend the whole day watching the young critters if I had my way.

While I was away I pretty much left the Home Business on auto-pilot. Everything did surprisingly well. I had a few minutes every couple of days to check in, and found this one to do the best. Once everthing is in place, it's very easy.

Found some humor to share.

Husbands Vs. Horses

Good Things About Husbands:

Husbands are less expensive to shoe.

Feeding a husband doesn't require anything that even mildly compares with the hassle of putting up hay.

A lame husband can still work.

A husband with a belly-ache doesn't have to be walked.

Husbands don't try to scratch their heads on your back.

They're better able to understand puns.

If they're playing hard to catch you *may* be able to run them down on foot.

They know their name.

They pay their own bills.

They apologize when they step on your toes.

They seldom refuse to get in the vehicle.

They don't panic, yelling and running all through the house when you leave them alone. (unless you left the kids too)

For a nominal fee you can hire someone else to clip them.

Men rarely pee in the middle of the bed day in and day out.

Men don't usually trample their dinner into their beds, or eat the bedding.

You don't have to bolt the door every time you leave them for a few minutes
to stop them running back to their friends.

The Horse's Advantage:

If they don't work out you can sell them.

They don't come with in-laws.

You don't have to worry about your children looking like them.

You never have to iron their saddle pads.

If you get too fat for one you can shop for a bigger one.

They smell good when they sweat.

You can repair their "clothes" with duct tape.

It's possible to keep them from "jumping the fence".

You can force them to stay in good physical condition...with a whip if necessary.

They don't want their turn at the computer.

They turn white with age, but not bald.

They learn to accept restraint.

They don't care what you look like, as long as you have a carrot.

Your horse will not think a new pair of shoes every month is excessive

Your horse will be glad of the company if you go shopping for another one, and your friends will approve of you keeping more than one, as this is more natural

Hot...Hot...Hot...!

2009-07-19T08:05:00.004-06:00

The cactus enjoys the heat a lot more than I do. Not long ago I was complaining about the cold but now it's HOT. Yesterday was 105 degrees on the farm. My horses even stayed in the shade all day. I figured they had more sense than I have so I followed their lead. I ensured they had plenty of water and the two drank, or played with about 50 gallons.

Since I tried to stay out of the heat, I spent more time working on the home business. My best performer is still going strong.

Moon Rise

2009-07-08T22:05:00.007-06:00

Big bright moon rising makes me feel almost as good as sunrise. With this one it was almost daylight.

I've been busy lately doing the old manual labor thing. Somebody has to do it, so I did it myself since nobody else would. I can't complain though, as I was on the mountain and enjoying the fresh air and solitude.

I set up a new program which has been running pretty much on autopilot, while I've been away. Have you ever had a real good feeling about a new program when you start it and everything just falls in to place. This one has been performing really well. I had seen the promotions before, but it didn't really grab me. Finally I looked in to it, and I'm really glad I did. It's a very easy 3 step system that makes a lot of sense once you start the ball rolling. The support is the best I've had with anything I've tried so far. What's the old saying? Try it you'll like it.

Broke!

2009-06-26T20:42:00.005-06:00

One of those days when I should have stayed in bed. I broke everything I touched. There's only a few hours a day when I can work at farming, but everything broke. Then to top it off, bad thunderstorms in the afternoon. Tomorrow has to be better as it can't be any worse. I'll check my Home Business and see if I broke that too.

Here are some cowboy quotes & tips for life:

*Don't let your yearnings get ahead of your earnings.

*Make apologies not excuses.

*Don't go in if you don't know the way out.

*The horse stopped with a jerk-- and the jerk fell off!

*When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.

*Don't mess with something that ain't bothering you.

*It's better to keep your mouth shut an look stupid than open it and prove it.

*Just 'cause trouble comes visiting doesn't mean you have to offer it a place to sit down.

*Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

*Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back.

Morning Rain

2009-06-18T08:29:00.004-06:00

The wild flowers I planted are about the only thing that enjoys our current weather. I need to do some farming but can't because it's to wet and it's miserable when I care for all my animals. I shouldn't complain since it's normally very dry here. I really have a lot of work to do.

I started this post early in the morning, so now I'll finish this evening. I did some inside work that I've been putting off, since I didn't have an excuse. The weather looks nice now, so hopefully it'll dry out enough to work tomorrow

I caught up a little with my home business after finishing my repair jobs. www.urlfreeze.com/2kranches/kountrykash/

Have you heard this one?

A young boy had just gotten his driver's license and inquired of his father, if they could discuss his use of the car.

His father said he'd make a deal with his son.

"You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car."

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said,

"Son, I've been real proud. You brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut."

The young man paused a moment then said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there's even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair."

To this his father replied, "Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went? "
