Adventures Of Life!

2007 Before Her Injury   Sunday night Lyfa my 23 yr old horse decided she needed to see the country. Took a walk up the logging road over the hill to visit the neighbors a few miles away. Now she had a bell around her neck which I would listen for while out in the pasture that are due for fencing. Around 4pm I went out to look for her and she was not where I thought she would be. I didn't panic yet. I got in my FJ and took a drive looking for her. Found her track up the logging road and no Lyfa. Climbed a little bit up the hill and still no Lyfa. I turned the car around because the brush was to thick for the FJ headed back for the house. Made a call to the neighbor to be on the lookout for her maybe she would try to find her way back to the other horses down the way. Well I could not be so fortunate. Called the folks and explained what the situation was. They told me that they would be over the next morning with the buggy to help look for Lyfa.  Now my 4 wheeler is brok...

2011 Christmas time on the ranch in Montana Remember the steering wheel issue(honking horn when you turn the wheel) on the Brown Bomber. We have taken 'er to the shop as of yesterday. The guys there are pretty good guys, reminds me of my younger days in my grandpa's shop. Not quite sure that they skin their deers out in there but dang close I would imagine. Their wood stove is great!! Back to the truck...Mtn Man got the steering wheel off after he bought a special tool to pull it. It was a bit rusty but he got it. Bad bearings was the culprit so he thought. Got it back together enough to drive it straight to the shop because now it has wiring issues(draining the battery) which started when the horn/steering thingy started. And the blower in the truck has been out for a long time and they are willing to tackle that bit of problem.  ********************************************************************************* Not really anything to report on the farm except maybe this...

Well since ya asked ....yes it is still raining! I am not complaining the ground was thirsty. We did get a bunch though. We had some buckets in the back of the buggy and I believe we had 4+ inches of rain in them. Did I mention it is still raining!  The trees have really taken on some new colors. We noticed even the oaks are changing...winter is not far off. ********************************************************************************* Now to the Brown Bomber Here she is in all her glory... We loaded her up with all the garbage to take to the transit center. Now on this load there is old furniture, bbq, can full of old asphalt shingles (been layin on its side for months) and burn barrels. And off we went.....Now this truck is so noisy that you really can't have a conversation in it..should probably be wearing hearing protection but we don't. We get there just in the nick of time....lunch break was fast approaching...we had to shut the gate b...
