Well it's official. This is the most boring time of the year for me. This time last year I was at the Craft Ranch spending some time with some good friends. Even though it was only a few days it broke up the month of January. It gave me something to look forward to as well as recover from. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of things to do. But the weather just fights you. With the warm weather and rain we have now it makes for muddy pastures and pens. Sometimes you cause more damange and work trying to get things done then you do actually getting things done. A good thing comes when the ground freezes up. This allows us to get out on the frozen ground and get some things done. But then you're fighting the cold weather. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the wind. It's not so much the heat but the humidity.
Last time we talked I was bringing up the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg, PA. Well that idea went down the tubes. The night before I was going to leave my Ford broke down...again. That was the last time for me. We traded her in for a new....ready...CHEVY. That'll upset some folks. I'm just tired of being left on the side of the road. And being broke down is one thing. But being broke down a days ride from home, with a load of cattle on is trouble in itself.
I'm ready for the sales season to start back up. Being on the road. Weather changing. And I have a feeling this year is going to be better then last year. Texas is getting rain, attitudes are changing. I think this is going to be the best year in a while.
See you down the road...
