    Wife's debit card was compromised. When they called and she put a stop to it and got to looking, she discovered several small transactions, all under $30. Totaled up to a little over $122, all of it was to Canada or some tictok crap. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm glad they didn't get more, but ####! If you're gonna commit fraud and face potentially felonies in multiple countries, why not go for broke ol' son?!!

    It happens to the best of us!. Wish i could say I've never been planted by a 4 legged critter.... but..... Most important (albeit usually painful part) is ya gotta get back on. It's not only a life metaphor, it's very important with horses, let one buck ya off and not get back on right after, you've just taught that horse all it has to do is buck to get outta work, and they'll do it every time.

    Well getting my Tuesday load now it seems. Was behind bc of some miscommunication and some steer tires coming apart. But hoping this is better. IMG_5021.jpeg IMG_5019.jpeg IMG_5020.jpeg

    Yes it could have. I’d rather not find out how to control a semi with a blown steers. Very good reason to do a pre and post trip. And a quick once over when ever stopped.

    Sold all mine a few months ago, might eventually get one more older gelding just for when I need a little help with the cows. But they were more trouble than they were worth for me, only being home on the weekends and the wife having no experience with them and trying to spoil them like our chihuahua's!.. after I got kicked last year I said ya know I don't remember that hurtin that bad in my 20's, but it sure as S hurts now!!..I always had a soft spot for buckskin's, this dude was registered with Poco Bueno blood throughout top and bottom, though he was gonna be my dream horse , WRONG! He had the looks but no brains. 20221030_174641.jpg Took me almost 2 months to catch him after I brought him home and turned him out. Sent him to a buddy to work the sale barns for a couple months, made no difference, always high headed nervous and on the verge of blowing up. Finally had enough, a ranch in Wyoming bought him, they might still be looking for him if they turned him out lol

    They have a bunch of signs. That curve is not hard to get around. BUT you do need to slow down a wee bit if road is wet. But you know how they are....................HAMMER DOWN !
