    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Got Pooch's brother over here now, he is chained up within able to touch noses and that's it. Pooch wanted to kill upon seeing him, I think he has finally learned his job, to guard this place from idiot neighbors dogs, varmints and idiots. Best to have two to fight against coyotes and whatever else.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or an idiot from any direction. ;)

    Still haven't sold any of the piglets. All 24 still there and they are posted on 4 or 5 different FB group local pages. Their pen is getting smaller by the day.

    Your growth is a threat to others. Every skill you build. Every win you earn. Every step you take forward. It reminds them of what they're not doing. It exposes their excuses. It challenges their comfort. In response... They'll minimize your wins They'll question your methods They'll...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Me and the wife did 3 concrete trucks back to back when we did this pole barn with a couple in their late 60's. I'm sure the customer is feeling it this morning when I made him hand dig the 13 pier holes out cause he didn't measure right when I was drilling with an auger on the skid steer...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Instead of listening to me to bring a concrete truck in for this house I am building, I get to pour 80 plus bags of concrete in a concrete mixer that only holds one 80lb bag at a time. Then when that hardens enough I got another 40 bags for the sonotubes. Going to be 90°F today and I'm going to...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Oh I'm sure these cattle are getting out, just at 1.5 miles away I'm not seeing it and they ain't coming up the ridge. Either way, that fence is the one I have been needing to take down for years and even told them it needs to go. Perfect timing to do it now. I'm curious as to how long I could...

    Well it's by miracle the ones that have gotten put in there haven't gotten out as there isn't any there right now and it's a new heard each time.

    With current firebreaks in we got plenty of dozer lines now. As one can see how crappy the fence was that was there and that was supposed to hold in bulls/ or cows. Where I turned around at by the gate, that gate needs to go, my property line goes another 100' past it and that is another day of...

    Yet they still made it in and prospered to keep others out cause they have nothing to lose. Not much really to do with the animals except for feed and wait for them to get to size or lay eggs. So here we are, working on my trailer to get it ready for a customer. Got my firebreak in where the...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Problem is, is this used to be a ranch of thousands of acres (Chezum). That ranch back in the 90's sold out and the owners who sold out put in place covenants to keep people out that they didn't desire. Well no one speaks of the covenants as they have never been enforced. Though if one wanted to...

    Not seeing any auction blocks for pigs anywhere around here. Could of taken them to the fair, but that would lead to a scene caused and me in court for raising pigs out here. The crazy lady down the road likes to frequent fairs and rodeos drunk and you know where that would go. Also the...
