The weekend befor Christmas.
They say that if you don't like the weather in Texas just wait an hour or two.... Yesterday while we were building fence it was overcast,warm and humid. This morning it is 38 degrees and windy. So, there's a fire in the fireplace as we plan our work this morning.
Most likely it will be an abbrieviated workday.
Tractor broke down yesterday. Wouldn't start unless jumped, so got new battery and still won't start. Have to call tractorman & and tell Dan to bring his own tractor to put out hay on Christmas Eve.
Got all posts up for new fence on north side of yard at the house. Tacked wire up this morning before we left to keep cows out of the yard.
Made a little progress at taking down the Ash Tree on the North side of house. It seems bigger when you start trying to make it smaller.
Punk in good spirits and fine form. He worked all day helping us out.
Still only 16 calves.
....and that's the news from el rancho.

TSM storm the rancho
in case you missed it, the too shy musicians returned to their birthplace for their 4th annual invitational jam. bombarded by the message of the election year that change is good regardless of the consequences, the jam relocated from dripping to the rancho. Only one explosion, no casualties reported (rancho is now stocked with charcoal lite).Wednesday, December 3, 2008
